What the Soviet avant-garde of the twentieth century called productivism—the claim that art should enter production and the actory—could now be replaced by circulationism. Circu- lationism is not about the art of making an image, but of postproducing, launching, and accelerating it. It is about the public relations of images across social networks, about advertisement and alienation, and about being as suavely vacuous as possible.
