Education — one of the  main mechanisms of this system whose main purpose is — not  transfer of knowledge, a  form obedient citizens ready to act on  instructions and  not  ask questions. The concept of the project is moved away from the text of Michel Fuco ' laquo; To watch and  To punish». Fuco emphasizes that many social institutions — education, education, army— exist for the production of &laqua; obedient bodies». The project shows how from the early childhood, at what seemed to be innocent lessons out there, < < < < wiping the personality» for the sake of obedience.

The video transfers disciplinary logic from  educational environment to  public space, viewing the city as an expanded learning audience — an environment organized by rules, rules and  instructions. & quo; Obedient artist» plays not  as author, but  as the perfect performer of the system. It’s a 'nbsp; it’s acting on the 'nbsp; the logic of exercise — the repeater, the anchor, not the 'nbsp; the doubtable. The video brings the logic of obedience to absurd, showing how disciplinary thinking absorbs art practice by transforming it into  into  a tool for self-repeating order.
