HA HA HA! This made me laugh out loud!

TR: Precisely the problem with current recuperations of the SI is the
sanitizing of "poetics" into production of objects and thus reading the SI
through its artifacts. (There's a Jorn museum, BTW, in Silkeborg, where
you can arrange screenings of one of Debord's films, I can't remember
which one, and where a lot of SI stuff is archived. The Library of
Congress apparently has an impressive collection, too.)
