NovadZine n-terstitial Edition [section 6]
Listen in to the 1st Podcast produced by Occupational Art School, Node #0 "What is the revolutionary potential of the Neoconsumer?"
A movie-poem from OAS Node #0: ...it felt like we were walking forever at times...VOID -- the horizon -- that we endlessly stared into...and when the day's end finally came, the packs crashing at our collapsing feet...silence; we found ourselves free.

Novadic Song in 7+ Parts
Dearly beloved, Please find attached this novadic song for voice, guitar, subway train, whistle, siren, drunk girls, wind, silence, etc. Free to download here; encouraged to play in any order: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s223//sh/b15eee1a-521b-4b6c-9490-fd70f4befaf8/08774e0860b39ae6fa9e67adc42f13a8 This was recorded from 2:30-3:40am on a pocket-sized hotness while finding my way from a shabbat dinner in Queens to a hot couch in Harlem, using a borrowed guitar, stealing melodies from singers I love (e.g. Calamity & the Owl) and words from the subway walls (do not pull the emergency cord, Emergency Workers...). Excerpted Lyrics: Wacky guitar...wacky guitar...oh no...oh no ooOOooOOooooo...and I wonder why the song is outside...We've got nothing left to do but play music on an empty subway platform...and o wonder why, the rails are electrified, why the floors all have their lights on (2x)...inside our minds, inside the heart, inside the hope of being One...and don't you wonder why the stars all healed inside, its not like were the last ones to consider the rain upon the sun...A Pyramid of muskets; a Teepee of guns...And don't you wonder why the lights are left on all night long...[whistles like clock chimes finding their own time]...and I wonder why, and I wonder why, and I wonder why, this song is outside. Ohhhhhhh ohhhh ooOOOooooooOOoo...

Location Search
SITE: Bat Haus (279 Starr St., Bushwick)
I visited Bat Haus and spoke to Cody Sullivan about locating OAS sessions at their brand-spanking new multi-use member-model facility (see website). Updates to follow. The Bat Haus Tumblr has lots of process photos that trace the space build-out and furnishing.
[Session 4]
Alex's "party" at Liberty Square: a complex rupture of backwards & onwards situated as a celebration of birth, an intervention, a bon voyage convergence of gamers, novads, salonists, and Occupiers, disguising a re-occupation.

OAS session
As is typical of AC's Way, the phenomenon of his appearance was multi-faceted. For OAS purposes, the sub-action involved the continuing expansion of our subtle and dimensional trans-course. Alex introduced me to DAF co-organizers Andrea Haenngi and Robert Neuwirth. We triangulated to discuss the DAF presenting or workshopping an OAS session. Both Andrea and Robert could lead sessions rooted in their respective "solo" or trade practices. I spoke with Robert at some length both about his squatter studies and his work on alternate economies, which of course is of great interest to OAS.
OWS painter and "99% Tax Dodger" James Rose was on hand, and we quickly formed an idea for an OAS session for him, too. He has a painter-friend in Bushwick, whom he thought would be fine studio-hosting a figure drawing class led by James in the near future. When the logistics are sorted updates/calendar will be passed along to you, dear OASer.
Jez was also in attendance, and we briefly followed up on yesterday's session/debriefing. Finally, Alex passed along a flyer/handbill for the New World Fair, which is happening 7/21 in Flushing, Queens.
[NOTES]:
The OAS structure is refining itself, now in all directions. It occurred to me that one important influence for the program would be Mr. Rogers.
