Gutterland JargonWatch™: "Concept-Machine" Edition Friday, April 14, 2006
A dramatic synthesis envisioned and executed by the Center's two founders, Dean Lukic and Jason Mohaghegh, "THE NEW WEAPON" is a veritable chaos-poem that sets words and images—no less than existence itself—on fire.One would be right to wonder who could possibly come up with something so veritably existence-questioning itself. One would be right to ask. And one would be right to read on for what could (veritably) constitute on answer. The Center for Broken Thought is a concept-machine whose purpose is to proliferate and produce ideas that are visceral and sharp. By initiating a movement called "The Breaking," the Center for Broken Thought emerged in September 2005 at Columbia University with the urgency to innovate concepts and modes of experience that emanate force and desire.How very necessary. · Events of Broken Thought [Broken Thought] Reader Comments (6 extant) 1. “We are oblivious and indifferent to those who can’t find themselves somewhere within this. We provide such a multiplicity of existential possibilities,” Mohaghegh said. “The ones who come and say this has nothing to offer me ... for us, they are condemned, they are lost.” good grief. somebody sew their fingers together so they can pick up a hammer or a shovel, and do something useful with their fishy little lives By the admonisher at April 14, 2006 4:03 PM2. craptastic!

"The center for Broken Thought is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit-corporation, which means that all contributions are tax-deductable… If you are inclined to support our factory of concepts on any level, or want to discuss mutual benefits, please contact us" “We want to diverge as a new species”- Dean Lukic This raises the agreeable possibility of paying them to all go live off in a compound in the desert somewhere where they can inbreed until they are their own species... provided they can find someone to deliver decent chai and hummus for 8 generations. 4.

6. here here! i love how people continually whine how "art is dead," yet when something new and provocative finally comes along, they never actually realize it and call it pretentious instead. (but what can you expect from someone who calls himself "the admonisher"? daddy figure indeed!) frankly, i'm open to any form of literature/visual art that goes beyond "bush = bad" these days. no shit sherlock, how about something new? anyway, i thought the website was fab.
