Did you first hear about the extremely-serious and totally-not-not scientific discipline of 'Pataphysics from the song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" by The Beatles?
for an example i remember in the late 90s i was searching as much for search engines as i was searching for random topics of interest that i was running through them and there was definitely not everything online, a lot of significant cultural objects had no presence anywhere in this space. i have to say i forgot the "texture" of those "close but no cigar" search results and the compromises i was making when in the mood to randomly explore them nonetheless... i think that might be an example of something that is lost.
Here is the pokemon metagross http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Metagross_(Pok%C3%A9mon) Now patagross, what would that look like?
My teacher insists that pataphysics is satire. How can I change his mind?
Or any other pataphysical society? The Science has left me fascinated for years. I'm trying to read as much as I can from Jarry's works, to Hugill's 'Useless Guide'. I just finished Daumal's Pataphysical Essays and I want to pick up Bok's 'The Poetics of an Imaginary Science' next. I'm really interested in learning and experiencing as much as I can and I'm seriously considering joining the College, but I can't find any info on what the publications are like or opinions on membership.
