Our threads are the ashes of our art
From Eluminatus
"our threads are the ashes of our art"
-- me, after Yves Klein
to a collaborator on a shared work of art
January 2007
On discussion forums (whether of the classic BBS, Usenet, and VAX Notes varieties -- or the more snazzy and 21st-century blogs and social networks), sometimes threads and sequences of threads turn into collaborative performances. The static representation remains after the fact ... but like Yves Klein's paintings, it's only the remnants of the art.
