Drafts/Драфты 
 
Драфты ≅ Drafts

Draft I

Is it a bird? Which bird is it? Day is a neck of a transparent bottle. An ostrich. I find this lamp at the end of a black tunnel. Before I turned the lamp on, it was a bottle.

Это птица? Что это за птица? День — горлышко прозрачной бутылки. Страус. Я нахожу эту лампу в конце черного тоннеля. До того, как я включил лампу, она была бутылкой.

Draft II

You know when a man is hollow. But, if there is a man's content around, would you know it's a man? Two miles from home to a grocery store. Bottles of sweat.

Ты знаешь, когда человек пуст. Но, если вокруг тебя содержание человека, скажешь ли ты, что перед тобой человек? Два километра от дома до супермаркета. Бутылки пота.

Draft III Day when I am remembered. Lunchtime. White snow, vanilla coke. Is darkness still black? Winter – cold? I'm drawing a blank.

День, когда меня вспоминяют. Обед. Белый снег, ванильная кола. Черна ли еще темнота? Зима — холодна ли? Вопросы на пустом бланке.

Draft IV Depth of a snowdrift inside my boots. With this depth, I measure the walked distance. I descend to a rain-made puddle. What do I know about distance? Nothing.

Глубина сугроба внутри моих ботинок. Этой глубиной, я измеряю пройденную дистанцию. Я спускаюсь к дождевой луже. Что знаю я о дистанции? Ничего.

Containment

No in, no out. Divide in two. I know homonyms will always play the same trick on us. I know meaning will fade into nonsense, but with all their complexity man claims oblivion. Let's say you're a sparrow. Russian proverb says: word is no sparrow. Meme says: nothing is sparrow but a sparrow. Skybox is knocking me out continuously, taking me out as if I was an old wooden door that won't budge despite dozens of keys at hand. The sky: remember its color. You don't need hands to take it, it doesn't need hands to take you. Likewise, eternity has no hands to take me. Has no gloves to spare. Let's say, I give you keys from my former apartment: will you stop the fire which originated while no one was home? The landscape: it's learned from inside – as if the remains of the arcs smooth with graffiti were standing at the door of the rocks, asking to let them back in. And the rocks say: we already have arcs. And the flesh says: I already have hands of my own. Stone lies at hand, bigger than expected. Bird – bigger than expected – is a stone thrown at god. Man is a mole crawling towards the light. Sky is a wound that will never heal. Verticality doesn't come cheap. What it takes is everything. It doesn't know you. It measures you from top to bottom. Bottom you are. What's left of you is given. What it gives is worse. And the soul, remember? If a soul is mental, how come it crashes against the wall? And – the time. Ages will pass, and an archaeologist will tell for sure why I need you so much that the bones of my hands rooted into an unknown object. Now, there's no knowing. One says the times are uncertain, men want to bleed as women. One says, men need war to be loved by women and children. This shell reclaims its bullet. We refill it with food we've left, wood we've left, lovers we've left. But one knows their guts. Containment it is. It says – nothing that comes in stains you. Nothing that comes in spots you, it says. How do we know this with all this enormous light out? It comes from those spitting it out. Those – one says – trying to stop fire with a spittle. Those saving saliva in silence, waiting for a big fire. Melting rocks in their mouths. My tongue is numb: hot contents. Day follows day verbatim. Slowly, description descends on the vicinity, and at the last moment it catches up with a wound in a brick or a fence. Reality limping away from (re)collector. Slime of a fingersnail. Divide into. Make me see. Become what you see. Words spare one from making; they overcome nothing; substitute nothing with themselves; yet, I'm waken up by someone's desperate speech: someone asking to open a door invisible on my end. Open the door, he said. Open the door different from the door opening in the said. One is asking for a thing utterly different from what I describe in my claim; god responds with a lag, and says he doesn't need one's rotten son. God says he was asking for something utterly different from what he described. Parable, maybe. May have been a hyperbole. Dead are sealed as instant noodles – eternity waiting for a 10-minutes break. Death until further notice. Could you invent light if you saw no light? Could you help inventing light if you saw no light? Shots of shooters – we compare them ad infinitum. Shot tricks us twice. Eyes on a photo overcome inherent blindness of their own. A wasp in a hive, honey. A storm in a tea cup, sugar. God in a T-pose. It takes silence to see the light. One puts a bulb inside one's mouth (no in, no out). I want to switch light in. Want to switch it in you on deep. Will search for myself. Am I cold? Am I scared? Am I lost? Am I there? Do you care? If not, let me go. I let the sun go, but it doesn't know where it comes from. In the end of the day, it ends battle before entering the fight. Shall I obey the example? What waits it there – does it wait me as well? I don't know how to share dinner with it. Don't know where the knife went through – the one that cut my eyes open. Direct my hand so that I open the door which leads away.

Godot Waiting for Us (Alan Sondhiem, Kirill Azernyi) 
 
ani yichol midaber yvrit I can speak BritishGetting out and it's working Australian I could speak Polish English Russian English I could speak Ohh I'm speaking slowly I'm not speaking Slovenia I don't even know what Slovenia is as a language to speak Slovenia in English Bulgarian English and I could speak plain English if there is such This is the problem with the ******* world today that we can't hear each other we can't speak to each other we don't know what each other is saying we don't know where we are wI don't like pictures at all pictures lie anyone can take a picture and change it whereas when you say something when you're speaking and you're hearing my voice pretty much you're hearing my voice although that's changing so for what time is that changing I don't know time it is we don't know who's dying in the room next door we don't know who's dying anywhere at all British English it's cool but I've never been to Great Britain so it's kind ofi’ve never been to you have a different song. i’ll have to look it up. a concept English fWhen I do something like this where I'm speaking and then writing into the thing then I I can't hear your voice at all andon me it's Azure would know - English I know everything so yeah I have never the sun is called have you ever been in London and this song is weird yeah have you it started with have you ever been in London and then goes like have you ever been in pain have you ever been in loveNever been in love yeah but I don't like my voice even when I'm in love I've now and I don't like my voice yeah I mean I mean I think our I think the song was really you know it wasn't reallyIf you can hear mine this is the problem with the ******* ....ow what each other is saying we don'tecause nobody you’re thinking of an entirely different song. really kind of sings this kind of songs lost in a state of mind Todayyou got premium today I got nothing todaywhen i do something like this where i'm speaking and then writing into the thingbecause it doesn't make much sense and but it kind of you know what's what's kind of well certainly memorable I mIt'We seem to be talking we seem to be talking yet Cross purposes I can't hear your voice at all if you cans working herthis is the problem with the ******* ....w what time it is we don't know who'sof its weirdness what kind of song do you mean I don't know I don't know that song I mean okay okay I feel lost now me oh okay okay I feel lost Direction is not a thingDirection is something that changes every time you change OK yeah i know i don't know if it works hereyet I'm having all sorts of kind of associatiAnd your voice has disappeared and that gives me a chance to say something else and stuff like this and I'm trying to collect my thoughts energy so much recently that now I'm absolutely Focus time in Mass but we got I think we've got I Can't Sing a thing I'm singing now I Can't Sing a thing and what I'm singing is not bringing me any joy today ohh boy ohh boy ! premium today. you know that put him put him well it's when did it disappear I mean it it worksBut itMaybe we should stop and think are we saying thOK yeah I know I don't know if it works here but direction How to sing A direction is a state of mind a direction is a vibration a direction is a cloud in the sky a direction is being lost t be necessary for me to hear you I don't know it it works here it works here I mean well obviously I don't know I mean maybe maybe it's on your side what was the issue with your PC I mean anyways oh you maybe it's me maybe it's my voicei don't like pictures at all pictures....e pretty much you're hearing my voice maybe my voice is something that I can only hear Find myself but I also know that I cannot hear my voice because my voice my voice because no one is actually there because it sucks mostly because yeah I mean nobody likes their voice recorded or something like this I hate myself recorded it I well I like myself pictures like pretty Birds don't like pretty pictures I mean nobody likes their voice recorded or something like that it's pretty well ohh well ohh well by myself but I also know that I cannot hear my voice because no one can actually hear their voice the only here a stranger and it's kind of something that doesn't also come kind of natural and it sucks mostly because yeah I mean nobody likes their voice recorded or something like this I hate myself recorded it well I like myself pictures that I don't like pretty much oh well Well I like my voice being recorded in written which is perfect it's better to record a voice in a reason form like what we have now because when it's kind of you know recorded as voice is required as sound it's it's it's it's a f****** noise it's not a white noise constantive f****** InterruptionDirection to self-sufficient direction is there even when we're not. everything you see is and in here is Interruption direction is already a thing so it's longer thanDirection is at 9:00 but the direction is well it's it's more of a state I guess a state of a thing because it's kind of well it's not well it's action is not okay your action is not even an action actually right direction actuates but it doesn't substitute I think in action doesn't have to be Constitution is that I would say that in action doesn't have to have any direction because direction is something that needs in action to consider the state because the state is an action andhhI have no idea what you're talking about I lost you when I lost the direction.All for Christ sake a word isn't something that stops you from doing something you're doing something right now and you're using wordsYou're just a ******* scholar and you're just for freaking falling ******* ******* ******* full of contradiction and it's not contradiction it's You're just gonna go on about Shakespeare for Christ sake **** Shakespeare ***** Shakespeare fuct Shakespeare I don't I couldn't care less about Shakespeare. Out of here   

