agreed, obsolescence is an odd thing and the category itself seems driven
by market forces drven by competing corporate entities etc. etc. by that

We've worked in WV and you'll find stuff in the hollers some
theorist would call obsolete even though it's probably more a part
of a lived vibrant culture than anything she or he can come up
with. Likewise there's no "Internet time" cool as it sounds. Screw
that. Temporality and internal time consciousness don't work that
way.
Which I agree with.
I am saying that there's also nothing too *new* to make art with *if*
it's appropriate to do so.
