A SPAM COLLABORATION

library.jpg

I realized just now that this isn't all that far-fetched. This could easily exist, maybe in Chicago, maybe designed by Frank Gehry on a bad day. Scary, huh, that the machines might have started creating sensible thoughts? Can you imagine what it would be like if a machine were President? It would have performed unbiased evaluations of intelligence reports on Iraq; would have calculated without prejudice the pros and cons of waging war there? Would rationally consider the ramifications of cutting moneys for the feeding and educating of the poor? My God, what a nightmare!

This one took me by surprise! I know it's silly to *not* expect something from an artist but the last thing I thought I'd see among your beautiful sketch-thoughts is 'news from home'. What I'd not be surprised to see is that schools around here (ex-Yugo, that is) really are ethnically biased. My favourite island (Korcula) is tainted in my mind by knowing that in the 1990s a school director ordered all the library books in Cyrillic to be trashed. The kids reported this to the news, mind you, so there may be hope for the future yet.

If not Frank Gehry, then definitely Michael Graves (and probably on a good day)....
