The University of Aesthematics
Aesthematicians devote themselves to the trinity of Technique, Appearance and Product.
Art informs and is informed by technique, specifically, techniques of producing meaning. Techniques: painting, discourse about experts, signatures, neighborhood appropriation and gentrification, museums, fashion, workplace art, drawing, anti-art, multimedia, "rediscovering" the body, depoliticization, illegality, personality, ambivalence.
As a factory of meaning, art is continually (re)equipped with the finest machines and the brightest managers. When new technology is released, art slots it in next to last year's model and turns it on. The managers optimize it to run at maximum efficiency.

Package From The Insane
Added by Icky Bob March 29th 2006 @ 12:26 pmAcquire the mailing address of a stranger (or friend) and send them a package (anonymously) seemingly packed by the insane.
PLEASE, do not make it mean, dangerous or insulting.
Example: take a cardboard box and write obscure mathematical equations or quotes of nonsense. Draw STRANGE pictures or just a single word with great emphasis (FUR).
Pack it with useless detritus meticulously combined. (Small wooden dowels glued to packets of taco sauce powder with a foreign dignitaries face affixed over the ingredients label).
A folded and sealed packet of small clothing (a tie, underwear).
