Crimson Feet, Volume 3
Theme, Scope and A Call for Entries
-----------------------------------------------***

Crimson Feet, the bi-monthly journal of evolutionary art and writing is 
publishing its third volume in May'04. This note presents a brief 
outline of the pervading theme, structure, scope and a call for new work.

Volume 3 - Theme:
*Poof* - the pyramid's gone and so is the mythical underground

Approaches:
The pyramid as a hierarchy is a classical symbol of the burden the 
underdog carries on his shoulder. The burden of the need to rise up the 
hierarchy, the burden of the need to survive, the burden of living with 
the conscious presence of accomplished and 'risen'. But the pyramid can 
also be equity, a disintegrated pyramid is a maze, an integrated pyramid 
is a multi-dimension.

The pyramid as a hierarchy is a product of the universal lack of 
conviction.

Scope:
Essays, art, poetry, fiction looking at the pyramid structurally. A 
study of the structure of the pyramid as well as its deformations and 
mutations can reveal some interesting things about hierarchies, the 
underground and the *Poof* effect. The *Poof* effect has been felt by 
numerous individuals and organizations at different points in their 
life. It suddenly makes you feel
liberated and free to do anything, to feel anything, even 'happiness'; 
some instances of the *Poof* would be interesting. Strains of humour or 
sarcasm will fit in well. Interpretation can be with any foci. 
Specifically work which draws similarities and 'cross-solutions' across 
different genres and fields e.g. open-source, the software industry and 
the music industry is a ready example.
