The World's First Collaborative Sentence is a large, constantly growing multimedia document. The artist launched this project on the internet in 1994 and transferred ongoing aesthetic responsibility to the readers. The visitor has the possibility to collaborate on this unusual corporeal text by adding his own thoughts, texts, images or sounds to the collaborative work. The question as to the author is annulled. Where everything written is stored »and can be reused by other writers, what emerge are unauthorised, i.e. authorless texts that are written, as it were, while being read.«
