COP AESTHETICS [fr. esthétique du flic]

As the Emergency Artist goes through society as a cop.
As with blue-lights of pure receptivity, the artist assimilates a cop aesthetic.
As the cop, the emergency artist is no individual, but a function.
If the cop is a function in the state (monopoly of violence), the emergency art is a function of civil society.
The artist of today can be compared with a civil cop.
Irritating and annoying as a state employed cop, but entrusted with no monopoly of violence.
Entrusted, in fact, with no monopoly at all, not even of its own specific expertise.
Thus the artist of today wears no uniform.
We can’t see the blue light of artistic urgency.
The emergency artist is only armed with an artistic eye,
The emergency artist is armed with a visually trained consciousness, a reflective mind, and a reacting impulse.
All of which can be subsumed and activated as an awareness muscle.
In cop aesthetics we identify this function with the ophthalmotrop.
