Nibbling away at the symbols of capitalism.

This wiki explains a specific type of perfora-lithic anti-capitalist practice. It interacts with buildings housing corporate and financial institutions, but mostly bank buildings.


Perforalithic nibbling is the making of holes in the shallow facades of buildings that stand symbol for turbo-capitalism, abuse of power, dominance, oppression. Perforalithic nibbling nerves are triggered by mega-corp appropriation of urban space. While anything can be a sign of capitalist society, some symbols are stronger then others. So we are not nibbling away at just any building, we bite into those that embody predatory capitalism. We chip off what we do not need until we are left with that which we do need. But maybe we don't need any of it.


You are warmly invited to contribute to the project, copy or propose methods, and add stones to the collection. Read More ...
