Atlas Fugged
“Rand’s heroes must continually fight against ‘parasites’, ‘looters’, and ‘moochers’ who demand the benefits of the heroes’ labor.” (Wikipedia)
What happens when a text goes on strike? Taking Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged as primary course material, participants of this class will be asked to pledge a minced oath to mince the bloated, enforced monopoly of this 20th century source code. Whether by rewrite, remix or redact; through acts of coercion, plagiary, & misprision; in pursuit of exploitation, self-interest, the cheap thrill of an adulterous literary encounter; we will tease our indifferent Atlas back into his original employment via the form of a newly weighted sacrifice: our collaboratively reworked edition of Rand’s text. Parasites, looters, lazy fairies of the word, unite!
