โ Operation Mindfuck โ
Artifacts
Downloadable Discordian propaganda. Print, distribute, leave on bus seats.
Operation Mindfuck was the Discordian Society’s long-running campaign of absurdity-as-praxis — inserting strange documents into ordinary contexts so the ordinary context might briefly question whether it was, in fact, ordinary. Greg Hill and Kerry Thornley printed pope cards and saint cards on cheap mimeograph stock and gave them away. They mailed manifestos to bemused journalists. They left tracts in laundromats. The artifacts below are the same idea in higher resolution.
Pick one. Customize it. Download. Print. Distribute. The artifacts are valid in all 23 known dimensions. The Society accepts no responsibility for the consequences of their successful deployment.
