exquisite corpse

[amykamala]

exquisite corpse is an old dada/surrealist game based on the idea that a collective can have some sort of subconsciousness.

the game can be played with images or words. the basic guideline is that first player draws an image or writes a sequence of words, then folds the page over to cover most of the image/words or somehow hides majority of their input and passes it on to the next player who then feeds off the visible remainder of the previous play and then does the same thing.

so, i thought it might be fun to adapt this game to play in the snh.

to hide our text we can change the color to white so its just a little difficult to see, and leave the last word or two visible for the next person to quote. then the next person can take the color tags off to reveal the previous sentence, but camouflage their own play. no clue if it'll work, it's kinna some work huh, but i think it's worth a try. i'll go a few times to show you what i mean. dont try and read the white text tho bc it's supposed to be a subconscious flow. here goes:

i don't see why nothing is ever as we seem to think it is okay to be abusive to each other's brothers, lovers, mother ship is probably not a ship at all but another vibratory level

[bliss76]

i don't see why nothing is ever as we seem to think it is okay to be abusive to each other's brothers, lovers, mother ship is probably not a ship at all but another vibratory level double edged sword next to the light switch as we uncover stillness and finally drift off to sleep.
