UPDATE 2006: One time around August of 2001 Cary Peppermint concluded that art as he understood it was a sham and so he decided to become a commercial hip-hop artist instead. Cary Peppermint aka CN_ZERO. This was before he understood art as both a spiritual and intellectual practice. This was way back when he was still looking for results. You see gentle reader; Cary Peppermint thought there might be a definitive answer or a cheap and easy way to increase his bank account. He wanted to live the ideal of pop star -- which he did succeed in simulating for a brief while, but the simulation sucked because it made him feel creatively dead and more than a little depressed. - From "The Unauthorized Bio of CN_ZERO" by John James Lee Jackson, 2006

PLEASE CLICK THE PHOTO-LINK TO THE RIGHT AND PLACE A BID ON EBAY.COM FOR ORGINAL CNZERO MERCHANDISE. PROCEEDS WILL HELP ME BECOME A COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL HIP-HOP / TECHNO ARTIST. WHY? BECAUSE RESTLESSCULTURE MUST INCLUDE A BETRAYAL OF ITSELF AND I'M NOT GETTING ENOUGH PLAY FRONTING AS AN INTELLECTUAL AND NETWORKED ARTIST.
