Is discharge Dada? No, it is not. Influenced by and with a similar attitude to, but not Dada..
Is discharge Fluxus?
No, it is not.
Influenced by and with a similar attitude to, but not Fluxus.
Is discharge art for intellectuals? No, discharge is for anyone and everyone who appreciates creativity in all its myriad forms. Be it static visual, audio or moving image; the written word or the deconstructed, non-linear form. The spoken word and noise.
All creativity is the springboard for discharge. It highjack’s a multitude of genres and disciplines and transposes them onto the internet. discharge is electronically transmitted art, be it via blog, myspace or whatever format possible, it can also be produced and seen in classic formats.
The discharge Chapbook. The discharge Building by Parts book. discharge has no rules. All contributors to discharge are responsible adults. discharge has no leaders although it has an elected body of rotating editors who oversee rather than dictate the flow of the group.
The aim of discharge is to profile creative people and to do away with the pretension of the art world.
Everyday people creating art everyday to an exceptional quality.
Art by barrow boys and girls.
discharge is international.

I can't help myself, but it's so obvious that it has to be said: in your case you are the tool. In my case, I am a tool. I know this to be true simply because I'm prepared to post it in a public forum!
I am an idiot and refuse to apologise for being one.
Iryna...You aren't the idiot, the was Iggy!
Seriously, you are NOT a tool. In the UK a tool is a dick, a willy, a cock, a nobend, a prick, an erection. You are def NOt a tool.

In Australia, tool was used in the same way as in the UK until recently. The English language no longer resembles anything I learnt or the vernacular peculiar to the Australian version of the language.
I am surrounded by teenagers who can't form a sentence without a 'like', 'totally', 'and I was like', ad nauseum. Even the inflection is so Hollywood that I have difficulties following conversations.
As for the idiot, lol! Still my preferred version of 'China Girl'. Still, I use the term in the manner Mr. Pop used it: referencing Dostoevsky. I am truly an idiot. In fact, I refer to myself as the global village idiot. Someone has to do it. If I can serve the purpose of making others feel better about themselves by feeling superior to me then I've done my job.
Have you ever noticed that people who believe in reincarnation were Cleopatra or some important aristocrat in their past lives? Putting aside my disdain for any spiritual/theological bollocks, no one wants to have been the village idiot. Personally, I would have loved to have been the village idiot at some point across the entire globe.
Eat dirt and love it!
