A GAME TO CELEBRATE LAUTRÉAMONT'S BIRTHDAY, 4th April 2007


Le plagiat est nécessaire. Le progrès l'implique.
Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it.
Lautréamont

You are invited to join us in the celebration of Lautréamont's birthday by committing an act of plagiarism.

The act of plagiarism may take any form you wish -- found audio and/or found text and/or found image and/or collage and/or détournement and/or forgery and/or any other variation, experiment or adventure in plagiarism that you can invent.

SLAG will be collating responses to this game for publication on Lautréamont's birthday itself. Material will be accepted in any language. If you would like your own responses to be included, please send them to us no later than 12 midnight (Greenwich Mean Time) on Tuesday 3rd April. All responses received by that time will be collated and published on 4th April as a collective salute to our most delirious forebear.