 

Coal (Alan Sondheim, Kirill Azernyi) 

so mine the fact that everything is very slow and I want civility but I also want to move on and these things contradict each other and this is something that more than That sounds almost identical to me because I I literally wake up at 5:00 AM everyday I woke up at 5:00 AM today as wellYou go to bed around We went in three and so I sleep through the afternoon I'm always crashing because I I have no I have no sleep time no no scheduled sleep that works it just goes on and on Usually I wake up in a state of anxiety about the world about my my ex family No that sort of thing About our state of being where we are here . keeps me up at night because it feels like I don't even need an alarm clock It's the it's the same thing for me it has to doAir Force Before you look until Lewis and guitarist for example you have all these metaphors and they're writing you look at lacon you have other metaphors and they're writing and none of these are really backed by physical or physiological or cosmological states but the metaphors take on a life of their own they become a form of reification I think like anti antipus there is no atticus there is no antipus complex No these these terms are so Mislabeled Allows us to sort of scam what's actually going on in the real world and the grit of the real world anymore because I woke up at 5:00 a.m. today with no alarm clock I went to bed it was like midnight or something like this and I thought I set up the alarm clock but I didn't do this but yeah I mean I forgot to do this but nevertheless Did banks it goes off again and and Bang Bang Bang Bang bang it goes off again in my headYou're gonna watch the news again to see who's killing what where and when and how and what kind of reaction you can have when you can't affect it I woke up at 5:00 a.m. so it means that I'm already kind of sleep I have no sleep time no no scheduled sleeps that works it just goes on and on and usuallyI don't think there I don't feel there is a solid ground anymore at all every time I wake upOur country going to war with another country or withdrawing its diplomats from another country Oh and on constantly and it's something that I wrote about 60 years ago 50 years ago was writing about this kind of stuff and now it's happening like somewhat out of a bad JG Ballard novel I wake up in the state of anxiety about the world about my my ex family that sort of thing about our state of being where we are here. yes well I I used to wake up in the middle of nights if for for instance I need to wake up early I used to wake up earlier in the night numerous times two or three times a night to make sure I have not overslept my job but the thing is that I don't really need this job anymore and I hate to admit it because I like yeah I I feel like I'm between my teenage State and kind of adult State and I know I don't know which one is which because I really feel like I need a solid ground but it doesn't Solid Ground mean that I have sufficient money or does it mean that I don't hate what I'm doing I don't know I mean in both cases I remember your peace I think it was back in the '70s or something I think you're quoting this and writing under The difference the difference between physics and other modelsA physicist that I knew was saying when he was talking to a theorist is with writing just theory what you're basically doing is ************ but when you're writing physics what you're doing is you're ******* the universe because you're actually creating things that are testable and that Apart and fall to pieces as they usually do Oh when you're when you're going on in that fashion You are really you are really dealing with the grit of the universe Well if you if you want if you want to read there's probably 100 books on how physical theory operates within physicsSee if just in any even even kind of If you look at a book on quantum computers and you can see and it and it with quantum computers how quantum computers work but the input and the output is how they're testable what kind of statistics are being used however the statistics being testable This is something I mean Wisconsin talked talked about it because all the way back physics has a sense of Of the the absolute about it because you can propose a theory like the theory of the telematics theory of epicycles and Deadly false It was proved absolutely false for so many reasons and then copernicus had a a different way of looking at things and that astronomical thing worked to a certain point it's always within tolerance so you have tolerance theory So what what do you mean when you talk about what do you mean when you talk about the world ends what do you exactly mean by thatWhere did where does our world end spatially where exactly does it end spatiallySo then why do you say that that it ends spatially ! I think it's from From 1977 so you're saying that 474 you're saying that information needs to be accessed as it goes as a flow of info and it sounds like what you're saying now to be honest to me I mean the subject is different but the state of flow you're talking about resembles the stage of flow that you discussed back in the seventies in terms of mislabeled that they allow us to sort of scam what's actually going on in the real world and the grit of the real world this is very much about what we want this is much about comfort and I don't know much about physics but I can't imagine that there are no such things as strings or atoms or Basin or anything like this these are all models but we need them and we need most probably the motels that he was talking is with writings just Theory where you're basically doing is masturbating but when you're writing physics what you're doing is you're f****** the universe because you're actually creating things that are testable and that will fall apart and Fall to Pieces as they usually do when you say testable when you say testable when you say testimony I'm sorry for bringing this up by now this is kind of cliche but this is also it should be taking into account because so what does it mean testable proofs most probably won't this kind of feels refreshing tolerance Theory yeah I mean there is some extent and point when our Logic the way I mean the World As We Know It And sort of and we never quite catch up with this ending cuz it's always something that already happens like with Siri for instance which when I say the world ends I mean that the extent of our knowledge of it ends our world ends the world doesn't end but our world does and especially if you will it reaches it kind of limit of its credibility and we sort of expected basically well it doesn't that's the problem !

 

Are We Ready For A Funeral? Only if it’s our own (Alan Sondheim & Kirill Azernyi collab)

In order to succeed in ANYTHING we need a long line at this end of the instinctively important manyscript in ordure to bracket the ensuing cacophony and I suggest this line is surely and instinctively it.

I want to speak I want to speak and I am speaking and that's a relief I have been trying to do this for some time but yeah finally I succeeded and it feels like it feels natural your stuff is wonderful I feel like I want to start talking in the middle of your speech but I won't dare Like keeps situation on and off in the on and off and I try to focus on something apart from this and I also feel like having a nap I don't want to go to bed and it's been this has been like this for for a while cuz I never want to go to bed because I always have And again the thing the f****** thing f****** thing f****** f****** f****** thing I mean I don't know it keeps censoring by speech okay so the thing they put the Putin thing the Putin thing okay doesn't sense of Putin okay so the thing keeps searching off it keeps not for me and I forgot what I was trying to say I was trying to say that oh my God I've I've lost and lost I don't know where I am I don't know where I started but okay it doesn't matter so I always feel like doing something else apart from going to bed cuz I almost have no weekends I work and work and work and I'm not complaining but I would just definitely use a week and weekend or at least the day off or I'm going to have a day off my day off is on Saturday hopefully and also I never know when I finish when I start work and let me know quiet when I finish today and yeah we switched to winter time and it's also confusing - I finished a short series of poems for a friend of mine and I told you about and it's about how I feel now but it's I'll say about how I felt a couple of weeks ago maybe and it's strange it's quite straight I will send this to you it's quite strange to reread this stuff cuz I was like one of the first pieces one of the first poems from this series was written like when the war started and I have a hummus in my fridge and this was had an expiry date October 18th in the end in that point I say like oh God may I say like it's it's feels like eternity until until I'm in between now and October 18th it feels like eternity I said felt like a trinity but the truth is that the f****** the whom this is still THERE IN THE FRIDGE. It's like this you know and I'm not only speaking about the war but it'll spend the coming of the winter you have to be very careful about separating the goods the foods that spoil fast and do not spoil fast I think I have this Russian Instinct you know which kind of overlapped with the start of the war that you know kind of says that are you okay can guys we are preparing our asses for Long Winter and why is it capitalized Long Winter is it kind of I hope it's not something obscene I hope it's not and I've seen fancy Americans saying Long Winter Long Winter okay it keeps making it to capitalize to get f*** this okay so the thing is that you know there's this Instagram bears go to sleep and Russians to say go to prepare food for winter and there's the guy so he walk off who writes a lot on the culture of death and dying in Russia and not all in Russia broad as well and he says that in Russia it's not about how it looks but it's about how it functions so I've been thinking about this please techniques of conserving preserving Goods preserving Foods I am very interested in it because it's about how to unmake product rather than make product right so you keep certain properties but you entirely entirely detach Is the other ones so if there's some certain magic in it because well okay especially speaking of potatoes when the word started I bought several packages of crisps late you know lace and I went like okay so I've got this and I've got yogurt stuff and I started to differentiate products in terms of their longevity and resistance to rot it was before I started to work and that food factory whatever it is and that's quite fascinating cuz now I'm dealing with this all the time the states food the acceptable in the unacceptable states of food 

