Yes - I completely agree Marc.Nathan Jones has done a service with this review, 
although I'm not sure it's necessary to call Guattari , Deleuze and Berardi as 
expert witnesses but to simply look and see what a nasty little bit of bullying 
was going on here.Furthermore, the point for me is not whether the performance 
was a "success" or "failure" but that it seems, at the most generous, a 
category error to judge it in those terms -a bit like awarding points for the 
grace with which someone might "perform" kicking a homeless person.For me 
ethics trumps art. Sometimes that can be a complex and difficult thing to 
disentangle, but not here. Pass the sick bag.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for posting this review of yours on Netbehaviour. 

All I can say right now (but will likely say more) is, Wow! This work sounds 
not only tedious, but also decadent and shallow, and reliant on other people's 
conditions of not being able to fight back, against a privileged form of 
exploitation. Thanks Nathan - an article that needed to be written so the 
emptiness in the mainstream art world is challenged.

Wishing you well.

Definitely a project that gets the ethics/aesthetics equation very badly 
wrong.


"“money talks nonsense” and it is the cognitive labourer’s job to 
produce meaning-as-value from it" has legs.
