«culture is not your friend. It insults you. It uses and abuses you. None of us are treated well by culture. The cultura is a perversion. It fetishizes objects. Endless forms of false happiness....It dehumanizes ourselves into meme processors..By creating art. By putting the art petal to the metal, we really maximize our humanism and become much more necessary and incomprehensible to the machines.»
«Since in any situation 10 percent of the events cause 90 percent, we ignore the 10 percent and are stunned by the 90 percent. Without an anti-environment, all environments are invisible. The role of the artist is to create anti-environments as means of perception and adjustment. Hamlet's sleuth technique for coping with the hidden environment around him was that of an artist: 'As I perchance hereafter shall think meet to put on anti disposition on . . .»
«The criminal like the artist is a social explorer.»

"You see, any user can change any entry, and if enough other users agree with them, it becomes true. ... If only the entire body of human knowledge worked this way. And it can, thanks to tonight's word: Wikiality. Now, folks, I'm no fan of reality, and I'm no fan of encyclopedias. I've said it before. Who is Britannica to tell me that George Washington had slaves? If I want to say he didn't, that's my right. And now, thanks to Wikipedia, it's also a fact. |

Sous les pavés, la plage !

L'art est mort, ne consommez pas son cadavre.

sous les pavés, la plage, bi-atchLand Grid Tag Fun Run
Robin Willis, 17 Apr 2007 @ 07:22
A breif description Equipment
Grid section from NY aprox. 4x8 blocks Rules
Each team starts in opposite corners if the chosen field
With the tape, players attempt to tag as many intersections as possible. A person can only tag one corner of each intersection. In order for a team to gain complete control of a corner, three independent team members must tag three corners of an intersection. One point is awarded to the team in control of the intersection. The team with the most points wins. If there is a tie on the intersection. Ie no one holds a majority of markers on the intersection, no team is awarded a point. If a member of a different team approaches an intersection which they have no possibility of winning for their own team, that member is out and must return to the center and hopefully cry. When the time limit is over all the groups meet back in the center and go through the grid taking down the tape and recording the information. |
