spectacle asserting itself

aphid.org's wiki has recently been spammed, replacing content with links -- mostly from pharmecutical companies and celebrity sites in italy.

while i find this conceptually interesting -- considering the degree to which pharma marketing has saturated the memespace (perhaps they have a drug for spam - or maybe it is the openness of wiki that is the pathology they want to cure)

celebrity culture is ubiquitous and largely unavoidable. they stare at me from magazines at the checkout counter, and their names have overwritten my wiki writings (i guess george clooney > walter benjamin).

regardless, as tempted as i am to leave these things as they are and wax about them at more length, i will be cleaning house in the near future.

moving to another server, art will return shortly
