The Cut Up Method: Brilliance in Innovation and Uncertainty
What it means to me. Particularly why it has been so prominent also has spurred my curiosity. For one, it breaks the linearity of the norms in which I write, or perhaps you could call them the boundaries that I operate in. It is simple and I think of it as an easier way to create something that is nonlinear. For example, try to create a piece with non linearity and new syntaxes. To accomplish this, one would need a very creative mind. Also the uncertainty is another aspect that is very intriguing to me also. Sentences that are based on no grammatical rules can be developed and sometimes, whole new ideas or phrases may develop that are perhaps within the context of the original phrase, or the new phrase develops a whole new idea within that context that the originator would have never thought of. Perhaps if done thousands of times, new phrases and ways of thinking would surface. Its almost like creativity meets simple innovation that would have not occurred without this cut up method. It seems to have a lot of potential to develop a whole new realm of creativity but has not gotten ‘track’ among academic scholars or the general population.

I share similar thoughts about the cut-up method. It provides a new means to create novel ideas and new tools to make unforeseeable arguments, making it especially intriguing. It eliminates any conventional boundaries that we have been taught to restrict ourselves to.
