I adore the concept of this page, even if saying it increasingly makes one sound like an extra from Mars Attacks. It fits in nicely with my own wide notion of art - the best art being in the accidental and the best artists anyone who happened to notice the accidental thing in question. For instance, I was once faced with a lorry coming towards me with the legend 'MOM' emblazoned across its facade. At that instant a car passed going the other way with the number plate 'DAD'. Just for me. This sort of thing is happening all the time, we are surrounded by the stuff. I believe some people degrade it with the name life and squat on it. I like to get my hand down the crack (yes, I know) and so, it seems, does AGG/GAG/CAC.
Search Engine Poetry and dead threads are perfect examples of actively going looking for accidental art. Beautiful.
