Mag. Viktor Bernik je vizualni umetnik. Študiral je slikarstvo na ALUO, kjer je opravil magisterij in kasneje pridobil naziv docenta. Njegova umetniška praksa je izrazito heterogena in medijsko raznorodna, ena izmed stalnic je raziskovanje razmerja med umetnostjo in (družbeno) realnostjo. Leta 2012 je zasnoval in od takrat vodi umetniško platformo za produkcijo, promocijo in distribucijo umetnosti Made in China. Od leta 2016 skupaj z Žigo Karižem in Jaro Vogrič vodi artist-run space za umetnost v Ljubljani, GalerijaGallery.

Piero Manzoni produced ninety cans of Artist's Shit.
The Merda d'artista... was the perfect metaphor for the bodied and disembodied nature of artistic labour: the work of art as fully incorporated raw material, and its violent expulsion as commodity.
"Manzoni understood the creative act as part of the o/cle of consumption: as a constant reprocessing, packaging, marketing, consuming, reprocessing, packaging, marketing, consuming ad infinitum."

In times in which financial institutions and even wtiote political entities may just dissolve into fluffy glitter, investment « art seems somehow more rea Moreover, as an alternative currency, art seems to fulfill what ether and bitaom have hitherto only promised. Rather than money issued by a nation and administrated by central banks, art is a networked, decentralized, widespread system of value. ft gains stability because it calibrates credit or disgrace across competing institutions or cliques. Ttvere are markets, collectors, museums, publications, and the academy asynchronously registering lot mostly failing to do so) exhibitions, scandals, likes, and prices. As with cryptocurrencies, there is no central institution to guarantee value; instead there ¡s a jumble of sponsors, censors, bloggers. developers, producers, hipsters, handlers, patrons, privateers, collectors, and way more confusing haracters. Value arises from gossip-cum-spin and insider information. Taudsters and con artists mix heHer-skeiter with pontificating professors, ' M1S gallensts. and couch-surfing students. This informal ecology is minently hackable, but since everyone does it, it sometimes evens QMl_even though at highly manipulated levels.

The something produced by the signifier, in addition to wh produces as its field, curves or magnetizes this field in a certain way. It is responsible for the fact that the symbolic field, or the field of the Other, is never neutral (or structured ty pure differentality), but conflictual, asymmetrical, "not all," ridden by a fundamental antagonism. In other words the antagonism of the discursive field is not due to the ^aUhis field is always "composed" of multiple eterrjem/ «multiple multiples, competing among themselves ana not pwsperfy unified; it refers to the very space in whicMhese different multiples exist.
