At an exhibit at ICP (International Center for Photography…as opposed to Insane Clown Posse) there were a whole series of photoshopped AOL chatroom conversations. Yeah, snippets from chatrooms with sentences different colors or written in weird fonts. Whoop-de-shit. Well here’s my attempt to get on the internet conceptual art bandwagon. It’s uncut, raw…and all real. Read it and give me a government grant. Bleh.

I’m playing the part of “mechatoe,” extolling the virtues of my favorite show. A show about a fat Polish man who pulls down his pants every episode.
