Re: Shelley Jackson's SKIN project
Fri, October 24, 2003 - 7:10 AMI think it's cool, although that would suck if your word was "the" or "stupid."
At least it would be interesting to explain to someone why you have the word "preposterous" tattooed on your shoulder. -

Re: Shelley Jackson's SKIN project
Sat, October 25, 2003 - 1:21 PMI can't decide if I want to sign up or not. I keep vacillating on this issue. On the one hand I love words, and I love experimental and participatory art. On the other hand I don't know if I want to be known as a "word" and I don't know how comfortable I am with being permanently branded with someone else's idea of art. -

As a result, injuries to the printed texts, such as dermabrasion, laser surgery, tattoo cover work or the loss of body parts, will not be considered to alter the work. Only the death of words effaces them from the text. As words die the story will change; when the last word dies the story will also have died. The author will make every effort to attend the funerals of her words. "</i>
