Luke Turner cries antisemitism

That's him on the right.

Below is a parody written by Benjamin H. Bratton of the work of Luke Turner, one of the "artists" collaborating with Shia LaBeouf. Turner recognized himself and claims that it's an "unambiguously antisemitic attack" on him. I really don't see it. Judge for yourself:

British artist Mark Booker announced that his ongoing performance piece “to be the most twee, unlikable, self-congratulatory, politically-adolescent Art Brat imaginable” would come to a close. He posted that the work meant to demonstrate “basically the worst aspects of MFA psychosis plus Targeted Individual Syndrome.” Booker’s performance was based on Joaquin Phoenix’s I’m Still Here, in which the actor pretended to make a dramatic career change, have a mental breakdown, and involved unsuspecting entertainment media into the hoax.

For Booker, the initial gesture was to establish a fictitious art collective with Dustin Diamond, the actor who played “Screech” on the’90s TV show, Saved By The Bell, whose own works as independent artist include publicly watching every single episode of the show consecutively and “getting arrested” in Atlanta, Georgia while berating the officers with drunken racist abuse.

Booker and his accomplices utilized art world media channels and social media platforms to coordinate the release of several interconnected works: installations with stereotypical anti-Trump slogans, slapstick parodies of relational aesthetics, dramatic “call outs” of various antagonists to his virtual persona, and a robotic series of tweets about the virtues of “sincerity.” Some of the work was accepted into the Cyprus Triennial, but Booker refused to participate and launched an open-ended protest against the curators. Unbeknownst to Booker, his gallery arranged to have some of the work “stolen” to generate secondary publicity.

Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the performance was Booker’s efforts to close Twitter accounts of those who criticized the work or questioned his intentions. He formally ended the performance when Twitter suspended his own account after he re-posted alt-right memes under the heading, “Some call these memes harmless. Zero tolerance,” along with his comments that any portrayal whatsoever of such images is equivalent to direct endorsement of their content and effects.

I guess there's been some exchange between Bratton and Turner on Twitter. I didn't read much of it, but Bratton finally responded:

Luke, seriously, you should talk to someone who u trust & admire, who can sit u down and tell u, respectfully & honestly, that what you're doing is not what you imagine it to be. Not gaslighting; reality check. That person is not me cause I don't know you. Not engaging further.
