Artwork Description:
Freedom Comes with the Dominance of the Color of Your Love depicts a map of our planet, covered with cities and countries, replaced by likenesses of designer brands. Brands appear to be distributed evenly across the planet. The artist wanted to highlight the universal property of trade and borderlessness for today's corporate world and culture. Fatherlands are conquered by brands with far greater success and speed than they were by conventional armies. Wars of Brands have a much sweeter perspective on the future of the planet than nuclear and conventional attacks. It is quite benevolent to expect that trade competition will become the prevailing form of combat between nations, alongside culture wars, sports battles, and the agiotage of scientific discovery among humans. Satisfaction and growth arrive with victories; humans cannot live without fights, adds Nicholaas Chiao.
