Anartist

The bright red cloth covering Aidell’s newest piece was the coup-de-grace for this whole project. Was it even actually red? That’s what the seller told her, but the memetic fibers rendered it all but invisible to her eyes, save for the barely-perceptible gold embroidery along its edges. As far as anyone could tell, there was nothing there. Perfect.

She loaded the piece into the trailer attached to her bike, securing it with some bungee cords. The effect of the covering made it look such that her trailer itself was an art piece, with bungees stiffly strained by some invisible force. Nothing weird, for Three Portlands at least. She picked her route carefully, criss-crossing down minor spokes and rims on her way to the Deer campus, careful to avoid any of the more crowded shopping districts or office blocks.

“This’ll show that snuff-sniffing bastard to fail me,” she thought as she pushed her way up the street, “smug asshole.”

As the students and professors made their way about the campus that Monday morning, Dr. Iverns was seen storming down the hallway from his office. His face was a shade of red best described as “beet”. It wasn’t until much later that they found him, sitting atop the courthouse square clocktower, shouting from the comfort of his decadently embroidered office chair about the failure of anart. It took three hours and a heavy dose of anti-memetic darts to call him down. He never did return to the campus, but faculty found a note on his desk as they cleaned out his office, “çeci ne pas une anart”.

Anartists create works that impact the viewer and the world, in very real ways. Masters of memetic and anomalous creations, the avant-garde anomalous art movement seeks to create pieces that far surpass the realms of traditional art. Some anart influences people to buy more pizza. Some cause the ground beneath it to liquify. Some have effects far too grizzly to be recorded. Play an anartist if you wish to fuck with people by making cool shit.

Proficiences

Select two of the following proficiencies

Metalworking and Mechanical Creations

    You like sculpture, and what's better than a sculpture made of metal that moves and talks? You are pretty damn good at making mechanical creations and understanding the mechanics of things.

Language and Literary Creations

    The pen really is mightier than the sword. At least, the cognitohazard the pen creates is. You're experienced with writing, and can manipulate language to suit your needs and communicate your ideas. You've even printed a few zines.

Memetic Creations

    The best way to get the word out is if people can't resist getting the word out. You've learned how to create memetic items, and gotten pretty good at it.

Paratechnology

    Kinetic sculpture is cool and all but have you ever seen a robot leg that walks around all on its own? You are adept at building and repairing complex anomalous technology.

Digital Art

    Computers are the future, so naturally your medium is future-proofed. You have a deep knowledge of digital art creation, methods, and equipment.

Painting and Drawing

    You like the classics, painting and drawing ar timeless. It's rare to spot you without a pencil or a brush, and you've honed your skills into your own unique style.
