I know what you meant by that - although I thought it was Baudrillard. Regardless, the already been done attitude is just as unhealthy as the notion of progress. Sure, its already been done - but that doesn't mean it can't be done more. And I think Seinfeld is an indication of that. >the post had alot more to do with Clement Greenberg's ideals than >Baudrillard. I'm not familar with him, excuse me. >you think someone blowing thier steam with sex and drugs would leave >thier e-mail for "down-time". Easy there Hitler - I think you are misreading my last message as much as I misread yours. leaving for Nevada in 60 min., john z --- from list avant-garde-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- --- from list avant-garde-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
