I kind of thought about writing a paper on drunk electronics...like, how it would work, and why anyone should even bother. I would probably call it "The Inebriation of the Electron". And it would, of course, cover other altered states of computer-conscious....glitches, bugs, stoner computers, etc.. It would also go into a whole thing about computers creating art...like if it's possible (if every art element--line, shape, contrast, value, color, texture, etc--was converted to a variable...which is where computers shine; variables...and it was fed various facts on certain art history or lack thereof, and it was shown an object or idea to represent with an emotion/message or two, and was given its format and medium restrictions, and so on and so forth)...and just creativity presence in computers in general...But the paper would probably focus most on the comparison of the role of drugs and alcohol in a human society (leisure, exploitation, breaking social barriers, fixing ailments, 'inspiration', etc.) versus the role of inebriates in a electronic environment (circuit bending, exploitation, other software anomalies).
Heh, it's ridiculous, but it's true.
