Slog - Comments on The Attributes of Philosophy http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/the_attributes_of_philosophy The sun, Alain Badiou, and a bird. The one, the man, the life. The absolute, the thought, the being. Philosophy says almost nothing else than what is in this image....

It's funny, I was thinking about Badiou's "disaster of the unlimited", and I think it might plug even better into certain overindulgences on the internets - like this here blog! hmmm...

I was expecting to find some SLOGging on Guillermo Habacuc Vargas today, judging by the internet fury surrounding him.

Anyone know if it's true? Charles would be the man to report it.

Ugh. Makes me want to pour a drink and read Derrida.

Apparently, he recently had an exhibition in which he displayed a live, starving dog, tied in the gallery, as his installation. He prevented anyone from feeding it, and sadly no one intervened; needless to say, the dog died... I assume horribly.

Obfuscation does not prove that there is meaning to obfuscate. You can encrypt white noise, but it's still white noise.

How do you do that on-line? Because this post demands that simulated masturbation.

Unfortunately, I only know of all this through and online petition/chain mail I received, so I'm naturally skeptical these events are real. ("The [insert evil company] animal testing lab is closing, send this to everyone you know, we must adopt these beagles!" bullshit is the last one I got.)

The artist I do know actually exist, and I do know he makes pretentious, douchee art. I wish someone credible would pic the story up so I can figure out whether or not this guy need to be burned at the stake. If the story is true, he really is the worst kind of human.
