My final artwork project was produced and inspired by the reading of Herbert Marcuse. It is a glass puppet. This puppet came to life due to the reflection of his book, titled One Dimensional Man. Marcuse was a German-American philosopher, sociologist, and political theorist. He was associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory; a social and political philosophical movement of thought. Also during the 60’s and 70’s, he became a major theorist of the New Left.

His goals were to implement a broad range of reforms on issues such as civil rights, gay rights, abortion, gender roles, and drugs. Marcuse critiqued capitalist social structures, as well as the impositions made on human freedom expression and joy. He expressed how we may see ourselves as free, but we are really living in a false democracy and false sense of freedom which subtly masks an authoritarian rule. In his written works, he criticized capitalism, modern technology, historical materialism and entertainment culture, arguing that they represent new forms of social control. These modern cultures strictly divide, brainwash and influence the way we should live. They really do not represent the real world. Specifically the entertainment business.
