making and taking Walks as art form

Francis ALYS, Nick BROWN, Situationists, and others. What do we learn from a walk? How can that be translated into aesthetics? Media? How can it be shared?

fictional Identity: Lynn HERSHMAN

Lynn HERSHMAN constructed an alternate personality as an ongoing project. "ROBERTA BREITMORE was, for 9 years a private performance of a simulated person. In an era or alternatives, she became an objectified alternative personality. Roberta's first live action was to place an ad in a local newspaper advertising for a roommate. People who answered the ad became participants in her adventure . As she became part of their reality, they became part of her fiction."

Minerva Cuevas

Cuevas produces a number of products that she sells and gives away through a fake corporation she created called La Mejor Vida Corp. (The Better Life).

Busy Work

Busywork
9:17 a.m.: Monday morning at Cretin/Croak Management. Peel and eat an orange as slowly as possible. Time is a syrup and I Am the Fly. It's the beginning of the month, the time when my beloved co-worker Steve enters dividends onto "The System" and completes other mysterious prep work for the month ahead. This takes about four days. The rest of us, who balance rich folks' accounts each month, can't do anything until the preliminaries are taken care of. My pet peeve (one among many) is that we are supposed to look busy during this time period, or else suffer the fate of a dreaded "down-time" assignment, such as revamping the filing system or cleaning the coffee machine. In kindergarten, this used to be called "busywork," and was designed to fill any remaining time at the end of the day. Busywork means easy, repetitive tasks that don't require any thought. My normal duties (I call them "Administrivia") are a microstep up from busywork, and I dreaded the idea of doing something even more boring. ... more.... from PROCESSED WORLD
