Popularized in art by the Dada movement and in literature by Anthony Burroughs, the Cut-up Technique involves physically splicing content from two or more sources to create a product. A variation of this technique is the Fold-in method, for which you take two sheets of text, cut them in half, and match the opposing halves of the different sheets together.

I thought it would be interesting to create a cut-up of some of the major works we have covered so far during our Postmodernism unit. To that end, here is a line from my cut-up containing elements from Nova Express, Breakfast of Champions, The Cure, and Biography of a Dress:

Nova Police. Yes I think we can quash this cocktail waitress here, this vertical band of light, I placed the wrapped and ribboned box of sweets (giving to me a false air of delicacy).
