Re: <nettime> I farted


I give the Guggenheim some credit, though the Cattelano is a cynical piece of crap anyway. The ironies there are instructive. Where is a more fitting home for it than in the bathroom of a racist who is obsessed with gold?

And if both analogies are correct, then farting in the Fueher’s face is not an opportunity to be missed. It’s on his level.
