I want killer-vision. Some people say it was discovered accidently by some scientists conducting a clinical drug trial. Actually, they were giving the patients ecstasy and one of them, known only as “pp”, developed an in incredible insight into how the world should be run. The whole world would be run by a political party called “The Party Party”. Nobody would have to go to work. Their campaign slogan would be “Teach the children to sing!” in reference to their policy of turning all primary schools into karaoke bars. Actually nobody ever bothered to vote for the party party cos everyone was too busy frolicking and making out

The utopian vision goes on and on and on and on like this.

Whenever you have a genius moment like this, drug induced or not, it is called killer-vision. And the finest pracitioner of this art that the world has ever seen, is philthy philhtosa.

Happy birthday Philthy!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE killer

art-yes or no. The philthosa/destruction model

The philthosa/destruction model was created in the summer of 2003. The aforementioned inventors fancied themselves as rather good art critics, particularly when under the influence of cheap wine and reeling from previously held annoying conversations with fellow gallery-goer’s.

It is a simple, and intensely effective way of distinguishing good art from bad art, or as philthosa/destruction term “total shit / totally excellent”

The p/d model requires only one art viewer, but the model works most effectively with two participants. Three or more can also participate, but all must be in agreement of the inherent validity and complete accurateness of the p/d model. Conversations that challenge the model whilst it is being implemented serve no purpose apart from revealing the argumentative participant as a “wanker”.

1. Participants begin at the art piece to the furthest left of the art space. If this beginning point cannot be determined, the participants should agree on a randomly determined piece.

2. Participants ponder the piece together in silence for approx 10 seconds.

3. In no particular order, participants should vocalise one of two potential responses, “Yes” or “No”.

4. Participants move to the next piece and repeat steps 2 & 3.

note: If the gallery is jam-packed full of stuff, and it is not possible to look at each individual piece, the participants may rate the entire exhibition with the “Yes” or “No” response.

A “Yes” response may inspire the participants to further engage in cheap wine and annoying conversation.

A “No” response may inspire…..exactly the same thing.

dearest madame de philthy. this is a blog i have crafted with painstaking indentations of my keyboard for you, on the occasion of your 30th birthday, sweet lady. i have hopes that i may visit it into the future to get the low-down on where to find free booze, good times and good/bad/mediocre/life-changing art (depending on the vagaries of the creative output of the artistes of melbourne), or info on yr own many wondrous projects of art and craft. i have long admired yr propensity for art spam, and dream of you spamming the world with it, so that the words and phrases “art opening”, “gallery show”, “drinks n nibbles” and so-forth are as ubiquitous around the globe as “cheap viagra”, “enlarge your penis” or “PjbvHARMACY”. it is only fitting that the philthiest drummer of spam fame carry on to the task of art spam at this latest creative juncture. i hope to see chuba-sightings galore, and all manner of melty-beads fashioned into objets d’art, as well as following along as you journey through other linguistic and artistic adventures. much love from a xx
