Craig Saper

First reaction,
This guy is nothing but a name dropper, as noted in the introductory and concluding paragraphs.

Setting that aside, and focusing on the meat of his essay.... that of Bogg's Bills.

Bogg's situation seems very interesting.
A quick wikipedia finds that :
Any person who gets a Boggs note can usually sell it for much more than its face value: a $10 Boggs note may be worth more than $1000. Any person who knows about Boggs is likely to accept a Boggs note; for this reason, Boggs prefers to spend his art with people who are unfamiliar with his work.
Which is quite BOGGling. har har.
I find the link to the next project, being his interactive performances, or his -sociopoetics. Which isn't a real word.

I mostly like the idea of his interactions between those people whom he is trying to convince to take his money. I find this to be interesting. Like why should i accept your 20USD, or your 20E, or DM at the time, or your pound of pure gold, who gets to assign value anyway.
/sigh
