In Plain Site
Çatalhöyük is an archeological site situated on the Konya plain in Turkey, and boasts extensive ruins of a group of prehistoric proto-cities. These hive-like structures were entered through the roofs, and fostered a tight-knit and unique communal structure of living. One of their most famous features were their burial practices: the dead were left on the rooftops to be de-fleshed by birds, and the skeletons were disassembled, and reassembled with other remains. They were decorated and painted, then these relics were shared between different homes where they would be enshrined beneath the floors. Children are thought to have been raised between different households as well. The inner walls of the small cell-like rooms were meticulously and repeatedly plastered and whitewashed. One of their favored objects [of worship?] are immense bull or Auroch horns that decorated many of the chambers. This culture flourished in the 7000's B.C.E.

Mass Meeting
MASS MEETING Revolving Doors or Musical Chairs (a series of unsettling events) la classe ouvrière etc. what had begun as an overt Manifestation of the Right to Assemble in Protest had been disbanded—in Fact and in Memory—to the point that nobody remembers the red bandanas, the blue bandanas, the water cannons and traitorous canisters of tear gases halted by hordes of open umbrellas: in the water droplets and steam appeared the Rainbow’s Spectrum (spectral masses); bands of color swath the streets protected by armor of hard-hats and yellow-vested interests while some dressed in Black. They had forgotten all of this, and also the predicted fall of Medoc’s Mass Media Feed (whose misfaits were unmasked with impunity).
