OAS Node #1: #TITMOTA Program 1 [August 9]

Bold Jez & anarchivists during the presentation "Recording Future History" at OAS Node #1 pre-launch #TITMOTA at BAT HAUS[LINK to photoset on the Bat Haus Tumblr]

Last night the Occupational Art School celebrated the Anarchives and their inventor Bold Jez, as the ghost of Peter Cooper floated monumental over our shoulders, invisible at times in the light. Special guests DAF encouraged rubbings and created a typological street intervention. We shared cookies, Etherpad, avocados, reflections on pre-9/17 Arts & Culture stunts, chronicles of Magic Mountain, QR Codes, artifacts of occupation [+]. An electrified hula dancer performed, and a poet. Bushwick passed by, asked questions, and we tried to provide true answers. The event was free.
