Robin Cooper

In his book, the time wasters diaries, Robin Cooper builds up a series of postal corespondences with various companies, organisations and individuals, generaly wasting there time with his bizzare ideas, inventions and proposals. It is an extremly funny book, yet never cruel or expoloitive, with his simply wasting people time, playing on our eagerness to comunicate andthe formalities we automatical follow when contacted by post.

here is an example

It was Coopers letter that inspired my own letter dialogues with the leader of the shut down sizewell campain, and the sation director of sizewell nuclear power station. I feel, due to its depleating use and relevance, the letter has more power today than ever before, as techniological advances have meant that letters have become reserved for generally more formal dialogues. This is something I would like to "riff on" as it where, using the letter to catch people of guard as Robin Cooper does.
