“What if we understand material and things not just as objects but as driving actors in our daily intimacies? Commodities were always playing an important role in the arts – they became art through the artist’s ability to define them as such. But what if we don’t make a division between commodities and art-pieces anymore? Further than its use-value and exchange value „the commodity is the thing that always feels at home. (…) It is first and foremost a presence“ (Joshua Simon). Facing this our whole society becomes not just one of human beings but n endless network between subjects and objects in a fluid way, which also undergoes continuously a variety of state changes.” – W139
