Mayo - More on texts: (un)intentional, Duchamp, & Cage. Post 9/19

I discovered the following three texts after Tuesday's praxis exercises.



The above image was taken from here.



You are listening to the sound of Marcel Duchamp reading some texts from à l'infintif, written 1912-20, read in New York 1967.

Below is Cage's original composition "4:33", of which we have referred to in class.



Both of these were found at UBUWEB, an incredible net archieve of multi-media works by pretty much every forward thinking person from the past 100 years or so. You can even listen to the lectures given by Roland Barthes during his first 2 years' teaching at the Collège de France in 1977 and 1978.

During the last class break, I had a exchange with a classmate about how difficult it is to talk about almost anything with someone that isn't familiar with the kind of material we cover in class. I wanted to share something that we can all "get" and provide resource for other works to connect us all outside of the classroom.

This would also confirm Rog's promise that we would never see the world in the same way again. Not too shabby after only five classes.
