One hundred years ago in Zurich; Lenin, Tristan Tzara and James Joyce were
in exile, drinking coffee in cafes, and writing.
Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, workers in Russia
called a General Strike and organized workers councils for the first time.
The IWW was founded in North America to organize the unorganized to take
over the means of production through the General Strike.
It was the birth of Modernism.
And I celebrate this movement with a cut and paste of the avant-garde
manifestos that have influenced the 20th century. Dada, Surrealism and
Situationism, and their children the post modernists, were not just "Art"
movements but movements that embraced revolution and revolutionary aims in
Art and Society.


TYRANT TIME-TEMPUS FUG'IT

The creation of the clock is a defining moment in the history of
capitalism. It allowed for the regimentation of work, and for the
development of industrialization as clock works were applied to steam
power.The proletariat was created to work by the time of the clock. Prior
to that the artisan and farmer who worked by hours of daylight. With the
advent of the factory system in the late 18th Century, workers could be
forced to work in the darkness with the help of kerosene lamps, and by the
use of clocks to tell the time of the working day. Literally the working
day as we know it today began back then.
