@emilymbender The mentioning of SALAMI as a better name for “AI” made me immediately think of Dieter Roth’s Literature Sausages (Literaturwürste) 🤩
They are sausages made of ground-up text pages mixed with fat, gelatin, water, and spices and stuffed into sausage casings. Fits “AI” perfectly 😅

Attached: 3 images The Verwurstung of books. In 1974, the artist Dieter Roth experimented with the materiality of books - and made, among other "literature sausages", Hegel's complete work to 20 sausages using traditional sausage recipes, replacing the sausage's meat with book paper. #histodons #bookhistory #bookstodon
Needless to say I'm still checking the catalogue? I just went through the shit section with the different titles "Die gesamte Scheisse", "Die verdammte Scheiße", "Die verdammte gesamte Kacke", "Die verdammte gesamte Scheiße" and so on. 💩
In this sense, a great weekend!
