Schutz and Shulgin

A note in response to comments on commodities and communication.

Pit and Alexei have made great statements. Things that stand between
people as blockages are:

1. commodities (relationships posing as things)
2. institutions (things posing as relationships, e.g. art)

Things that are more fundamental than these, which are fundamentally ...

re:Art Power and Communication

Reading the contribution of Alexei Shulgin about the subject: "Art,
Power and Communication" I cannot remain silent, just thinking he is

before you became well-known in your sphere and before the movement you
are in starts to create its ...

and thus as sort of list of directions for visual representation."

My response to the alt.youth.media exhibit

For me youth culture means immediate expression or using media which
require little technical know how and allow a minimal budget. Maybe
that's why the fanzines are so numerous (more than 120!), engaging and
convincing.

E-zines already require more technology (=money) and more know how, but
still allow informal expression ...
