How does one unscript politics?

I hold the opinion that the artists power comes from the ability to relate ideas through alternate means. The masses that can view an artistic work can take the satire, images, video, or any other art form and interpret meaning to match their own preconceived notions. This is powerful because most people may have a feeling or an idea but have no focus or momentum to it. The artist then is able to give people a direction and a side to take on issues. The opinion of the artist can be taken or ignored depending on the viewer and is able to be harmless but still effective. The power of the images used in my political campaign ad are able to elicit much more feeling from a viewer than just telling them that the educational system's financing needs reform.
In the end, the viewer can decide whether or not to internalize the views presented by artists. In Randall Packer's presentation on the fake government department, he is able to highlight many issues that have arisen through the delinquency of the current presidential leadership while still allowing the viewer to keep their own ideals and opinions handy. Randall Packer said, "The artist does not work in a vacuum" which highlights the fact that an artistic work of this sort needs context to take full effect, but can stand on its own. Within context the work will influence a view or present an opinion on a specific event or issue, but out of context it can retain its value as art.
