Oil and Religion writing exercies

Idea for animation: Using images to mask text (see the work of John Clark).

We began working at 2:50 using the cut-up and email method. The first step was gathering material from our various sources, in print and online, etc. an pasting them to a Word document. We set out 20-25 minutes for this step (but used 40). We then emailed the file to the person to our right and begin the second step, arranging what we were sent. Deletion counted as arrangement. This step lasted another 30 minutes. We then sent that file on to the same person with the only stricture that we can arrange and not add (unless it was our own), and then again until we ended up with 16 texts. We then read some of them outloud.
