Hay dos tipos de personas (y solo dos): los que han usado Lotus Notes y los que no
Hay dos clases de personas (y solo dos): las que montan la Billy y las fijan a la pared y las que montan las Billy y no las fijan a la pared
Hay dos clases de personas (y solo dos): las que atornillan y las que desatornillan
Hay dos clases de personas: las que creen que hay dos tipos de personas y las que no
Guy Debord, Guide Psychogeographique de Paris: Discours Sur Les Passions D’Amour, 1957
This map represents Guy Debord’s use of dérive, a playful strategy that disrupts daily life events, like walking, and allows a person to be drawn by the spontaneous attractions and contours of the city. This emphasis on the dérive by Debord is evidence of his interest in prohibiting “art” altogether, prioritizing social change. This enforcement of art practice as intervening and organizing dissent marks the Situationist International’s key role in the avant-garde, claiming a direct link to the events in Paris in May 1968. While these events had real impact Debord’s writing privileges failure as a necessary catalyst to success. In speaking of the Paris Commune of 1871 Debord writes, “The apparent successes of this movement are actually its fundamental failures…while its failures…are its most promising successes so far, for us and for the future.”
