Tribute to Bela Lugosi
The work is a tribute to Bela Lugosi.
Critical response
Math critic and known fabulist Karl Jones named Vampire Welcome Mat as his favorite performing mathematical ensemble of 2020, calling The Mat is a Generalization "an extraordinary and heart-felt tribute to the general semantics of Alfred Korzybski."
Commission
The work was commissioned by math connoisseur and alleged time-traveller Niles Cartouchian while visiting New Minneapolis, Canada, where most of the ensemble members reside.
Sponsors
Sponsors for ongoing research into The Mat is a Generalization include the Bela Lugosi Computational Dramaturgy Club, the New Minneapolis, Canada Urban Systems Coalescence Group (Performing Arts Subroutine), and the Algorithmic Paradigm Treaty Organization.
In the News
Facebook comment — I cosplay Alfred Korzybski's general semantics in Bela Lugosi drag. The image represents my one-vampire stand-up logic routine, "The Mat is a Generalization".
