Burtner placed six small squares on eight rows cut from magazines with the page number 13 on each square. The cut up technique, first used by William Burroughs, has inspired the work of many visual poets. Part of his name appears on the second square from the left, first row. Duchamp invented found art, and his name appears in the second square from the right, last row. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
