WHAT IS A CORPORATE COMMAND?
A Corporate Command is an instruction work, a call to action in the
form of
an imperative:

"Just Do It"
"Turn on the Future"
"Live without Limits"
"Tap into great taste"
"Think different"
"Ride the light"
"Live Like You Mean It"

It is the hypothesis of the Institute for Infinitely Small Things that
these
commands, largely and consciously ignored by a public over-saturated
with
advertisements, function at the scale of the infinitely small. Tiny
events
that do not disturb one's consciousness or disrupt one's identity as
"free"
agents, these commands seep under the surface of the individual and lay
claim to the territory of the Deleuzian Virtual. Desire, memory, and
future
potentiality become territories for conquest and tactics for social and
political control.

By compiling, tabulating, concretizing and enacting these commands in
the
International Database of Corporate Commands (IDCC), the Institute for
Infinitely Small Things seeks to better understand the mechanisms behind
this deployment of power and its larger cultural ramifications.
