we be capitalists. originality and patents, like authorship and royalties,
impose a value. who authorizes what is original? I mean,
the minute we seek it, it goes away from us - oh that's so funny.
I studied Heidi-gar for a few years, more than a few, and remember
working through Parmenides & Aristolte in the original Greek
(wotta fuckin' NERD)
cause the translators were all saying different things about the
same poem - so, in actual fact, I have to pull Parmenides outta the
originality pool cause from what I have learned, no one actually knows for
sure WHAT he said,
just like no one knows for sure what stories Homer spun cause
by the time they reached text it was some 300 yrs later -
so NOW what?
originality is everywhere always. it depends on what you think it involves
or means and I suppose coming from an artist perspective I see it as
relations, drawing new relations into different positions,
and seeing what that is there that just got connected.
a lot of it has to do with belief - and not believing, really,
in anything for sure, so then you are constantly receptive to
other possibilities.
I mean, I think that is first. Anarchic thinking.
