Our mission is to co-create extraordinary art that connects with contemporary audiences providing innovative, engaging and inclusive digital and physical spaces for appreciating and participating in practices in art, technology and social change. As well as finding alternative ways around already dominating hegemonies, thus claiming for ourselves and our peer networks a culturally aware and critical dialogue beyond traditional hierarchical behaviours. Influenced by situationist theory, fluxus, free and open source culture, and processes of self-education and peer learning, in an art, activist and community context.

Crime


BlankCrime

American jails are stuffed to the gills, with the wait for law libraries and
weight lifting gyms approaching 45 minutes in some prisons. But
the Silly Party has a solution to EMPTY OUR PRISONS of dangerous felons!
Having done exhaustive research consisting of thumbing
through an almanac while sitting on the john, members of the Silly Party
Think Tank have located a perfect repository for America's least
wanted. It's Kerguelen, a remote island in the southern Indian Ocean.
Scarcely inhabited but nearly as large as the island of Hawaii, its
rocky, windswept, but unfrozen shores will greet repeat offenders deemed too
noxious to ever return to America's streets. (While the island
is, technically, owned by the French, they could likely be persuaded to part
with it in return for, say, the removal of Euro Disney).

Re: housewife


I'm an old housewife,
In dependency,
Upon my children,
No longer grateful,
(much too rare indeed),
of the life I gave,
for selfish motives.
My husband depends
Upon religious
chastity new found;
As I become A
(Not the) devoted nun.
