[edit] i think the situationists have been pulling wikipedia's leg

Oxford's "Philosophy of Physics" department? a meeting with CERN?

Then again, Situationists and their kith and kin have a long and glorious history of pulling people's leg -- their abilities to do so are something they take great pride and pleasure in.

This is communist nonsense and should most certainly be deleted 05:46, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] you're putting the psycho back into psychogeography!

This is psychedelic lettrism with bordigist overtones. I can see you're moving towards a new synthesis of the best of "German" and "Italian" left communism merged with theories and practice coming from both absolute elsewhere and the Black Atlantic and Black Pacific. Wow! Rock on!

Please tell me you were joking just there.--Halloween jack 20:38, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] so what is it?

I find it amazing that you can read the articles on lettrism, hypergraphics, metagraphy and Isidore Isou and still have no idea what this is about. Is it a joke?

This article, like pretty much all of the other psycho-, meta-, ultra-, hyper-, blah blah blah articles related to art, is useless. It does not explain its subject with anything more than quotes containing selective, subjective, and nigh-meaningless jargon, and doesn't contain any images or external links which provide examples of what it's talking about. --Halloween jack 01:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. There's no clear meaning here. I'm surprised hypermedia isn't mentioned in the article. By the name alone, I would guess that hypergraphics are interactive graphics. That would be the simple english version of the article. Oicumayberight 01:15, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

A quick Google search for "lettrism" and "Situationalist International" reveals a slew of similarly styled nonsensical literature whose points remain evasive, illusive and probably nonexistent. It is all utterly baffling and confusing, and in need of explanation immediately before my mind explodes. Would someone care to supply an adage of Homeric wisdom at this precarious and frightful moment, so as to ease my befuddled contemplation?

[edit] Merge with Metagraphy

Neither articles are full, hypergraphy is a type of metagraphy or similar enough to share the page. The extremely short sections in each could also be merged. Hyacinth 16:32, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree. we need to add more details such as the relationaship with Douglas Rushkoff/Marshall McLuhan term meta-media or Stewart Home's plagiarism movement... Paki.tv 23:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Merge. SethTisue 15:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Given that this discussion is now more than 6 months old, and there was no objection, why has this merger never been performed? It is certainly a good idea, and even necessary. It should proceed. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 04:44, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
