Abstract

This chapter aims to address the artification of financial markets and politics in a way of researching art-like procedures in both areas. The events and processes on financial markets resemble art in the sense of unpredictability, disruption, and flexibility; in this, art does not turn out to be an area that would be endangered or even destroyed by neoliberal capitalism; on the contrary, it also applies capitalist logic, in particular when it comes to accumulation, ideology of growth, and the surplus-value making. Art is a machine that consumes and totalizes all available components. There is nothing that could not enter into its drive. Contemporary activist art can also act as an explicit political force. It develops devices to achieve political goals, thereby completely abolishing artistic and aesthetic functions.
