Expression as defacement is the political reinforcement of object.

This contradictory position which desires to liberate expression from a sociopolitical ideology of object transaction, layers its objectification, not through Duchampian aesthetic neutrality framed through authorship idea and object space function but through a desire of institutional originality upon pre-established idols.

Initially ready-mades were presented anonymously and signed with an alias. Under such circumstances the power of this initial expression could only last as a brief altercation within the acceptance of institution. Any further proposals would be subject to authorial identity. This objective failure has yet to yield the institution to the praxis of a media sensate. The systems object value needs authorship.

 If anonymous aliases become tags, their power as expressive act heed to an institutional glorification and not an institutional upheaval. Thus becoming merely object vandalism.

 Though object vandalism is protest, it’s perpetuation is notoriety.

A meta-notoriety function through erasure by appropriation.
