Le College de 'Pataphysique

The College of 'Pataphysics works using a series of commissions. My scoutmaster says this group, the College of 'Pataphysics is really the organization responsible for the tendency of artists in the late 20th and early 21st centuries to work in collaborative collectives, or hide behind historical models of collectivity. But, when looking at the original model of the college, all collaborative work was done as research engines, such as the Oulipo, which was a commission of the college to publish a book by Queneau that was proving problematic because of its self-imposed literary constraints. But he said scouting organizations, especially those in the private sector, that is age based or religious based memetic engines, like Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and 4H worked more like art movements, where someone makes all the decisions and then figures out clever ways of making kids feel like they acieved something special (awards) for learning a subject the way that leader's think it should be read to perpetuate their meme-sets, into meta-meme-sets.
