Introduction

MattBayan2: Baud is typing in some shit from a book he has to read for
class. It's esoteric and unconne
MattBayan2: unconnected.
MattBayan2: and damn rude.

'BaudriR' charts the live reproduction in internet chat rooms of Jean
Baudrillard's 'In the Shadow of the Silent Majorities'. The Semiotext(e)
publication has been keyed in, line by line, cover to cover, (including the
ISBN number) as BaudriR navigates through a broad cross section of AOL chat
rooms: from 'NAM VETS AND PROUD' to 'pokemon forest', 'Jesus sucks' to 'Car
Chat', 'Anthro Mating Plains' to COPS WITH ATTITUDES', 'Hillary for
Senate', etc, etc. In the midst of talk about sex, politics, religion, sex,
Eminem, or pretty much nothing, the reactions to BaudriR vary from
confusion to ridicule and even agression, with just a few people making the
Baudrillard connection.
