writing is music (spooky poetics)

In some ways their consciousness works differently,
one high frequency and one low frequency,
a streamed numeric sequence,
what holds them together is the machinery of culture.

We are embarking on the first steps toward transforming the species.

A relation between a determinate and an indeterminate,
outside of time,
there is only the moment of thought,
and every story leads to another story.

Another story to another story,
core myths from the binary opposition,
a phonetics of graphology,
I have to flip into sampler.

It was paved over and made into a co-op,
a world of constantly evolving networks,
figure out different ways to create,
while the notion of the avant garde becomes obsolete.

The outside world crushing you with media bombardment.

A series of events based on indeterminancy,
without resorting to tired vanguard poses,
figure out different ways to create,
bypass the notion of an authority.

DNA sequencing to
telepresent robotics to
nano-engineering to
space flight;

We now exist on an evolutionary scale.

Nets and bets,
tasks and masks,
codes and modes,
it just all flows.

Parallel actions occurring simultaneously in separate spatial dimensions but also on separate temporal planes.

Topic to topic,
culture to culture,
website to website,
thought to thought;

Situationist style generative psychogeography.

I flip the script and float,
taking our own alienated consciousness,
recombining them to create new languages,
creating seamless interpolations between objects of thought.

Double movement,
binary stratification,
transience of meaning;
Encoding.

Skewing the sciences of perception. Seeing sound hearing vision.

Absence and presence,
form and function,
sign and signified,
text and textuality.

A theater of networks,
marking and registering simultaneity,
representing the space between dreams,
exploring ideas of synchronicity.

Home is where your cell phone is,
while a logic of dispersion creates the new gathering spaces,
visual crafts extend our sense of telepresence,
and cipher the traffic of plural meanings that bombard us at every moment.

The beginning. That’s always the hard part. This outcome, that conclusion.

In some ways their consciousness works differently,
one high frequency and one low frequency,
a streamed numeric sequence,
what holds them together is the machinery of culture.

We are embarking on the first steps toward transforming the species.

A relation between a determinate and an indeterminate,
outside of time,
there is only the moment of thought,
every story leads to another story.
