Dadaist influence
“Writings were a barrage of words melded together towards a humorous, yet shocking type of approach towards the reader.” – Allon Schemool
John Maeda Quote
The best art makes your head spin with questions. Perhaps this is the fundamental distinction between pure art and pure design. While great art makes you wonder, great design makes things clear.
A passage from The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda.
This passage is appropriate towards the type of interaction I’m attempting to achieve.

Exquisitext progress – day 1
Board installed on the 9th floor bathroom 2 west 13th street. February 19 (near midnight).
An analog experiment of “Exquisitext”. Exquisitext is an experiment to seek what content is generated through syntactic rules and structures from Exquisite Corpse poetry. The order of response is Adjective, Noun, Verb, Adjective, Noun. The experiment observes the text content in a place where a person can tag anonymously. In this case it is the bathroom. The following process involves a technique to create a play on words by selective text in order to create new meaning. An example could be created through the combination of the last two words of each phrase. More ideas will generate as the prototype is further experimented!
