Disinterested play in thought = freudian disinterest not completely invested in the topic, no interest, relinquishing control. Paranoiac-critical method (i. e. ants on sticky surface) Seeing face will forever change the meaning of an image. Much different from past artists, no longer needing a historical context/background in order to understand art need your own analysis and perception, finding your own connections. Placing two components together that normally shouldn"t be. Meret oppenheim, fur-lined teacup (luncheon in fur), 1936. Things that you are not aware of but is already there. Man ray, photograph of marcel duchamp as rrose selavy, 1921. Arms are not his own, using a woman"s hands.
