Despite all his rage, they're still just two Scotts doing Cage: OK, try this: Go to Google and do a search on "Andisheh" (lest we forget). Take the first word or name from the titles of each of the top 10 results, and write them down as a sentence. (If you get a repeat, go to the second word.) Here's what I got: "Learnin' Andisheh Presents andy2000: Asra Mahdavi, Kar Avini, I-20 Society."

Mean something? Maybe. Poet Mark Leibert used a more elaborate version of that process (searching "John + Cage" on Emory's online library catalog) to create one of his signature polyphones, "the bars of the cage." He and three other poets read simultaneously from the results. Surprising rhythms and recurrences emerged from the randomized din.

I caught their reading at the Atlanta Poets Group's Word and Praxis: John Cage, a multidisciplinary happening at Eyedrum on Wednesday night.

Event curator John Lowther gave an impromptu mini-lecture on Cage, who liked making art of what others called mundane, and introducing elements of chance into his work. The evening's artists did the same.

For his installation "Martian Moons," Mario Schambon attached motors to a tethered rubber ball and a cluster of pencil stubs, then set them loose to draw a work of auto-art on paper taped to the floor. (I think I saw the head of Ganesh in the result.)
