We are exposed to the many different manifestations of mass media on a
daily basis. As Marshall McLuhan states, "All media work us over completely. They
are so pervasive in their personal, political, economic, aesthetic, psychological,
moral, ethical, and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched,
unaffected, unaltered." As the end of the Twentieth Century nears, mass media is —
becoming increasingly sophisticated in its ability to "work us over". As media
evolves, artists working in relation to mass media employ many different strategies
in their responses to it. Instead of amalgamating a group of artists that work in close
discourse with each other, I have gathered an assortment of artists who apply as var-
ied strategies in response to mass media as mass media applies in its heterogeneous
manifestations.
