When Bert Brecht said that, "Art is not a Mirror with which to reflect the World. It is a Hammer with which to shape it", i agree with it in a way because the mirror can be a hammer we always seems to shape our world in certain way of how we want it to be. Just like in the book Feed they shape the world revolving around it. The Feed i believe is like this device in the people's head who tells them what to do and how to live, etc. In the real world i think the Feed is what we listen to on television and the digital media we use these days but not all the time the way it is portrayed in the book.
When it comes to me being the mirror or the hammer, i do not want to be. If i were the mirror would not want someone to shape into any way of form and then if i were the hammer i would want shape someone else. So i do believe its not art because either way you are not expressing yourself freely but how people want to precieve you or make you.
