inches, miles and the marginal efforts in between





lasn says: every small part counts.

I have felt that the insignificant poisons the movement. the ugly scars the beautiful. the billboard fight is best fought with pieces that up the ante. but upping the ante ain't always pretty. have i been too elitist in my views? i think so.

we are all trapped in the spectacle. the situationists tried to free us. they fell apart. decades later, here we stand fighting the good fight with that which is moves, minds and souls alike. we cannot discriminate. an unbecoming public piece is a piece none the less, and a political act as any.

liberate in all shapes and forms, make a statement in all ways, great an small.


the past is now part of the future and the present is much out of hand.

break with tradition, because tradition withholds. free yourself from the status quo, and while your at it, liberate the street cars - littered with ads - and your neighbours polluted minds.

lasn makes points without explicitly acknowledging subjectivity, but these are meant to spark criticism, because the bullshit of the objective 'ads' and 'lobbyists' fall into the same traps, but hide it better. he is balls out because balls are what is necessary. the sooner we realize that conservatism is a choke hold and liberalism is a smoke screen, the better off we'll all be.
