Z-o-m-b-i-e-s 1 Full Movie Part 7
Valorie Carlee
Smith was not unique in his brief, sawtoothed trajectory from obscurity to renown, but in an industry that values image management more than any other, he set himself apart with his candor about his tussle with fame.
Smith himself attended the Cooper Union, which was still tuition free at the time of his graduation. But it is safe to say that his particular model of art making, which was facilitated by the rush of speculative collecting, was not lost on aspiring art stars across the country, the vast majority of whom did not have the privilege of attending a school like Cooper.
One obvious fix would be the relief of student loan debt. But I also believe the urgent need for new pathways in art, independent of the market, also provides a strong cultural argument for a Universal Basic Income (UBI), designed to cover the basic needs of every citizen, regardless of their income level or employment status.
But another, less cynical line of thinking, propagated by the journalist Paul Mason in his book Post-Capitalism: A Guide to Our Future (2015) and the academics Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams in their book Inventing the Future: Postcapitalism and a World Without Work (2015), is that when the robots come for our jobs, we are going to be afforded an opportunity to create a futuristic, quasi-utopian world without work, in which a UBI would play a vital role.
In an email, the prominent contemporary artist Josh Kline, who has vigorously advocated for the necessity of a UBI in his trenchant sculptural and video works, explained why he thinks the demand should resonate with artists:
By extension, it would seem that the lesson that Debt Aesthetics has to teach us about our contemporary situation, both in the art world and beyond, is this: Desperation does not breed innovation, nor good art. It breeds zombies.
Robinson intended the phrase as an aesthetic jab; it conjures mid-20th century paintings of the sort promoted by Clement Greenberg, slumping through the aisles of art fairs the world over. But others saw in the designation a reflection of the viral nature of the phenomenon, which for a handful of years boasted an alarming rate of infection among both newly minted MFA graduates and the rapacious class of collectors that inevitably trailed along behind them.
By early 2012, it seemed that Zombie Formalism, and the feeding frenzy around it, had altered the fabric of the art world. The reins of aesthetic power, which had for decades traded hands among critics, curators, and various moneyed interests, now belonged solely to the global collector class.
Zombie Formalism, in other words, was in this view a new kind of court painting, produced solely to flatter and enrich the titans of the new gilded age. The tail of the market, the critics feared, had begun to wag the dog of art.
For its part, the contemporary art market is built on artists, the epitome of evanescent, precarious work. Their labor produces investable artworks, but their education is its own kind of locus of speculation and investment: Many artists have accrued substantial debts attending the high-priced MFA programs that are seen as a requirement to secure teaching jobs and launch successful art careers. Debt, particularly student loan debt, plays a vital structural role in the system here.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the number of students who received an MFA in the visual and performing arts increased more than 50 percent between 2000 and 2014. In that same period, the cost of tuition at universities nationwide skyrocketed, with the average tuition at private universities increasing by nearly 50 percent as well. Factoring in room and board, students graduating a two-year MFA program in the last six years will have paid approximately $100,000.
Fusco taught at the MFA program at Columbia University during the art boom of the mid-2000s, when the program had a reputation as a white-hot incubator for future market stars. Over the phone, she told me that art-school students, flush with the optimism bred by an overheated market, had been led to believe that an MFA was a ticket to fame and riches, and many schools are not in the business of disabusing them of that notion.
If one half of the Zombie Formalism moment is pure speculation, this is the other. This situation Fusco outlines cannot help but color the entire environment of art and its reception, and thus affect what artists make or dream of making. It is not merely that, as the now-timeworn complaint goes, bohemian or countercultural values have been replaced by a new form of MFA-enabled academicism; it is that the figure of the artist-professional has been further displaced by that of the artist-debtor. Under the sign of debt, the future must meet the needs of a series of predictable, regularized payments. This reality thus favors art that is itself predictable, regularized, and produced in series.
Buildables are created by picking up parts around the map and assembling it at a worktable, workbench, blue print table, whatever you like to call it. The work table will look like a regular wooden work bench with a blue print above it. There will be more than one work bench on a map. This is because only a certain item can be built on that specific work bench. If you have parts to another item, you may have to find another workd bench.
