FLIERS HAVE BEEN DISTRO'D!



Battle Hymn of Pittsburgh

For The Glory of the City he is coming to our aid
His eyes aflame with prophecy his words to be obeyed
And those who are not cleansed by him by fire shall be slayed
Thus doth Carnegie live.

Glory glory to Carnegie
Glory glory to Carnegie
Glory glory to Carnegie
Thus doth Carnegie live.

Andrew Mellon a founder is, a father and a priest
He built in hills and in rivers, the work has never ceased.
The golden age of steel, his, must ever be increased.
Thus doth Carnegie Live

Chorus

Good Henry Frick the cyclops who is pretty Martha's sire
Shall fall with wings of steam upon the insects in the mire.
And cleanse their brains and bodies with the holy blade of fire
Thus doth Carnegie live

Chorus

In chains of sin 'neath rivers three our steely god remains
His maid of foot dear Martha Frick doth soothe the burning brains
And turn our eyes towards the glory of future Steely saints
Thus doth Carnegie live.

Chorus

And Westinghouse who stopped the trains doth lend his hand to fight
A machine he builds for Carnegie to light harmonic night
And powers it with spawn of those who do the City blight
Thus doth Carnegie live.

Chorus

His time is nigh, the city waits with anticipation
For winter and the iron cold that clouds and snow summon
And from confluence of rivers three will rise the Holy One
Thus doth Carnegie live.

Chorus

Thus doth Carnegie live.

There are those among us who believe that men CAN become gods, and that a hundred and twenty years ago men did just that. Those who believe that Andrew Carnegie lies trapped under the confluence of Pittsburgh's three rivers, a seventy foot tall steel statue bound in chains forged of the city's sins. That he has four entities bound to him: Andrew Mellon, the banking magnate; Henry Clay Frick, the coke and steel baron; George Westinghouse, the inventer of AC power, the Pneumatic Air Brake, etc; and Martha Frick, Henry's young daughter who died when she was very young; all four now infused with elemental power- Earth, Fire, Air, and Water respectively.

Across many media the unfolding Prophecy of Carnegie is being told. Key to it is a distributed text across 160 fliers that will eventually be distributed across the city of Pittsburgh.

The TASK-specific piece of the operation comes in when I made very small, cut up versions of the fliers.

I distributed them all over town, and across two college campuses.
