Bonjour y’all,

So,

Matthew – not sure if you’ll found this useful but i looked around for a few examples of what i thought was more in keeping with the joyful transience theme: 

Ewa – i see no reason why we can’t use parts of Epicurus in our project but i’d very much downplay other parts of it, as i think i said the associations with nihilism are just a touch too unpalatable for some, and there’s really no need to potentially alienate certain – probably religious – groups.  Just a concern is all. Moving on, i quite like the vanitas name, but if you’re not sure we should explore some alternatives. Not to be critical about your name suggestions, but do we really want to market ourselves in this way? It just doesn’t seem to fit our purpose; i saw us very much more highlighting the absurdities of advertising and its anything for attention rationale.  

 as for i, i’ve mocked up a manifesto – just drafted out some points but i think we need to talk over our exact aims and ideas so that i can set about creating some more expansive texts. also i’ve been looking at different transitory sounds to punctuate our website, clocks, footsteps that kind of thing. Will share all on Tuesday.

Juan PdR.
