SMILE issue 4 vol. 1, December 1986; published in Florence/Italy & Baltimore/USA by John Berndt.

"Endlessly, we put glasses, cups and bottles down on publications, inscribing them with an infinity of sweating circles. This action, although slight, counts as an invasion of what ts usually an ideological space (the magazine) with an element of personal, nominal reality. Like any action, the aesthetic, symbolic and revolutionary potential of this interaction expands greatly when it is placed in hospitable context. Hence this issue of SMILE, which, like the previous issues, concerns itself with experimental philosophy, and its close companion, fanatical self-derangement. [...]The ideology of this magazine is the ideology of minimalism, that is, the aesthetic of the nominal, and by interacting with it, you reduce yourself to a minimum. [...] This is a user generated magazine of abstract artwork, the manifestation of creativity as the rejection of inertia.

SMILE is an international magazine of multiple origins. The name is fixed, the kind of magazines using it aren't."

SMILE issue 8: SMILE BACK AT THE RULING CLASS

published by Karen Eliot/Stewart Home, London, 1985, scanned and put online for the first time:

https://archive.org/details/smile-8-smile-back-at-the-ruling-class/

In this issue, Stewart Home announces his departure from Neoism, introduces Karen Eliot as a multiple nom-de-plume, and calls for the Art Strike 1990-1993. The texts were the first drafts of material that would later appear in Stewart's books.

Money quote: "To leave Neoism is to realise it".

Third-party endorsement: "The eighth issue of SMILE (available from KAREN ELIOT) contained a devastating critique of the NEOIST CULTURAL CONSPIRACY, a critique so persuasive that it invalidated the last remnants of the once important NEOIST movement." (John Berndt in SMILE issue 7 vol 1, 1986)

SMILE NEOISM PLAGIARISM:
an early issue of the 'international magazine of multiple origins', ca. 1984, likely co-edited by Stewart Home & Mark Pawson, with contributions by Monty Cantsin, Ben Allen and Pete Horobin.

"IN NEOISM WHAT WE ARE DOING IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THE FACT THAT WE ARE DOING IT. WHAT COUNTS IS THAT WE ARE MAKING A COLLECTIVE STAND AND THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT WE ARE TAKING THE STAND ON. MOVEMENTS IN ART FORM A COUNTER BALANCE TO THE EXCESSIVE INDIVIDUALITY THAT HAS CHARACTERISED WESTERN ART FOR THE PAST THREE HUNDRED YEARS."

One year ago, the news broadcasted clips and images from that video without credit. Even though that incident is long behind me, I've come to realise just how pervasive a problem this actually is. Join me as I delve into the rabbit hole of haphazard journalism and its impact on online creators.

Western Cell Division, 'Opening Gaps and Filling Them Up... WESTERN CELL DIVISION and You', Baltimore: Dialectical Immaterialism Press, 1987

Experimental reflections of multiple-use name identity politics, plagiarism/anti-copyright and Art Strike 1990-1993, grown out of Neoism.

"The provided texts explore themes of cultural reproduction, individual perception, and societal critique within late capitalism. 'Western Cell Division and You' conceptualizes the proliferation of a dominant 'Western Culture' and the potential for 'deviant cultures' to emerge through its divisions, while other sections discuss how plagiarism and censorship can serve as revolutionary acts against established notions of originality and controlled information. The collection further investigates 'Optically Disassociated Reality' (O.D.R.), proposing methods to alter visual perception and challenge the continuity cues ingrained by visual media like television. Ultimately, the sources advocate for a radical re-evaluation of art, identity, and social relations, calling for an Art Strike to dismantle the capitalist commodification of creativity and empower individual 'anti-skills' against pervasive societal structures."

@rightardia The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible have fascinating parallels, especially the flood story. In Gilgamesh (written around 2100 BCE), Utnapishtim is warned by the gods to build a boat and save animals from a massive flood, just like Noah in the Bible’s Genesis (written around 500–600 BCE). Both stories feature a divine warning, an ark, and a great flood. But while the Bible presents a monotheistic view, Gilgamesh involves multiple gods.