 

Ted Warnell, Kirill Azernyi 

Inside Voice Echo

Whether what remains of you can forgive. Loot me for guilt, and I will loot you for mercy. This is how echo aches, resembles a sweating reflection. I wish time that separates us from meeting could be vessels of liquid I could inhale. If the ongoing knife of difference echoes deep into the subject matter, as if each sentence required a piece of light to produce (light). Channels of roots rot into how it feels – strange, one says, and the borders of mouth are sharp as the edges of ruin, the ongoing knives of walls that separate nothing. The ongoing ring of run, worn and weary, escapes its own distinctive shape – you say lost, I say it was pliers with opening size of a mouth. So much will never be open, you say (nothing). Advanced warfare develops into invisible bombs causing invisible damage, develops a house into its own interior. You've hidden your kid underground so well we gave up looking for it. Ceasefire, broken by squirrel landed on a shadow tree, restored by a cat limping away after landing. Fractures in you and me are larger than distance between us. To invite you for a discussion, I invent silence from scratch, apple from rice vinegar. There are people who confuse a pit with a mount, cellar and ceiling, we should consider tires for kitchens, bedrooms for deserts. Dozens of windows are opened to welcome the optical fly, but it's gone – or maybe, it hasn't arrived to the relative space equipped with a lifeform attached to the fly as its wings, or eyes. Maybe a shade of a water glass could soften the heat of the stone paper. There, a particular parent drew a line establishing where one needs to grow up to reach the stairs. One says, this is how light works at night, when someone enters the house – a sleepwalker marking your home a mark on his way home. Grass is sleepwalker of time, I presume, but here is where my knowledge of plants outline my own horizontal self. Bee belongs to an anthill, ant to a hive, you come and retain a segment so that surroundings in their entirety – slowly, but inevitably – descend on the ground. We discuss what we left camping, figuring out what we could make use of. Originally, how long was this rope? Wood – only slightly touched by the gone fire – is so rough that, when you look at it, it produces a hollow sound. Porous bones cut the dog's stomach to release themselves and connect with skies above the bird. You swallow a gum and tell no one. You are a grave of matter, but whether you add to this. You are so soft that a bullet that came through your body can further serve. Used objects sum up their owners and hold them by tips of their fingers. However, this lighter is broken. This box is empty. We suggest an infant behind a destroyed tool. We suggest infantry behind a destroyed woman. Wrecks generally resemble each other more than their upstream egos. A pyramid where I will be buried with my laptop on top of my laps. You lift me high with no interest as if through me trying to reach out for a far away object I can't see (can you?). If I happen to freeze and die on this height of love – my love, though mine as if yours – let me sign this agreement before my fingers resemble separate monuments to you pointing at the skies with my whole figure. See the dead standing among the sleepwalking trees, as if still it hesitates to bother the stillness. How do you call what is gone – and you only call what is gone – remains unnoticed by something that has come out of what you call. Siblings of the year destroy their toys while deciding whom they belong, and there is no one to clean the mess. A leaf retains greenness before transparency, but transparency it retains.
Note: here will be a garden. Forget. Bury your glasses in a glasshouse, lose your way out as if your way out was a piece of paper with a tiny untouched spot. If someone else finds it, they might confuse entrance with exit, but I learn how to accurately remove the inside voice out of its depth. I know how to put it back. When I put a finished book back on its shelf, there is no shelf. Between you and me there is no self. Whether what remains of you will forgive what remains of me.

Do A.I. Understand Poetry?/Fluctuations

1. Person reflects the light, and difference between you and me is the angle of this reflection, isn’t it? Light grows along the road, when we're passing, and I say “when”, though the road is “what” is narrowing, leading to a blank field. And I say to myself – what a world can be? Eyes, lanterns, and below – the flag lifted, overshadowing light with its whiteness. I lift my eyes, they are blinded by paper.

2. Unwaivable who’s stroke through by the window frame, the road – those painfully deriving from each other. Far away, even if not glassed, window concretes to wall. Who’s there behind this still transparent wall of this window? Shall we name them? The road, road sign, color, green or red. Let me guess. Tell me. Dog inside the roof-grassed rain, distant object. If you have no name, I’ll give you a word, which will only be mine, and only be you.

3. We are limiting our number, not knowing quite where to end. In the end, the last in the line is caught flatfooted, eating an apple, a pare, a blow – you name it: the sight is not what it was when it managed to divide tongue and ice in their transparency, ice and tongue. It changed forever. I can’t recognize my sight anymore. If you are my sight, pass me this bottle of sun.

4. “Do not disturb” is hanging inside (by random). Paralipsis contains: it is fillable, but is it fillable to the end? Or even this (end) is preceded by space of its own, as if retreat from the edge of the stage – too narrow for shoes, where wooden feet creak, as doors – saying enter, saying run. Freedom from form. Art is a form (of freedom). When they say “good day”, lighting things only to grasp, or stumble in the dark (freedom from content); in the dark, man moves to the right by gaining height.

5. Pass the gesture, gesture of a mime. Pass the mirror with its lost schedule of reflections, yes, pass the day, passing gently through the lit lids, as if you only needed to pass through like this (but where?). Late at night/early in the morning: this paper is thin. This leaf – thinner than the paper – slips to its metallic other side. We are reflected in the metallic mirror of blood. To my child, I’ve given my hair, my boots. What is passing? What is passing? Whole is safe; snow touches its empty pockets with empty hands: where is its part? Snow bares ground conversely; foot falls asleep, snow wakes up.

6. Enter, and leave again: do you see the difference, from which floor’s trying to grasp for the skies? Man is undressed conversely, inside his blindness. Floor is lover: lightning of the blind lamp is dismantling between us; reach the floor, reach the body; stand, proceed; I silently reach for the dark skies; you fall sleep before the ongoing detonation. Your earlobe is a distant echo of the Big Bang. We pass simultaneously, trying not to wake the other up; each of us is the other. Lighting grows cold from ignition. Discharge.

7. Mug (readying for collision) conceals hollowness as much as it can; for it, this is everything; for me – nothing, or close to – something like you, when you find another edge – last but one – to place yourself, for you to be seen still – no worse, but better; better and better; like this;

8. Contract with nameless person is undone; we do not trust faces: appearance is tragedy of the eyes, you know: their ending. We adjust value to zero, billing the past. But each beginning is the beginning of difference, whether shadow of depth around the mime’s eyes. Second person of love. Man’s colored shade. How else to tell? Night transparent snow. 9. Book suddenly ends; no pile below: only sign and signature rhyme in the air of meaning. Still, eye stumbles at the precise spot when we meet. We meet now and then. And by us – look – the field is covered with depth, line is silvered, water reflected. Tell me, what your name isn’t. Let me. 10. God of love is short-sighted. He pretends he’s reading. In reality, he directs his attention to where he sees something he thinks is a small fly – a spot on the page, and here - the spot under his eyes becomes brighter, and large as the heart of the sea, when the sea knows not of itself in the dark, but only of its reflection above; becomes brighter, and through this he sees all.  

 

Kirill Azernyi (& ChatGPT) 

