Origin
David C.West worked with the Factual Nonsense Gallery alongside Joshua Compston before Compston's death on March 5, 1996. Among projects on which they collaborated was The Jack Duckworth Memorial Clinic, a spoof clinic for soap opera addicts.
In 1996, David C. West along with Alex Chappel formed a "media terrorist" group called a.r.t. (a reasonable thought). "We use the media as a canvas for art", explained David C. West: "Stunts have included running a clinic for soap opera addicts and launching The Dennis Nilsen Tour Company.". This is thought to be the earliest incarnation of what is now known as Decima.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“High treason, when it is resistance to tyranny here below, has its origin in, and is first committed by, the power that makes and forever re-creates man.”
