I don't suppose you've heard of postmodernism and art out there in Idaho, land of "Hee-Haw" reruns, but the idea of freaking out over-protective yuppie parents comes from a school of thought called Poetic Terrorism (PT). Keep in mind that no one actually got hurt - people perceived things in a scary way, that's all. (If you could see me when I don't shower and don't shave it can look scary.) That's why I also did the performance as a homeless person for the wealthy people in Laguna Beach in December. Here's an extract from TAZ, by Hakim Bey on the topic: "The audience reaction or aesthetic-shock produced by PT ought to be at least as strong as the emotion of terror -- powerful disgust, sexual arousal, superstitious awe, sudden intuitive breakthrough, dada-esque angst -- no matter whether the PT is aimed at one person or many, no matter whether it is "signed" or anonymous, if it does not change someone's life (aside from the artist) it fails." "PT is an act in a Theater of Cruelty which has no stage, no rows of seats, no tickets & no walls. In order to work at all, PT must categorically be divorced from all conventional structures for art consumption (galleries, publications, media). Even the guerilla Situationist tactics of street theater are perhaps too well known & expected now." "An exquisite seduction carried out not only in the cause of mutual satisfaction but also as a conscious act in a deliberately beautiful life -- may be the ultimate PT. The PTerrorist behaves like a confidence-trickster whose aim is not money but CHANGE." "Don't do PT for other artists, do it for people who will not realize (at least for a few moments) that what you have done is art. Avoid recognizable art-categories, avoid politics, don't stick around to argue, don't be sentimental; be ruthless, take risks, vandalize only what must be defaced, do something children will remember all their lives -- but don't be spontaneous unless the PT Muse has possessed you." "Dress up. Leave a false name. Be legendary. The best PT is against the law, but don't get caught. Art as crime; crime as art."
