Forensically, Reconstructing Mayakovsky is difficult to granulate as it is a shockwave Flash file. While I mostly appreciate the aesthetic of the .swf, I can't help but think that encasing the project in a shockwave Flash file contradicts the claims Szilak makes in the manifesto for a "Do-It-Yourself,""Art-In-the-Street" aesthetic. Effacing the source, or how an object is made, really limits D-I-Y potential. Consequently, we're left with Szilak's own diagnoses of how the media we're presented relate (his boasts of "anti-google" tags that break search engine logic), rather than being able to figure out the relationships for ourselves.
