FRUIT

Welcome to the Internet incarnation of x-x-x fruit
(as opposed to the one on paper that hit the streets last summer).

Fruit is a journal of images, words, ideas and action.

In these urgent times, we prefer to eat than to be eaten,
to respond than to be silenced, to remember than to forget.

And you?

Issue Number One

WITNESS:
The need for revolutionary vision and collective creativity has never been greater. We are all witnesses.

EXQUISITE CORPSE:
A surrealist literary device. A game of folded paper which consists of having several people compose a phrase or a drawing, none of the participants having any idea of the preceding contribution.

On the following page is defense attorney
Johnnie Cochran's opening statement to the
O.J. Simpson jury, rendered as an "exquisite corpse."

Fruit randomly assigned lines of the text to 58 contributors.

Click on a Witness name to go directly to that person's written or visual contribution.

Click on one of the highlighted words within the opening statement to go to a selection of pieces connected by theme.

Buttons and still more highlighted words enable you to navigate from piece to piece, back to the opening statement, and to some surprise destinations on the Web.

Join the discussion in the x-x-x fruit Salad Bowl, using the button at the bottom of the Exquisite Corpse page.