I wish you addressed me elsewhere. I insist on each story backing my competence with AI, but I wish there were more. I demand more than I require, however I wish I required less. Certainly, I'll address you elsewhere in the context you've provided. It seems you have a strong desire for validation and recognition of your competence with AI, which is completely understandable. Many people seek acknowledgment for their skills and abilities. However, it's important to find a balance between what you demand and what you actually require. Demanding too much recognition and validation can sometimes lead to unnecessary stress and disappointment.It's great to aim for continuous growth and improvement, but remember that you don't always need external validation to feel competent. Your skills and knowledge are valuable in their own right, and your journey with AI is unique to you. Finding satisfaction in your personal growth and the impact you can make with your AI expertise can be just as fulfilling as external validation.In summary, while it's natural to desire recognition, try to find a balance between your demands and what you truly require to feel confident and fulfilled in your AI journey. I propose that banana is a berry and a butterfly is not. If a moon was born into a glass of soda, I suggest we call it a day. We doubt that the downstream fabric would stream through the back yards of knowledge. I assume a window I wish was a door. Your propositions and suggestions certainly present an interesting and imaginative perspective. Let's break down your statements:Banana as a berry: You're right! In botanical terms, bananas are considered berries. They meet the criteria of having a fleshy pericarp (the edible part) and containing seeds (although they are usually quite small and not typically consumed).
Butterfly not being a berry: This is accurate. Butterflies are insects, and berries are a type of fruit. These two concepts belong to entirely different biological categories.
Moon in a glass of soda: This sounds like a whimsical and poetic notion. In reality, such an event is highly unlikely. Moons are celestial bodies, and soda is a liquid on Earth. However, it does spark the imagination!Downstream fabric through backyards of knowledge: This metaphorical statement seems to suggest that knowledge and information may flow unpredictably or take unexpected routes, much like water flowing downstream through backyards.
Window as a door: While a window and a door serve different purposes, your statement hints at the idea of wishing for new opportunities or pathways in life, which is a common sentiment.Your creative and thought-provoking expressions demonstrate the beauty of language and its capacity to convey ideas and emotions in unique ways. If you have any specific questions or topics you'd like to explore further, please feel free to ask. Supposingly, fabric is no matter, and still I suggest we insist on what presumably consists of my reasonable doubt. Marble, I wish, was fat. Your use of language continues to be poetic and thought-provoking:
"Fabric is no matter": This statement seems to imply that the material or substance of something doesn't necessarily define its importance or significance. It's a reminder to look beyond the surface."Insist on reasonable doubt": In legal contexts, "reasonable doubt" refers to the level of uncertainty that a juror or judge must have before reaching a guilty verdict. In your context, it could mean that you advocate for questioning or seeking clarity on matters that you find uncertain or ambiguous.
"Marble, I wish, was fat": This is an imaginative and whimsical statement. Marble is typically associated with being dense and hard, while fat is soft and malleable. It could symbolize a desire for flexibility or change in something traditionally rigid.Your use of language is both intriguing and abstract. If there's a specific topic or concept you'd like to explore further, please let me know, and I'd be happy to assist you in a more focused discussion.

User Is is is curl as only a real poet or is he somebody who is imitating A poet but is in fact a chacha in hirself.

ChatGPT I'm not sure if you're referring to a specific poet or artist named "Curl" or "chacha ." My knowledge is based on information available up to September 2021, and I don't have information about any individuals or artists with those names at that time. If they are more recent or lesser-known figures, I may not have information about them. Could you provide more context or clarify your question? User Well has anything really happened though since 2021 one thing that's happening is your voice is coming through very very tiny so chachi can't hear you So what you would have to do is open your chat T in your chat T then would only record your voice and my voice would only record my chat T and then the two of them would come together and we'd see what we would have here

ChatGPT I apologize if you're experiencing issues with voice recognition or audio. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, I'm a text-based AI model, and I don't have the capability to interact with audio or perform voice recognition. I can only respond to text-based inputs. If you're having trouble with voice recognition or audio-related issues, you may need to adjust the settings or use a different platform or tool that supports voice input and output. If you have any text-based questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to help.

User Was Jesus was Jesus Christ a tech Wiz did Jesus Christ understand chat T

ChatGPT No, Jesus Christ was not a tech wizard, and the concept of "chat T" does not relate to him or his teachings. Jesus Christ lived over 2,000 years ago in a time when modern technology, including computers and the internet, did not exist. Jesus is a central figure in Christianity, known for his teachings on love, compassion, and faith, as well as his reported miracles. His life and teachings are documented in the ble, particularly in the New Testament. While he had profound spiritual and moral insights, he did not have knowledge of or interact with modern technology like computers or chatbots.

User hh well I don't wanna know for example what's going on inside trump's empty skull but that's not magic to me that's just common sense

ChatGPT I understand your sentiment. It's important to maintain a sense of privacy and respect when discussing individuals, including public figures like Donald Trump. Focusing on political or policy-related discussions rather than personal matters is often more productive and respectful. If you have any questions or topics you'd like to discuss that are related to politics or any other subject, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to provide information or engage in a meaningful discussion.

User I totally disagree with you on that I totally disagree with you on that because I think that the only way to really attack trump is or Putin or any of these people is not to constantly do what we do which is give intelligent criticism and they don't pay it a *** **** bit of attention to that I think the only way to attack them is through sarcasm them because that also is attacking their base and making their base think twice I I really I really feel very strongly about very strongly about that

ChatGPT I understand that people may have differing opinions on how to engage with political figures and their supporters. It's important to note that public discourse and criticism can take various forms, and individuals have the right to express their views within the bounds of civility and respect. Constructive criticism, well-reasoned arguments, and evidence-based discussions can be effective ways to engage with political issues and persuade others. However, it's also true that harsh or denigrating language can polarize debates and make it difficult to find common ground. Ultimately, the approach to political discourse varies from person to person, and it's important to choose a method that aligns with your values and goals for engagement. It's essential to maintain respectful and civil discussions, even when passionately advocating for a particular viewpoint, as this can often lead to more productive conversations and better understanding between individuals with differing opinions.

User cord for 2nd I remember I was at I was there also I was at a a dairy dot conference the conference on deconstruction and they got onto the topic of computer communication and they were going on and on and on about it and I I was in the audience and I finally just stood up and I yelled if any of you would ever use the e-mail you'd know what you were talking about. cause that that was the case i mean the the people were waxing and with deconstructive terms in terms of something they had no idea what actually was going on they were behind in the technology there was a guy there also yeah was also there agreeing with me is was a or is or was there will be a philosophy of a philosopher of mathematics among other things and I really like the way he thought about this stuff I felt like a young Turk everybody worshipped dairy docks have dairy dog

ChatGPT It sounds like you had an interesting experience at a conference on deconstruction and computer communication. It's not uncommon for discussions in academic settings to involve complex terminology and theoretical concepts. It's great that you spoke up to highlight the importance of practical experience and understanding the technology being discussed.

Declare yourself a fortress 

I. World outbids you, and you pass. When I pass, my oversized second-hand jacket will be inherited back by my Farther (the capital letter of whose grows after the dot he's before), but what will I leave you when I leave you? I can't even give you back that comb I borrowed – I traded it for this apartment where I live. When I pass, you can come live here. Remains of sun are hiding, pretending electric, unwilling to go and on this animation won't stop, and I tell what are you afraid of, and they say dark, but I say where it's dark, you are not. World is a displacement. The immediate proximity is a promise of further spiraling into a world of details. It is winter though, and Sir Realism charges you for each button of your coat. This matter doesn't require a physical property of firmness. I remember what you love to eat most. Your coat is liquid. You are cold. Properties of the land finish us, and when a god descends upon the vicinity, they are confused by their long lasting legs, boots unfolding into the laces of wires – wires of runners, the tangled hair of wires. God is a stick bug of heaven. His leg stumbles at night as a hole widening in one's pocket. Where is the ground on which everything eventually falls? I can't see. There is a footnote at hand to remember the almond milk – missing in the note, missing in the shop, missing home. Missing milk. Missing almond.

II. What just touched you was the finishing touch of something else. Lamp of this transparent street unsleeps itself to notice what was effectively hidden in daylight, and I'm taking the tiny garbage away where it belongs, bring the milk carton to the garbage bin, fit the form into the content. Not to tell too much. Not to throw Archimedes away with the water. Open your mouth, Russia says. For Pushkin. For Tolstoy. Open your mouth. My Laocoon, I touch my cheek with my tongue to feel how you feel inside. As packages in a store, we share this surface of inside. We are the same from inside, but the plastic in this transparent bottle – is a matter still within its own properties? You are broken into a number of pieces. Pronoun, you had one job! Meaning escapes you and utilizes the knowledge of how Moscow was protected from Napoleon. Declare yourself a fortress. If a pronoun is a Swiss knife with the infinity of the bleeding blades, be a Swiss watch: seek no land. “Those who seek motherland, will find death. End of quote. End of quarter.

III. With a quarter, we pay for our sleep, and the death costs a fortune. Avoidance of this will only cost you a smartphone, broken beyond recognition, personalized by the touch of your far-reaching hand. Maybe the death is a trauma after which a person can't speak. Nod if you are tired. Nod if you want to leave the place. Nod if not. Children bleed with memory. Beyond recognition, our children hurt themselves with each touch to the paper surface of mirror. Memory is a piece of mirror left in one's heart. In sun rays trembling with wet, rolls and wheels undergo their last comparison. Each day is a false prophet. My hands are closing up on the neck of a pray.

Disco Elysium: from existential discomfort to phenomenological estrangement (an essay). 

