International Society for the Appreciation of Teacher Wark’s
Amazing Techniques (ISATWAT)
“Not as good as the critical excoriation of me written by an
actual former student and included on the dust jacket!”

McKenzie (“Spank Me Harder”) Wark, 27 May 2013
(Isn’t he a cutie? In case
you can’t tell, he’s the one with his eyes closed!)*
Welcome to the homepage of ISATWAT, which was conceived, produced,
designed and written by McKenzie Wark’s students (that’s us!). One way
or another, we have all learned a lot from Mr. Wark, especially his
books about the Situationist International, and we felt it was a
super-awesome idea to get together and make this homepage a reality.
As our name indicates (duh!), we are kids from all over the world who
appreciate the amazing techniques Mr. Wark uses to teach us about really
important stuff, like the neutering of revolutionary theory, the
trivialization of exemplary action and the mindless use of capitalism’s
latest products, gadgets and fads.
We hope you like it and will tell all your friends about the
awesomeness that is McKenzie Wark and ISATWAT!

*On 27 May 2013, the Great Teacher tweeted “I’d rather they
left my family out of it.” Of course what the Great Teacher meant to say
was, “I wish I didn’t let my wife convince me to be part of the
publicity campaign for her play.” For that’s what this photo is (click
it and you will see): publicity for a play called Babylove. And baby, we love it!
