The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism
By Hakim Bey
“Weird dancing in all-night computer-banking lobbies. Unauthorized pyrotechnic displays. Land-art, earth-works as bizarre alien artifacts strewn in State Parks. Burglarize houses but instead of stealing, leave Poetic-Terrorist objects. Kidnap someone & make them happy. Pick someone at random & convince them they’re the heir to an enormous, useless & amazing fortune…”
“A.S. goes beyond paranoia, beyond deconstruction — the ultimate criticism — physical attack on offensive art — aesthetic jihad… A.S. seeks to damage institutions which use art to diminish consciousness & profit by delusion… MUZAK is designed to hypnotize & control — its machinery can be smashed.”
“The Law waits for you to stumble on a mode of being, a soul different from the FDA-approved purple-stamped standard dead meat — & as soon as you begin to act in harmony with nature the Law garottes & strangles you — so don’t play the blessed liberal middleclass martyr — accept the fact that you’re a criminal & be prepared to act like one.”
“If rulers refuse to consider poems as crimes, then someone must commit crimes that serve the function of poetry."