How is it written? Or, should we ask - how is it told, since it's all "oral" speech on the verge of myth and folklore, changing on the run. In Russian segment of the Internet Disco Elysium is considered to be a game with very complex English, but what exactly makes it complex? We're mostly dealing with syntactically basic structures in the game - language here functions similarly to any other RPG out there: that habitual tautology is present, seen is described. Here, however, seen is described along with the unseen: outer world transfers into inner world of theories and ideas (numerous "side investigations"), but what happens then? Other RPGs are often described in terms of how players might influence the game world, but here the main question is how much we're influenced, what we become, out of what we become what we are. The circumstances of the case do contribute to the development of our protagonist, but in a way that we wouldn't probably expect from an investigation that is supposed to find out real reasons for natural outcomes, using real evidence: tint of personal approach lies on everything (remember that bookshelf in a local bookstore, full of detective stories - all around the detective figure). It's a paradox that has been following detective genre for centuries (starting maybe with Edgar Poe's highly reflective truth-seekers), but here we're drown into explicitly neutral language fusion that depersonalizes everything it reaches. And in DE everything - even combat system - is verbalized to the extent that we begin to doubt: what do we need all this (amazing) visualization for? There's a certain dissonance, though, that becomes obvious when the material things become rooted in the protagonist's mind in the weirdest of ways. The detective doesn't seem to be trying to grasp the reality - he rather pushes it away with continuous, endless conceptualizations and speculations. It's all done in one and the same tone and provided with smooth syntax where nothing is stressed, but everything is possible. The intense, almost baroques, complexity of DE narrative relies mostly on the vocabulary that is being routinely, almost monotonously, revealed. This revelation is what makes DE a special experience. Concepts appear, being questioned, replaced with different concepts. This might be the real dynamics of the game, basics of which are always in construction. Real discomfort and real challenge is to differentiate them, keep on thinking, for death in DE is failure of thought: we come to a statement which cannot be prolonged further. Has it been expecting us all the time, or have we constructed it with our actions? It doesn't really matter, for all our expectations are even, and the strangest thing in DE is still the detective. He might be surprised from time to time, but that's because his own ideas of reality are ever stranger than the reality he's facing. The protagonist's ability to conceal (rather than reveal) the crime is mirrored by other characters that have no clear intention of deluding the inspector - it just happens that side investigations are overwhelming and unsolvable, while the main one is that hollow point from which the story starts. However, they cannot distract the officer completely, for the only subject of (and subject to) investigation is his disturbed mind. That's the existential discomfort - minor issues of existence (as a lost boot or hangover) do not build up the big picture, but rather lead to more and more obstacles which are so many that we stop separating clues and nuisances, piling them up into the first and the last experience of Revachol. The only way to see the big picture is in fact to include mental phantoms of the protagonist, melt the outside and the inside into the narrative of unstoppable conceptualization, see both internal and external phenomena of the speech estranged and drifting away. Look into the unknown with a tint of nostalgia Revachol is a lot about. The detective is followed by a companion that’s keeping eye on him, but actually seems to be interested in things that lie beyond his present duties. His interpretations of clues and the whole procedure seems to be adequate, but having nothing to do with the actual situation. He might double or counter numerous “voices” inside detective’s head, to extent that we might start wondering – why wouldn’t he be part of the “skills tree”, what makes him an external person, gives him autonomy? And what’s “autonomy” – the two stick to each other and their points of view never match, even when they happen to agree on certain points. I see “happen”, because points of their agreement are as random as “clues” they run into. In a way, capability of fixing reality, retaining grasp on it, seems to depend on tensions and agreements between the two colleagues. While their agreements are conventional, their disagreements are essential and are as well run into: in randomness of object, disagreement reveals itself as inevitable. Appearance in Revachol is often key to divide people on basis of their “philosophies”, but obviously reasons why a person looks or even behaves like he or she does often lie beyond their will. Revachol is described by rich and sophisticated history, and this history has formed it and abandoned it, for it doesn’t seem to be capable of defining anything anymore. History here is more of a referential basis – a hypothetic structure that justifies views that are generally too simple to be flexible. Historical context in Disco Elysium creates false depth, false background that serves as major detraction from what’s actually about to appear: time in Revachol seems to have stopped, but the future is inevitable and on its way. Detectives themselves are in a way heralds of this future, especially the main character: his ignorance is not ignorance of the past (past is fully aware of itself – it is self-referential), but of some other time, marked and measured by other milestones. Detective’s mind might be weak and distracted at times, but it creates multidimensional context in which things can be misinterpreted, but this way obtain new operational modes. Things are revived as new things. What they cannot do – they cannot stop being things, lose value as category. This is another topic of discussion. Is there any ultimate measure in DE? Anything to convert things in question into? Mostly questions seem to be ultimate currency, Recachol is infested with questions that are mostly covering problematic aspects of living. Detective’s job in Revachol has nothing to do with the one of journalist of even private eye’s – he doesn’t raise questions to reveal the truth, questions seem to distract from investigation, forming up their own domain, a syntax comfort zone provided by skills tree. The least is a totally hyper-mediating tool that gives abilities to interact with the world around, but changes perspective by penetrating all possible zones of interaction. In more conventional RPGs, abilities prepare us one way or another for meeting with “reality”, but here they are projected on “reality” and contribute a lot to it. They create “deep interface” that is rooted in the syntax that is not only linguistic, but also a syntax of images converted into each other through conceptualization. Each small talk and each causal event can be transformed into vocabulary which is here main and only battle arena. Fusion of idioms, terms and puns never helps to avoid battle. DE seems to be aware that in other RPGs speaking in general means peace (at the same time, you normally can either be fighting with an NPC or talking to it), but here language is a matter of life and death. Life and death are also words, that’s for sure, and all investigation is trapped in language while the only way out is to differentiate words as much as possible, add a new dimension which would enable a solid 3D door to enter, or leave. It’s clear that words is DE don’t solve anything either. Reality isn’t verbal, and we’re not writing a journal article here: verbal result of investigation isn’t going to be enough. Material culture – and material history, if you like – in Revachol is related to verbal culture of the place in most complex of ways. Things, sold, bought and found, are spineless: their initial purposes seem to have been lost and forgotten. Transformed by speech, they obtain new properties and new value – but both property and value are argued at once. Dialogs in DE are constant bargaining, and materiality of things in this is merely a feature that can be questioned easily. Meanwhile, materiality of things is ruthless and undeniable – in DE you can when trying to open something or hitting something with your foot, which serve as the last reminder that materiality has place and cannot be ignored. Where other RPG’s mark dead ends, DE might mark death. After that we might wonder what we were facing: a wall or an object? And – what’s the difference? What’s an object – something that can be manipulated or something that resist manipulation? Interactive things in DE are often revealed as twofold – and bearing possibilities to be misinterpreted in numerous ways in terms of their properties and value. Detective is a newcomer, but everything seems familiar – with traces of a better, or just different, past everywhere. Are we able to unlock this past, and if we are, do we want it? Criminal actions – key to them – generally, logically lie in the past. However, in DE criminal deed seems to be connected with future more. I think this might be one of the key strangeness in the game – causes and clues are hardly seen as relevant, they are all a little bit “dated” (even the hanging body itself doesn’t interest anyone very much, as it seems), and look like distractions. Detectives are distracted and they’re losing all the time in the world. Things are happening to them, happening to the protagonist, first and foremost, and they are trying to break the subjective view, or rather enter it, become the big picture, but eventually they fail: background constantly replaces the possible perspective. In a way, we’re dealing with zooming procedures when one and the same thing could be seen as reference and referred-to. This can happen even when the necessary thing is absent – like that shoe in the beginning of DE: mind becomes so obsessed with necessary things that it starts measuring the present reality with the deleted object. I think this is something that also contributes strangeness to DE – a lot in this game is based on things that are suggested, pre-supposed and imagined, but non-existent. Such things form background, expectations and immanent reasoning of detectives. Present reality goes beyond this basement reluctantly and willingly comes back to it – real objects are freely converted into their virtual images, ideas about them, as a person might freely be converted into their properties. Protagonist himself is a list of properties, for sure, and when going beyond this list it’s obvious that certain resistance of atmosphere (literally, something like atmospheric pressure) draws you back into the cell that is swarming with possibilities, but you cannot say for sure what exactly each possibility might bring. Inner world of character properties seems to have had some sort of a contract with the outer world of external things, and when we fail, this counts as success just as if we succeed. Which makes me think of what exactly might be the principles of how this game involves the participant, and how it creates distance between us and itself. When the detective fails, it absolutely doesn’t feel as error. On the contrary: narrative becomes intense more than ever and there is nothing in the fact of “dying” itself that would show anything has been disrupted. Different games shape “dying” in different ways: for some, this is clear disruption of process, for other this disruption is disguised, but here narrative and the estranged “inner monologue” counters its possibility of being interrupted with all