Summary/Abstract: Kitsch is most commonly defined as a "surrogate of aesthetic values", as "unrefined" art, as art that was "hastily done".

So kitsch would generally represente a term, or it would symbolize each false value, whether it is about science, politics, morality and art. In the aesthetics of information, as we have already said, kitsch is defined as the creation of the 'closed form " opposed to avant-garde as radical " open structure“.
