I won't clutter up your mailboxes with the whole article (it's bad
enough, dealing with the digests, getting through all the endless
replication of entire previous messages- the main reason I don't and
only excerpt those passages I'm directly responding to- I was born here
on the net, after all, in the 300 baud era, and then, the also endless
amount of posts here that are in html format- Bruce- filter that
crap!), but, I think it's an important article, if one looks at
memetics and culture from the creative viewpoint, and, hey, IMHO,
that's a very important perspective.
It's a small article in the Boston Globe today about an interview with
Mark Morris, the choreographer, and seminal performer and alterer of
the cultural landscape, which is, after all, what memetics is all
about. Even those who still harbor the erroneous imagination that memes
are in the mind (where they really can't do anything, d'uh), might
enjoy reading about how Morris develops his memes (performances).