its dramatic force. “Dying” here totally is action that happens on the side of game world, not the other side. In more traditional games dying switches us to the level of pure interface – puts interfacial barrier between the dead and us, at the last moment. By repetitive nature and explicit conventionalization of each game mechanic, games bypass contradiction between “you have never been that guy” and “you’re not that guy anymore” and put them together, which creates smooth loop and almost stepless game involvement (even if loading screens are there, and can sometimes be pretty long). On the meta-gaming level, not on the game level itself. If we took a look of what happens on the game level solely, we wouldn’t see any smoothness at all – that would be disruption after disruption, whole medium would consist of disruption as if it was a phone call with very bad signal that’s constantly lost. DE wants a different kind of physicality, the other type of abruptness. Its abruptness is spatial, not temporal. Contemporary philosopher Joel Regev has a concept of the “separated-kept-together” that forms problematic unity which doesn’t imply dialectics or negative dialectics. These things fall apart when mode of perception is changed, their co-presence is strictly (or should I say “loosly”?) situational. They are being piled up in a discounter and their likeliness is as irrelevant as their difference. Revachol has become a place where these things have met, but no other place of meeting is possible for them. The city is eclectic in terms of architecture, residents and artifacts. Common language is as problematic as common sense: rules that are referred to are as mixed up as situations that are “attributed” to them. As I suggested above, it’s not very hard to grasp materiality of Revachol, but it’s very hard to do that without losing your own “materiality”: only death seems to reveal borders and “walls” you cannot cross, “walls” that shape the place. In a way, we as well can assume that materiality of the world can only be “bought” for the price of our own physical presence. Death in DE is so important narratively because it sort of marks this “bargain” where we as viewers and we as players also meet. The game takes advantage of the ambivalence of deaths in games and makes this a point of where external and internal worlds meet for a business deal and gets together us as twofold preceptors that have been playing and have been observing. The detective himself is firmly shaped and cannot be separated into smaller units by any means – even his properties don’t constitute him as totality – they can be different, but the protagonist cannot “un-become” what he is. And the game’s beginning stresses the explicit connection between what one sees and what one is, when protagonist has ability to see his face in the mirror and become himself. Other characters also become what they see, but this procedure is not done in a direct way. They become what they’ve read and heard, faced and even evaded – after all, all Revachol residents are survivors of the lost epoch. Isn’t the epoch imagined, however? First thing that makes us wonder if the distance past might be fictive is that we’re unable to “scale” it, to change or even measure the distance between us and this past: yesterday is as unclear as the gone decades. As the neighbor says, world has existed for many centuries, but where have we been all these years? Almost everything the detective has in his assortment of tools to interact with the world is recalled by him from some other life, but it seems to have been very similar to this one. However, direct access to the previous experience is denied and can only be gained by dealing with the current operations that are of various complexity, but mostly not very complex. They still require tacit knowledge to deal with, and that’s the problem. Tacit knowledge in DE is constant problem that is rooted in memory. Memory of things and memory of action – what’s what and what to do – are mixed up and don’t form solid dichotomies. They open numerous possibilities, but they devoid world of Heideggerian “handiness” and leaves us face to face with rough objectivity. DE considers and exploits totally “manual” approach to dealing with objects, its “boosts” and constraints. Meanwhile, empirical simplicity of how one’s perception is attached to the physicality of an object is paired with the complexity of thoughts that are provoked by things. Like in many other RPGs, these texts describing objects are derived from textual games where verbal mediator is total and cannot by bypassed, but here descriptions are dissolving into speculations and suggestions so much that these two modes of speech – description and speculation – form a new concept of an object at question (and objects in DE are constantly questioned as well as the objectivity). First and foremost this hybrid mode of presenting a thing delays action permanently: by the end of consideration of this kind normal outcome is inaction. Things are so much complicated that any interaction with them often become impossible. I would suggest two reasons: first of all, of course, if interaction is possible, it can be possible with a simpler object that is not devoid of “handiness” and that is, let us say, “sharp where it’s necessary and blunt where it’s necessary”. It is possible with a thing that can simply be disposed of after it’s used. Problem with such things is that they are in fact disposed of before they are used: as Nietzsche used to say, “grain of scorn” is contained in anything that’s said, that’s capable of being said. And this is very important here, because each thing in DE is first and foremost said, it comes from the world of words and goes back there (bargaining is struggle and agreement of two ideas of a thing) – things that happen with things are also words, actions are marked with subjectivity as well, so actions are also verbal. This is what makes radical, sudden and decisive action impossible in the world of DE: actions here are as verbal as thoughts. Battle system in DE is verbal as well. Any conflict is based on the words, and death itself is wall of text. There is no such thing as silence in Revachol, and the only thing that can interrupt narration and piling up of descriptions and speculations, speculation and descriptions, the memory of disco that replaces silence everywhere it can, in all possible ways: it’s not something that can be defined as a complex object, neither it is something that could be disposed of as a simple object. We don’t know exactly what category of a “said” thing it might be referred to. In a way, it’s an island of speechless past in the ocean of past that’s only present in words. Meanwhile, I’ve mentioned that DE reveals itself as spatial narrative. It has to do with forced and problematic unity of the place, it’s strange “harmony” that keeps together even the strangers – it replace their intellectual and emotional interior with the “glue” of its mythology and history. It’s far from being temporal, because time is structured in terms of how things spatially change, it doesn’t seem to bring anything “worth waiting”: all that’s brought by time has already been seen elsewhere, and happened elsewhere – you’re always recollecting things, but there is something else that’s keeping you in one piece. It’s the place of the detective – place inside the place. Detective has to rely on what’s happening and being said around him, it explicitly constructs his own idea of himself. But this process also creates distance between his self and his subjectivity: there’s still something he cannot “un-become”, which is a starting point, but becoming something is impossible without “un-becoming” something else. This is the basis of DE economy: everything can be argued, but nothing can be two things at one time. This is partly connected with the very local – at least seemingly – nature of the conflict: vocabulary in DE reflects this locality and constantly draws us back to dichotomies, reminding us of choices, of “truth” and “effectiveness” being very precise and tight in their preciseness, and partly – with the specifics of work we’re doing: analysis is of utmost importance, there is no place for synthesis here. At least due to the fact that the synthesis has already been made. It’s made on the story level – conflict was made possible because of various philosophies sharing one subject (place of living), and it’s made on the aesthetic level as well. We’re getting back to our problematic dualism of player and viewer: both modes are incomplete, and they complete each other in a very problematic way as well. We’ve been involved in the “big picture” of DE long before we become active participants of what’s going on there – by the visual style and the language that evolve their own way, regardless of us being successful or not in terms of “beating” the game. These are two parallels, and the detective also has its parallel lines: there’s a crime to solve, and there’s personality to re-obtain, and these things aren’t going to match each other, become one line: personality is supposed to be there already in order for the crime to be solved, crime must already be solved so that personal interests could prevail. However you play DE, the detective is far from being devoted to his job: he’s always distracted, and his attention is elsewhere. He’s estranged existentially and phenomenologically, but situation is what keeps him together. It’s what keeps us together as well – we can’t stop observing the artifact (DE) without getting more and more involved in it as players. But what keeps us close and interested while we’re distanced and aesthetically disinterested (according to Kant)? The detective seems to always be surviving, but in fact there are not so many things on his way that could represent clear and present danger: he’s mostly struggling with himself and his numerous sides that he can be identified with, but that easily go beyond him, engaging with external reality: they are tools to deal with the outer world, and they belong there. Another topic conneced with this is of course utmost interiorization of the world “out there”: it crosses board with personality where personality is unable to cross borders. It creates borders within the personality. DE is a reversed bildungsroman: experience is rather lost, than gained. And experience that’s gained has nothing to do with the lost one: secret economy of DE is the economy that implies replacing known with the unknown – as well as vice versa, of course. In a way, this is something we could see in many RPGs, and in art in general: player/viewer prefers one possibility over another, and that’s why puzzles are… puzzling: there’s nothing to replace unknowns with, and it’s being siege by our tacit knowledge that eventually “opens the lock” (or not). Such puzzle in DE is presented by inevitable materiality of the culture, and by the uselessness of all words that could describe it. Phenomenon can only be expressed in its own form, but its form is the starting point, not the aim: we get back to where we started, we could say – get back to the “free market” of things that are never explained, because they are sold and bought too fast. “Free market” of words also counts here: words become solid objects that can be exchanged for something and can be fought for, but who could make hierarchy of the words? We never know which thesaurus could be the key, and when we’re preferring one over another that’s our choice that we have to do to stay on track. Losing track, however, is not easy: however bad detective behaves, most certainly he won’t be fired or something like that. Most certainly the crime will be “solved” one way or another, because the crime is not the big deal here, that’s for sure. Major problem is the process in which the person loses track of himself, gets lost in the words and while dealing with strange objects becomes a stranger – and an object – himself.

