Greetings Gary,
Now that we've got your attention, let us introduce Ourselves. We're a Guerrilla Web Arts Collective that, well, as you've seen, takes on identities of bloggers like yourself, in order to further the Open Space of the Web. Perhaps the following quote will make things clearer:
Sound familiar? It should, we KNOW that you're familiar with Of Grammatology, that you're a Grad student at CUNY and that you, how should we put it, perfectly fit, the profile of the kind of person we're looking for. We would like you to join us.
Don't be shocked or surprised that we know so much about you. We should be upfront about how we got to know you. Remember when your G4 crashed a few months ago and you brought it to the Apple Store in SoHo for repairs? Well, let's just say that some of the people who work there, have skills that we require as well. You got your Hardisk repaired and we got a lot of information about you. And we've been monitoring your activities for the past several months and we've finally decided to extend this invitation for you to join us.
What actually sealed it was when you uploaded those images of your Notebook onto PhotoBucket. What kind of queer mind does that? We were waiting to see if you'd do anything with them -- they were just sitting there -- so we decided to make the first move. We gather that the posts were strange enough to garner some reaction and caused you to look back at this Blog. We could have just e-mailed or even called you -- but we suspect that the "shock" value of seeing someone take on what is intimately yours, would be much more effective.
We know your Reading Habits -- if you do actually read all those books you buy and check out from the Libraries. We know you recently purchased "No Gods No Masters", which is pretty much standard reading fare for us; that you bought a whole batch of SciFi second hands, which would make the persona we adopted while hacking into your Blog uncannily recognizable; that you also have Delany's Triton, which would make the idea of a Guerilla Arts Collective certainly one that you've encountered. We suspect that you've entertained the idea yourself. But we know you're a bit of recluse, too. Well -- the Web's the place to make those Connections!
Your reply in the last post, demonstrates the kind of narcissitic hubris that we just Love to have for our Cause. Couldn't resist making a public display of your frustration could you? The image and frank admission that you're essentially an intellectual flake was nice too. Anyway, get back to us about whether you're joining us, right? The Blog's a nice place to say it all. I see that We've got an "appreciative" audience!
And in the Spirit of trading Images,
Join us and get Rid of those Fascist impulses!
Now that we've got your attention, let us introduce Ourselves. We're a Guerrilla Web Arts Collective that, well, as you've seen, takes on identities of bloggers like yourself, in order to further the Open Space of the Web. Perhaps the following quote will make things clearer:
Operating neccesarily from the inside, borrowing all the strategic and economic resources of subversion from the old structure, borrowing them structurally, that is to say without being able to isolate their elements and atoms, the enterprise of deconstruction always in a certain way falls prey to its own work.
