Artistic Software for Dummies and, by the way, Thoughts

Sorry, this might have not much to do with the read-me 
festival in general, but reading this text there is no way 
to keep in the definition of the Russian "kulturologija" by 
Jutta Scheer:

K = [A - (E + F + H)] x RM

K=kulturologija
A=anthropology
E=empirical knowledge
F=Field Study
H=Historical facts
RM=pseudo Russian Mysticism

Whilst the shelves in the library and bookshops are 
groaning because of kulturologija in Russia, it took some 
time to locate the kulturologija institutes in Moscow and 
St. Petersburg and to identify the authors of the theories 
as the former ateism and marxism professors.
What a chaos!
