i thought this was a significant step forward for the likes of illop minded ilk.

taking art back.

unfortunately, i am too tired at the moment to read the manifesto all the way through, as i need to sleep soon…. i plan on copying it and pasting it to the site.

while their ideals may differ from our own on the way to deal with this kind of recuperation, its interesting to see the same influences at work in a different medium with different ideals. also, some influences that i did not personally know about.

however, we must note that this seems to be a much larger group than the base of illop.com… and as such it is easier for them to organize such events.

perhaps we should contact them?

…nah.

your cultural influence has expanded!
