Copy of email sent today to the newy opened Dada-named Bank Of Ideas in Sun St, E. London, where OCCUPY demonstrators have taken over an empty UBS building.

* Update. Bank of Ideas was stormed a few days later by riot police ( thought police ) armed with bolt cutters, full body armor, and tasers.
Hello OCCUPY ” Bank Of Ideas”
Writing from London Bridge HQ, LONDON DADA we would like to deposit a Dada conceptual art idea to your movement.
We will be uploading an image to our website today,
….of a cashpoint machine.. plus.
Procure the services of a street artist to spray paint a life-size cashpoint onto either an
inside or, preferably, outside wall.
On the cash dispensing area of the image wall there is a zone where a sticky notepad board is attached,
for anyone with an enlightened good idea/ strapline/sound-byte about an alternative society… to peel off and write. The notes are then stuck back on the board or on a dedicated inside info board, for others to read &/or replace.
(The sticky notes feedback idea is now ubiquitous and Tate was the first to copy it, see the following )
( * Update 2015, the ideas/feedback note pinning board idea itself was subsequently copied shortly thereafter by Tate Brittain and Tate Modern and is still in situ today ( update 2024 ) in their museum entrances )
