When we're not doing all of that, we are earning our crust by
co-teaching a class called "Theory and Practice" in the New Genres
Department of the San Francisco Art Institute. Martin teaches
Technical Tuesdays and Drew teaches Theoretical Thursdays. Martin
teaches people about electricity, about how to make and edit sound
recordings, about how to shoot and edit video footage, and about the
history of musique concrete, structuralist film, and video art. Drew
has cooked up an eclectic introduction to "theory" (oh god) that takes
in formal and symbolic logic, conceptual art, structural linguistics,
the poetics of Oulipo, psychoanalysis, Aktionism, "heterology", and
gender studies. Those of you who wish to enroll in our Matmos home
