yeah that's true. but the cut up thing is specific to taking a page and cutting up words and phrases and reassebling them. so i guess you could say it was a precursor to the cut up technique that brion gysin came up with and burroughs then began to use. i think it was the books that burroughs wrote in the 60s that used this method.

There is a WSB exhibit here in NYC for another week at "his" gallery on 24th st.
