July 7, 2003 YGCOPPMMM
The inspiration for American
artist Amy Alexander's new work PPMMM is the nefarious workings of the
Bush administration. Alexander contends that the government has pilfered
the popular 'exquisite corpse' magnet poetry sets -- consisting of dozens
of magnetized words ready to be creatively configured -- that usually
adorn refrigerators. Alexander's smoking gun: the USA PATRIOT Act, which
officially stands for 'Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.'
Considering the acronym an insult to the magnets, Alexander has programmed
a desktop version of word-magnet-poetry. PPMMM, or the Post-PATRIOT
Magnetic Motto Maker, an application for home-sloganeering and
motto-making is available for both Macs and PCs. The artist also
recommends sending your slogans to Washington, but considering the reach
and force of the Patriot Act, we suggest users proceed with caution. --
