I don’t<BR/>see any point in making anything but controversial statements.<BR/>There is no other way of getting attention at all. I mean you cannot<BR/>get people thinking until you say something that really shocks<BR/>them; dislocates them. That is the way the arts work; the painters,<BR/>the poets, all work like that. They work by dislocation of attention.<BR/>That is why new styles are necessary for perception. The function of arts is training in perception. It is not instruction. It is to train your ability to see and use your senses.quantum retrocausalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356824142105136007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459763654006375392.post-71717784153425362642008-12-10T20:19:00.000-06:002008-12-10T20:19:00.000-06:00“If man by his ingenious extensionscreates new dim...“If man by his ingenious extensions<BR/>creates new dimensions and new environments he also has another creative power for making himself aware of these new forms and giving himself cognizance of their effects. This is the power of art. If technology creates environments that brainwash man, art creates anti-environments that heighten consciousness. Presumably this is why the artist appears as anti-social – because he is creating awareness in place of adjustment – for adjustment is brainwashing,” <BR/><BR/>(McLuhan, review of Cyborg: Evolution of the Superman, by D.

For McLuhan such works present dramatic cross-sections of the actual process of communication in the production of knowledge and of the means by which distorted communication impedes that process.quantum retrocausalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356824142105136007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459763654006375392.post-80469762501598590102008-08-19T10:52:00.000-05:002008-08-19T10:52:00.000-05:00FW003 http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-3.htm (thunde...FW003 http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-3.htm (thunder):<BR/>bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk<BR/> <BR/>FW023 http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-23.htm (thunder):<BR/>Perkodhuskurunbarggruauyagokgorlayorgromgremmitghundhurthrumathunaradidillifaititillibumullunukkunun<BR/> <BR/>FW044 http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-44.htm (clap):<BR/>klikkaklakkaklaskaklopatzklatschabattacreppycrottygraddaghsemmihsammihnouithappluddyappladdypkonpkot<BR/> <BR/>FW090 http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-90.htm (whore):<BR/>Bladyughfoulmoecklenburgwhurawhorascortastrumpapornanennykocksapastippatappatupperstrippuckputtanach<BR/> <BR/>FW113 http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-113.htm<BR/>Thingcrooklyexineverypasturesixdixlikencehimaroundhersthemaggerbykinkinkankanwithdownmindlookingated<BR/> <BR/>FW257 http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-257.htm (shut the door):<BR/>Lukkedoerendunandurraskewdylooshoofermoyportertooryzooysphalnabortansporthaokansakroidverjkapakkapuk<BR/> <BR/>FW314 http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-314.htm<BR/>Bothallchoractorschumminaroundgansumuminarumdrumstrumtruminahumptadumpwaultopoofoolooderamaunsturnup<BR/> <BR/>FW332: http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-332.htm<BR/>Pappappapparrassannuaragheallachnatullaghmonganmacmacmacwhackfalltherdebblenonthedubblandaddydoodled<BR/> <BR/>FW414 http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-414.htm (cough):<BR/>husstenhasstencaffincoffintussemtossemdamandamnacosaghcusaghhobixhatouxpeswchbechoscashlcarcarcaract<BR/> <BR/>FW424 http://www.trentu.ca/jjoyce/fw-424.htm (Norse gods):<BR/>Ullhodturdenweirmudgaardgringnirurdrmolnirfenrirlukkilokkibaugimandodrrerinsurtkrinmgernrackinarockarquantum retrocausalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356824142105136007noreply@blogger.com
