- The Pinocchio Theory >> Blog Archive >> Issue #1
Early-20th-century Dadaist stunts raised meta-questions about art, about what could be considered art, etc. But such meta-questions have long since been so well assimilated into our culture (both artistic culture and commercial culture) that they scarcely raise an eyebrow any longer.

Fantastically complicated machinery
New Documentary Media
New documentary mediaCoursework for Media Arts MA at Royal Holloway University of London. This site, my first, and created in 1998, was deleted by arch-fascists and ex-Freeserve ISP Wannadoo, so the only access I have to it is at the way back machine, which tends not to remember images, or, indeed all of the pages. sob. That'll learn me to rely on free isps.
The blurb I wrote at the time to describe the work was:
The brief was to produce a site which experimented with the non-linear opportunities offered by hypertexts; the work was heavily influenced by Italo Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveller.
The Buroughs cut technique
The beat poetry creator has moved to the Menticulture website
Burroughs is famous for using the cut technique in his writing - he would write his work on sheets of paper which he would cut into pieces and then reassemble. Apparently he even used to allow sheets to fall out while he was in progress, and place them back randomly and leave them where they sat for publication.
Anyway, this form will do the same to the text you type in. The script will produce the same effect as writing out your text on a sheet on paper, cutting it into four, and swapping the pieces around. It's a perl script which cuts up text into chunks and rearranges it into a Burroughs-style cut up.
Stuff it has come up with so far:
- I felt my presence in a care. But now it seems hard to your sight
- the whiteness lives, it is because our souls are of a swan
- all the beauty in the world all into infinity. It is lined with the truth
- To regain the beauty, you passed to me through blood, to a burning light.
