Appropriation & Transformation

"Revolution must of necessity borrow, from what it wants to destroy, the very image of what it wants to possess." – Roland Barthes

We are countering the disinformation and propaganda of the Republican party with our own techniques of media and illusion. Why would we do this? To strip off the mask, to reveal what lies hidden beneath the lies. We are borrowing from their techniques, we are appropriating their tactics, we are mimicking their assertions, in order underscore the power of spin and the danger of disinformation.

It is our hope that through the power of illusion, we can neutralize the manipulative nature of political power run amuk, render it useless and absurd. This is what needs to be done during the Republican National Convention, a terrifying exploitation of those who died in 9/11.
