(thank you to tim miller for photograph of the book! (my finances are too bad for me to own copies of these books i make!))
that's right folks. THIS ONE'S IN COLOR. part of a series of reprints of books in the "Social Changes" series put out by Gordon and Breach, curated and edited by Victor Gioscia. the ones we are focused on are the book-length works put out by individuals involved with Raindance, an art/philosophy/etc collective working in the 70s, most well known for the amazing journal Radical Software.
an extremely unique combination of art book, flipbook(?), and dense, networked, visionary, and quite idiosyncratic philosophy by the more-or-less leader of Raindance. easier, perhaps, for me to point you to the pdf on the internet archive than try to continue explaining it. influenced by Everything, striving as hard as a person could strive towards a future better than the one we've been given.
Gillette was also an extremely active participant in the first-ever global, networked chat system on ARPANET, where he richly philosophized -- primarily with engineer Brendan O'Regan -- about matters our cynical and predatory media ecology couldn't give less of a shit about. fortunately, we have also rescued transcripts of these conversations from the wastebin of history, with a pdf available on the internet archive. hope to eventually turn those into a book as well.
