stereotypical consultant
At base level, this just comes down to dot-com transitional paradigm shifts.
The consultants recommend total strategic matrix approaches.
You really can't fail with remote third-generation consulting.
You really can't fail with quality reciprocal consulting.
You really can't fail with holistic transitional concepts.
Our exploratory research points to total monitored mobility.
The solution can only be parallel reciprocal innovation.

... point that I want very much to establish is that the choice of these "ready-mades" was never dictated by aesthetic delectation. The choice was based on a reaction of visual indifference with a total absence of good or bad taste in fact a complete anesthesia.

"In "An Introduction to Dada" originally published as an insert to Robert Motherwell's influential 1951 edition of The Dada Painters and Poets, Tristan Tzara presents a number of statements on the interrelationship posed between art and life that coincide, to an uncanny extent, with Robert Filliou's 1963 definition of the "Eternal Network." Tzara insists that participants in Dada "had repudiated all distinction between life and poetry" [2] and had determined that "the real aim of art (was) integration with the present-day world." [3] Although this posteriori reflection is specific to the actions of a World War I era avant-garde, it further corresponds to myriad mid-century artistic strategies that revolved around the so called "art/life dichotomy" including the environments and happenings of Allan Kaprow, the correspondence networks of Ray Johnson, Fluxus, the Nouveaux Réalistes, and Arte Povera. Furthermore, an expanding community of contemporary artists continues to rally around a banner dedicated to the inseparableness of art and life. Tzara explained that participants in Dada sought to integrate art with their present day world because "it seemed to us that literature and art had become institutions located on the margin of life." [4] However, despite the Dadaists' (and the Surrealists') attempts to dissolve distinctions between life and poetry, the institution of art's position within life did not shift closer to center. The proposed marriage lacked prerequisite reciprocity. Life, after all, did not ask to be integrated with art. "

Visiting her majesty Queen Beatrix
On the search for Tomatoes, basilicum and Mozzarella, Litsa Spathi went by the palast of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. Who knows her majesty might be of some help for this unique performance. Because of dutch law the conversation can't be published on this blog though.
