About the Book
A document from 1990s youth culture. Part manifesto, part art history, and all cut-up operations, Autonarchy23, along with Paving Stones, represents what might be termed Merrick's revolutionary period. The original document was released as a hyper-text website in 1998 and is presented here with essays and an interview placing it into it's historical and social context. Autonarchy23 is a record of an obscure UK art collective, active in the direct action and rave scene, discovering their place within theoretical and art history.

About the Creator
James Merrick is an experimental writer who blurs the boundaries between writing and art. He has written a number of books including two volumes of short experimental texts (A Story & Dead End Novel), a two volume study on the narrative of dream (Somnia), and a book of short essays on art, culture and technology (With One Eye on the Road). Some of James' texts have been presented as visual art, such as the collage novel Paving Stones, the projection Octavio Paz, Single Words, Left Aligned, 1957-1987, and A Story which Merrick has transformed into a sound piece.