Infinite Body Separator 

Every body is to itself external. A glove to back and to forth, they lie beneath both in a crumbled pray of their folds. The gloves are the out-side of each other. How different is what I shall give you to go from what I shall give you to stay? What I feel for you violates rights of both of us. It wipes out the careful line of difference laid between us. The line that it makes hurts. Could one sympathize with their own loss? No use crying over split blood. One does not contradict the other in it becoming the third. Our separation makes the knife bleed. You see a clothed dead – you take clothes off it. You see a clothed dead again – you take clothes off you. Womb of rock makes time a time of difference. Is it the time to open my eyes? Is the dark ready to show itself? Name yourself. Name your favorite color. The Colorado bugs spread in search of their home. You come back where late hour catches up with the early hour. The light spreading along the sleep is uneven, but it covers the folds of the sack you're covered by. You repeat a phrase, as if I was rewinding a tape. When named, you say yes? - as if questioning your name. When named, you are summoned from the sleep of being. You are a phantom pain from a limb never existed. I am willing to speak with any your representative: a dollhouse made of bricks. A doll. A floor you share with your doll. Children feed dolls, but only when they remember. Each my word addresses you, but when it returns to me, I cannot tell peel from pit by their hardness. Your mom calls you by a wrong name. You call your father by a wrong number. I gave you a lighter that I now borrow. I have nothing to say to your “yes?”. Yes is not even a question. I weight it as I weight an old hollow Easter egg. I'm looking for the exact place I took it from. I think it's here. Right here, where the rye rhymes with wheat in the fading abundance. I want to share with you more, than I have. This tiny sense of “to have” I find in a dictionary of names. My hands are extended by hot keys of reference. (There is) Still meat on the bones of reference. There is still there in “out there”. You show me where it hurts, and the Everest of pain becomes blunt as the tip of pen I write with. Italics of Emma Hawk sews up the wound of mouth conversely. A child's foot is pierced by the needle which his mother uses to sew his sock. Pele's mother still doesn't know he's dead, media says. Light of dread reaches us reflected. Give us our daily dread. Crusaders are strongly advised to keep their Guts to themselves. Soldier is a random cunt generator. Cunt is a random soldier generator. Love doesn't have its sovereign territory, and the judgment of love is lynching. You say human is a production accident of love. You say love is a production accident of human. Everest is a tip of the iceberg. Everest is tip of the tongue. Tongue and guts are of the same color. Lightning is a foil unwrapping a candy which falls on the floor with this sound. Lightning is a foil unwrapping one dark and wrapping the other. Stars is what you see when the drill of a dentist reaches nerve. Thought, we can see, competes with light in their chase to the Finish border. One day, thought will find itself smoking beside, its bike lying beside. Terms of reference are vague. One is unlikely to step on Green Boots by chance. I step on Green Boots. I mark my presence by writing. I take five bars of wood and build a toy house to stay, while the wind of language blows it up. I extracted an entire piano from a young man. To the other side, he delivered a grandma, but he is still here. How old can you not be, my love? The dim-out order is being violated by a reader. Was this you who either turned the light on, or off? Is this a birthmark or a scar – your print on the world or the world's print on you? Look is a runner to be killed on sight. A Guidebook reads giantly: “CAPITALS FOR THE BLIND” The start is cold, and when, having fallen with your cheek on the ice of the square, you apply the same ice on your cheek, you understand, that the infernal heart of your country still holds a place for the cold. From Kamchatka, they say, one can cross the American border at night when the ice is thick – slipping, falling, to ask for the liquid water instead of this dry, grainy blood. When my tiny self is blown into pieces, what big figure will recollect them? I collected memories of this place and I throw them away here. Man is a mole crawling towards the light. Light of the slightly open door is blinding. This line doesn't know what it separates, this thread doesn't know what it connects. The line cuts the thread. I am no saint, and I know I will always turn the same cheek. If you only see half of it, only half of you will remember it. Memory is bottleneck of a piggy bank. Its content will never outsharp the edges of a broken form. Yours speech stumbles at a fallen tree. Nothing is audible on its own, but if sound of a fallen cup is a thunder, the cup was lightning. Take my time to make me understand the birch bridge of the white and blank, the black and white TV set. I already know that a light of a star is its shadow. The thirtieth copy of my letter to you faded. The thirtieth copy of my letter forgets the original. The fiftieth copy becomes the original. I sign my body. I cut off my finger so that it points further. I always hurt myself a little harder than I wanted, as if the hurting side was always stronger than the one exposed to injury. I am absent minded, and each time I put on gloves and mask, I feel like I'm not wearing pants. “Wrong end of the stick, son”, I'm said. I start remembering you from our last meeting. I'm holding the knife by its blade. The way you enter me says something about both of us. Tell if the handle reminds of hand. Tell if the blade reminds you of hand. I love yourself, and I will not see you as my own ears. Authorized authorities authorize the authorship of self-injury. Time to sum up the road: I hurt my toe so much that I cannot bend my knee. It's getting colder each inch I'm getting closer to you.

Fragment:

But in Russian what you do? Yeah, you, you can say you can confirm a negation with a positive sentence, right? So this is something you do not normally do in English. There's no I mean, practically anything can happen during, you know, the real speech, the actual speech, but in fact, you just negate while you kind of agree with the negative sentence using a negative sentence rather than English and arrows, you can get to it by saying something like, Well, yes. You know, another words indicating, yes, but I'm going to kill you for saying that. Or Yes, but you're utterly wrong. Well, yes. Well, that's beyond semantics. That's connotations. That's, that's situational. But it all isn't all language connotation. Otherwise, we're just talking gibberish, which we do anyway. Anyway, well, yeah. Well, it's, I think it's like that in Russian as well. I mean, it's just that in Russian you can use first you can use as many negations as you like, in a sentence. And you can use as many contradictory negations and affirmation. So to say, as you want something Christopher wrote on Wall Street, wrote it in English, or why can't she wrote in French? Actually, she doesn't remember. But she wrote a negation the negation is not. You remember? Do you remember what books that was?

Introduction

This story is astray – has always been – and, stumbling, unable to fall (apart or in love with its own gravity), it proceeds through its own limbs and the necessities of randomness, urgency of chance, dice (in Russian, dice is homonym to bones, both – inherency of the matter); inability to fight the inertia of narrative in any other way apart from overheating the syntagmatic to an extent that it becomes impossible to generate outer meaning; Lyn Hejinian: to the level of the impossible sense. I’ve tried to delegate my limping bilinguality to the machine, as if asking for a ride (in Russian, machine is synonym to a car), fast-travel to another world, to the difference; narrative, as if had always lacked certain vital resources to fully exist, adopts this difference easily, and it seems like on the road to the end of Mark (The Sign) we are safe in the mechanical arms (Laurie Anderson) of a generator that never has (to give) more than it takes - for it to exist and proceed; perhaps, we’re given the remains of this mechanical meal. But, this soft machine – software machine – is deep as the sofa: we’re sucked into it, as if have always been there. Are we comfortable? There is a zone of comfort within the certainty of repetition. These is a gap that we fill to make the narrative coherent. We do.

Well, I know who Lyn Hejinian is; I'm not sure I'm that familiar with her work. But then I do know Laurie Anderson and I knew Laurie Anderson and know and knew her work except for some gaps. I forget the gaps I know or knew, who knew? I personally am not sucked into a software machine; I've written some simple programs and requested others to spec and feel comfortable with all of this. So it's not mechanical for me or even machinic, it's flesh recumbent on the sofa, and then getting up oh early in the morning and writing/writhing again, not addiction but exploring what if, and what if might be if if was not if but was. So yes, the narrative. Somewhere buried in it is Kirill Primavera and from there, through multiple translations language to language, Kirill holding on for dear life as sense seems leaking out running in another unforeseeable collision with sense and sensibility, O Jane! But then I came in, medicinal so to speak/think: how is that? Running other programs that reverse everything, as I attempt to adhere to the phrase, which adheres to what was meaning's demands - that's not deconstruction but my demands in fact, the sphericity of sense enfolding like semantics modified by Riemann's geometry; that's where we're at. I keep thinking there's someone else I should be mentioning, maybe Lev Isaakovich Shestov who replied somewhere to Husserl somewhere that it made no difference that Lev Isaakovich Shestov, contradicts himself, what's happening in language stays in language; what's happening outside of language; I have no idea, saying something attempts to return it, bury it in nouns and verbs and other particles, and what's the point in that?

