The "Mickey Gas Mask" by Bill Barminski is just one piece out of an installation called Filter. Barminski uses the gas mask as a symbol of "filters". His work is concerned with the negative impact of mass marketing and consumerism.
"The filter is the act of self-censorship by the media that eliminates any message detrimental to commercial interests" - Bill Barminski, (Essay 1, 2001)
"Mickey Gas Mask" could be classified as an Altermodern work because it is a reflection of our culture. Barminski is dealing with the issues of communication and identity, two major components of the Altermodern theory.
