MC How do you define revolution?
DJ I like the answer someone gave about pornography: �I don�t need to define it; I know it when I see it.�
DJ Isn�t it funny how in order to move closer towards a non-hierarchical �world without objects� we still need to have the experience of the object first? Image making, consuming and sharing as individuals made us all instant partners in a broader creative act. Yet there are still only a few who can make this feel like more than patty repetition.
DJ The pain-pleasure principle, suicidal desire, Catholic upbringing, all that?
DJ I get a little uneasy when you say these things and look around my living room.
MC Not to worry. We will recreate object-kind after the deluge, and instead of rocks, we will throw those Libidarch Group Argine chairs behind us.

A day after the construction someone has destroyed it
At the same day he reconstructed
Three days later the construction was destroyed again
..., than he lighted some candles
I did not realise what had happened till aftermath

SEVENTH PICTURE
�...he is probably born on Tigris bank � a hot summer day around siesta time�and he was born standing. The midwife said that this brought a lot of luck, and he can�t complain, really. He was trained in the Netherlands and may have travelled in Italy. He went to England in the recent years and he isn�t employed by Charles Ι; neither as a painter nor as a poet.
