[Warning in this litigious age: Humor ahead.]
Those of us with artistic sensibilities often find it a challenge to communicate (and commune with) our revolutionary artistic credos using totally inadequate bourgeois concepts. So my comrade in arms, George Plumley, sent me a very helpful link: The Market-O-Matic (1.0) [fine arts version].
The results are in. Even my name has been transformed to trans-communicate my meta-manifesto:
Work of Meta-Art in the Age of Generative Reproduction
The flux creates, the empire permeates. In the synoptic space, art objects are deprecations of the iterations of the flux — a flux that uses the empire as a parallax to deconstruct ideas, patterns, and emotions. With the devolution of the electronic environment, the flux is conceiving a point where it will be free from the empire to transcend immersions into the parameters of the delphic space. Work of Meta-Art in the Age of Generative Reproduction contains 10 minimal dhtml engines (also refered to as “memes”) that enable the user to make ontological audio/visual compositions.

I feel affirmed. You too may try.

This clarifies a lot. What a time saver. As I long suspected, with humans or computers, GIGO. If I had only known the method, I would have seen there was no point in trying to wring meaning out of sundry articles and commentators. Now exposed, it should have been obvious all along. Now I can be an intellectual, too. It’s all technique, not substance. Brilliant.
