"... but O, Mr.
Cotter, sometimes, yes, need to shout!
Not to you, for you hear, O, so,
Well!"
~ Twittering
"It's about staying alert,
Keeping a conversation on track
And bringing in many voices.
It is not primarily about raising fists.
It's about extracting things from the world,
Gently, and then putting them back,
But with new meaning, like manipulated ready-mades.
Duchamp had a really good grasp of all this,
And he's still broadcasting.
Mr. Tiravanija, in his own different way,
Understands it, too.
Join this wire of mine
To that wire of yours to that wire of theirs.
And once we're connected,
The power goes on."
