This is a collage piece that began as a backdrop to a few live shows I did in 2001, premiering in Newcastle, Australia at the This Is Not Art festival. Afterward I edited it down, layered on live audio from performances I did in 1999 and 2001, and the on-screen text is from the original Detritus manifesto that I wrote in 1995. In light of the recent SOPA and PIPA intellectual property oppression, the ideas here seem worth yet another look. for more information on these ideas, see detritus.net
