  bet365 best casino games Negri’s art critical work broke the boundaries between art and politics。The theory of “living labor” proposed by him,It is the potential state of labor as Marx calls it,It is also the potential state of all human activities including art,means the creative and transformative power inherent in human practice。It can be found by analyzing the development reality of modernism,Negri merges the general issues of art and labor,Not only limited by his left-wing stance: the dilemma caused by socialized mass production and ideological machines to self-legislation of art,Resulting in the infinite broadening of the boundaries of art disciplines;Phenomenology’s radical interpretation of Marx’s concept of labor and the digital transformation of labor,shows that labor theory and labor reality can fully explain current art issues。Negri uses the theory of "living labor" to examine abstract art and its "object turn" trend,Aims to explore the revolutionary vitality and practical path that art can bring to overcoming one’s own nihilization and postmodern nihilism。
