Lost Art of Communication
c. Michael St.Mark 2006
( This work for display on a PC monitor )

10 years on, the original London Dada concept imitated by anonymous Twitter troll “@puddingforbrains ”
( account quickly deleted )

plagiarising pudding for brains.. but noted and “explored further” by the BBC actor, writer and broadcaster Miranda Keeling;  http://mirandakeeling.com/handwriteyourtweet/

Reply to MK . I wasn’t ” thinking about this back in 2006 ” – I invented the concept / now genre back in 2006.

I stopped at a bus stop to notice..

* 2025 UPDATE; Miranda now employs London Dada’s 2006 communication conceptual artwork idea on a regular basis on her Instagram channel; without crediting the original artist, whose idea now apparently works a treat for her channel views / book sales..

London Dada Work 262; Alien Watch 2

Alien Watch II
(TV Screenshot)
(c) Michael St.Mark 2006

The head is clear because the heart is closed.

The Rt. Hon William “Bonny bouncer” Hague MP.
Television image, coldly discussing the Iraq war bloodbath, which he himself voted for in 2003.

Appearing a rather benign alien, William nevertheless shows all the classic symptoms of originating from the topmost league of planets in far-flung space where there is hardly a trace of capacity for compassion for, or empathy with, others.
Perception reveals here we have an emotionally and spiritually bereft and disabled being, far from realizing full human potential and using his intellectual might for selfish ends in the guise of altruism

Ship of Fools

This scultpture works well on different levels, ranging from child-like wonder and delight at the scale of the paper boat construction in itself, through the rather surreal and preposterous positioning of such a huge origami vessel into a small garden pond; to an invitation to question our preoccupation with absorbing the mental concoctions of the media in the formation of a flimsy and temporal paper boat “reality”, when all around is such vibrancy of colour, beauty and depth of space.