If the player is downed or killed while carrying either a part or completed piece of equipment, it will drop wherever they went down. If a player wants to pick up a second buildable piece of equipment, they will drop the first item next to where they picked up the second item. If it was a weapon a player got rid of, it may appear once again in the Mystery Box.
The first piece of equipment that can be built is at the Bus Depot, the Turbine. The turbine uses a fan to create wind power. Drop these at several doors to open them, or use them with other buildables to power them. The Turbine can also be set next to a Perk-A-Cola Machine to buy a perk, but the perk will not be active until the power is turned on in the map.
The third item is the turret. This item can be built at the third stop, the Farm. The turret will automatically fire at any zombies in front of it. Unfortunately, this item will not work unless a Turbine is set next to it.
The fourth buildable is the power switch. This is the same old power switch that has been in many previous zombies maps. Turning on the power will release Him and turn on all Perk-A-Colas. This item is built in the power lab at the fourth stop.
The fifth buildable is an Electric Trap that injuries and kills zombies. To use it, a Turbine must be set down next to it. This item is built in the burned building next to the power lab at the fourth stop.
The Pack-A-Punch Machine can be built at the fifth stop inside the Bank. To access it, a player must use the turbine near the door at the beginning of the Power Lab (Fourth stop). A door will open in the bank's safe with all the parts.
Another buildable item is a special weapon. This weapon can only be built at the fifth stop in the bar. The weapon is called the Thrustodyne Aeronautics Model 23. It sucks in enemies and shreds them into pieces. After using it a few times, it will break. Only one can wield it.
Part of the Tower of Babble Easter Egg. It can be built up against the right side of the fence, under the electrical tower (or pylon, if you will) in the corn maze opposite Nacht Der Untoten. Currently, no Navcard works when you are given the option to insert the one you picked up behind Bus Depot.
Build all these parts on a workbench with a blue print above it. The bench will be located two floors below the starting area, near the B23R. You must take the Quick Revive or Speed Cola Elevator to reach this side of the room. This device lasts awhile, so just leave it on the ground and circle a horde over it every time it winds up.
The Sliquifier is a new buildable weapon in Die Rise. To create it you must gather four parts that are scattered throughout the second building (the building with the power switch). They are usually in or around the sewing room. The pieces are a grip, a circular device, a mannequin foot, and a small, red propane tank. Assemble them all on the workbench one floor beneath the sewing room.
The weapon will then be capable of spraying a purple liquid that can melt the zombies near it. The liquid will also make both zombies and players slip and slide all around. Be careful to avoid the zombies while sliding, they can still kill you.
The Workbench in the Cafeteria is used to build the Acidgat Kit. This allows players to convert the Blundergat into the Acidgat, unlocking the Acid Drip achievement / trophy. There are three parts that must be built on this specific table:
The workbench at the docks is the place to create the Zombie Shield. This is just like the assault shield in Multiplayer and the other Zombie Shield in TranZit. There are three parts needed to build this item:
Below are images of the parts for the Headchopper. It will slice any Zombies that come near it. The parts don't have true names, but they look like a big blade, a crank, a wooden platform of some sort, and a chain gear like a bicycle's pedal gear.
Below are images of the parts for the Subsurface Resonator. It will send a sonic boom that will kill any Zombies in front of it. Kill ten zombies with this equipment to unlock the Death From Below achievement / trophy. The parts don't have true names, but they look like a card playing table, a roulette wheel, a speaker, and a generator of some kind.
The farm, like the Diner has three areas you can enter. There is the house to the right, the barn to the left that is already open, and a small shed in between the two that you need the turbine to open. Most of the parts for the turret are usually in and around the house, but sometimes a part or two can be found in the barn on both the upper and lower level.
The lawn mower can be found either in the barn to the left when you first approach, usually in the center of it, or it can be found behind the house to the right of the area. Go towards the rear of the house using the left side and it can sometimes be found against the fence there.
