B-MOVIES FOR THE MIND
This is a course I am teaching at the Parallel University (see http://web.me.com/sandysampson/Parallel_University/HOME.html ). To be enrolled, simply go there and sign up; but feel free to comment here as an "auditor." The main thrust of this course is conversation; a dialectic on the uses of art, its experience as lived everyday (outside of the signed precincts of “art”), and the proposal of some specific projects for public domain use; as the basis for discussion (responses welcomed); and for revision and rethinking. Any and all are free to put a project into practice; no credit is needed for this author. A project may be changed for use, or overwritten completely. It is wished that the concepts themselves will act as art, at the very least provoking thought if not discussion. Here then are the first few projects.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see who responds to such a call for information. And if they remember anything about the flight that we made up (or not), are they crazy, lying, remembering another occurance or are they remembering the actual failed space flight that we thought we made up, but was really covered up?
Now, the adjunct professor becomes a student of the parallel University
Or we could stop with the philosophy and just make the damn sculpture, which sounds like a good time even without tokens such as credits.

Alene,
Your rebellious nature is appreciated here at the Parallel University; we are looking for antiestablishment teachers. But we've already made the sculpture in our minds, we don't have to take hammer and pliers to metal necessarily...
What we know of history is pretty suspect, when you think of it. What is written/not written or read; who told the truth, didn't/didn't know?
Write a better history for a better future? Consider this course the spacecraft.
