Language Is A Virus

Filed under Art: Internet

If you like William S Burroughs, you probably know that he would sometimes take a razorblade to pages of written text and physically make edits that resulted in new words and stream of consciousness concepts. If you don’t like William S Burroughs, you probably just learned why. Website Language Is A Virus (name taken from a Burroughs quote) is an index of on-line word hack toys so that you may get your Beat on, without all the shooting up and shooting your wife and so on. If you like the David Bowie Outside album, David evidently used something much like this when channeling the lyrics… back when the the internet had more art than ads on it.
