Artistic manipulation refers to the exploitation, control, or coercion of artists by industry gatekeepers, collaborators, or systems of power that prioritize profit and influence over creative integrity and artist wellbeing.
In the Psycheverse
Psyche examines artistic manipulation as a spiritual and material crisis, analyzing how fame, ego, and industry structures corrupt artists' intentions and fragment their consciousness. The show treats controversial figures like Kanye West as case studies in possession, delusion, and the dark bargains artists make when they sacrifice authenticity for power.