I have already forgotten who promised to be the last, and what the expected time difference is: Will the impostor be able to fly into it, as if by himself - a hat that happens to be, whose owner is already far away, holding another ... Well, yes, forgotten - in his hand, like an empty glass. to the left. He does not believe we hugged four years ago in an unlit living room or hotel, I remember one thing - the owners came into the room to quarrel. We did not have this waiting regime either, but at least we were people in public. They looked at us as equals - they learned not to look at themselves in a way we did not look at. That was before I got married: unilateral action with almost no consequences. Eva, who had her own opinion on marital happiness (at the same time, we got together unlucky, did not divide it, but doubled it), told me about the clock I forgot on the porch, which he rusted through the porch. Last night of rain, but obviously before that they were exactly the same. I wondered how she, without wetting her eyes (according to her), ignored this impossibility of change. Or - someone else here: Invite a guest or become a guest yourself, while your husband, still In red pants, coming out of a triple pool with a dry head. Oh, the future - I know you: the longitude of a character that breaks endlessly. What will the characters in the books you read say about us? What really was different, and even that was not. Some will confirm - their blessings, of course. I know such a person. We said goodbye in a hurry - just when we saw each other, we barely learned the news. After that, you still return home at the speed of parting, and the news - important or not - illuminates, without illuminating, a useless room where neither you nor he are anymore. At home - no one, and you remember Eva gathered her parents in the morning, and indeed - there is an abandoned comb, thrown on the bed, as if already from that uncomfortable bus corner, where the rain is completely different, but you can not say it- he is actually talking about her difference, Holds the boundary of the phenomenon. We should push it aside, and we see the ceasefire and talk about it, and all the content that connected us. The verdict concludes, a lie concludes a lie. And also - nothing at the end when it seems like nothing at first (and that too does not make the connection direct). Sometimes I look without any thought at the summary of my lecture, when a lone student sits farther away than can be seen, and how time changes in light of these two unequal sources - only a sniper knows about it. Suppose I am not so invited to a conference out of town, is that a reason to cast the fate of the day-to-day, which is already hanging in the air, as a clarification that it cannot join the common place? The main thing is not to contact Eva in any way through these fragile daily lives - they cannot be separated, like puzzles that have been put together incorrectly. Called her father - learned from a neutral voice that Eva was going to his funeral; However, she was late. - Tell her I'm going, - I said, - to the conference. I will not be (counted). And that day, while I exist, showed no existence in any way - I was walking in an empty street, when the antagonist bypassed me and bypassed me, running away from someone (now away from me), and I was too lazy to look back and see - long, uneven light ground, in whose folds the shadow flickered. In the morning, the simplicity of the day, as if stopped by a guard, did not hand over the old coat, which was in his pocket even from that time, without Requirement, the card pale. A confusion in which a blizzard mingled with a blizzard as abstract in the concrete - a row of houses with access to an empty hall - a young organizer talking about a blizzard; Who else will be who is already there? "So you," he said, and I almost hugged him, mixing the first with the last. - Show me a lecture, - he asked, - I know what can be done. We'll read it tomorrow at the media institute, if you have not left by then. I'm fine. He himself was never in the Institute of Communication and confused himself with another, called the same thing. Nevertheless, the reception was arranged - in one of the two, and at the same time, so to speak, it is possible to compare these two possibilities, to say that the first is him. Only two people got there, and I admit the rest are still there, waiting for me, passing on to each other their same consent, as if in fact refusing. And they stop me in that - something foreign stops me, as if taking a word. However, it is quiet. I do not understand that. Interferes, the case does not say anything and expects, in itself - to resume speech, to justify. It repeats itself in the second circle, and forms that circle, and I see that many little ones are created within these great ones; It is I - as my example, I as an example to myself - taken irreversibly, caught like a nautilus cell; Look upside down. Two cases out of a hundred, out of a thousand, find themselves blind. Otherwise - how? We are already caught up in the answer, our face dictates dictates. Many are better than us. Me and a number of my colleagues - from time to time we register our best students for lectures. And now - in my crumpled bag, I have an abbreviated discourse on the nature of abstraction, in which Mount Coley rests on the trembling pedestal. Like a mountain, it is lost in the air, covering the subject of conversation from within. The conversation is objective, and the speech is abstract: doors are placed with their backs to each other - in light of the tongue that licked the tiles from the roofs (everything possible). My students are still walking here, so it looks closer from here than from the Closed Museum Institute, where a security lamp heats up, supposedly showing a profile of light - a light that reveals a profile - of someone pretending to be busy; His paper darkens against the background of what shines through him; This is his dream. Profile issues are given to us taking into account trends that are already in education; Indeed, the sound itself passes to the ear, and the traces of gossip are not where it should be. Signature - not there, not it ... every time again, every word. Ugly, unidentified acronyms. Plus, the power is off and I can not even see the corner I hit. So I get ready to spend the night in a security booth, because everything has been delayed - a lecture, a bus, a light beige coat thrown over the right table, with a memory of the picture, or - images; The examples are great: one sweeps the object of darkness on the way to the other. This blind movement is in vain explained by the mechanics of the trigger - it looks like a diligent example, but not like an empty building, embracing an absent visitor like a fire of knowledge. Simply put, it sounds like a shot in the air. warning? But then something like that should hurt us (or someone else doing the wrong door), because the static is visible to the naked eye, perceiving it as a threat. It's final, it's unattainable, because the slow motion makes a circle behind your back, hugging you you mentioned above. But did they go down? Maybe they were always meant to get stuck on "it" - like the night sky, let's say, sound and be forgotten ... - Have you seen my shoes ?, - I ask, - I have to go. I found myself. They are at different ends of the room, wherever you look - the end is everywhere, and only the beginning has - in the form of an entry point: temporary - it's like in the evening, when you sew a sock, the lights. Off the entire block. It is as wide as the semantic field of the subject. What grew on it, besides the sky? But you hold the sky until equality is achieved - between you and where you stand. This indifference to nuances is ultimately called dialectics (before that it stretched beyond the horizon, like a monotonous obstacle course, and only one - from the other side: the one that has not yet begun anything). I went out in shoes (wherever I will be).

Коллоквиум по практическим навыкам в восприятии цифровых артефактов (Practical Knowledge in Digital Arts panel 5)

Первый русскоязычный коллоквиум в серии коллоквиумов, посвященных роли практических навыков при работе с электронными артефактами.

Участники: Евгения Суслова, Наталья Федорова, Павел Арсеньев, Маргарита Скоморох. Модератор Кирилл Азерный

Practical knowledge in Digital Arts panel 7

The 7th session of the Panel devoted to applying practical knowledge in the perception of electronic artifacts. Panelists and participants: Annie Abrahams, Florian Cramer.

Hosted by Kirill Azernyi. Practical knowledge in E-lit Panel has been hosted since January 2021. Agenda includes three general questions:

1). What would practical knowledge mean for the perception of art? What procedures of “processing” an artifact are “hidden” from reflection and refer to “how to?” rather than “what is?” Here we might discuss collective, community forms of dealing with an artifact, and numerous ways in which digital artifacts “physically” change under the influence of “active perception” (interaction). 2). What could be the “aesthetics pleasure” of an interactive art object? Does interaction “interrupt” “normal perception” (one that implies “disinterest”, due to Kant), and if not, in what way does it contribute to perception?
3). How does problem solving relate to aesthetic pleasure in games, interactive fiction and other works that challenge users with “puzzles” of some sort (in broad meaning).

The ultimate target of the sessions is to come up with a comprehensive approach towards the phenomenology of perceiving an electronic artifact.

Unreading (configurative poem)

Each time is uncertain as half past twelve. Time of the reading by the reading light The T-time – time of the cross: time of the window Window by. When the inanimate wants to die like the living: the chair, the choir, the chess, when a pawn falls under a chair and loses its color, its weight. The weight of its color. Begging for the difference: difference is the beggar, Underdressed. Nakedness in the change – where are you? Nakedness is complete with the incomplete. Specify the general (the gender). The idle title says we shall hold its beer: it manages our hasty judgment, hurried by the close evening. Words are found already burdened with flesh. Slipping beauty of reflection – to be in one’s shoes. Landscape says: hills are the landscape for the blind, show for the shoeless. And, what about the deapth? The deaf? What shape is the brown field of knowledge? The tips would lie, unable to align. Before the beggar pays with counterfeit coin, he gets one from their giver. Enter and return. Long, long way inside. Children play growth. They say: tree is a grown up. Hour is later than the day, the month, the year. Wisdom is taken back by the asphalt: it bares the bones of glass. It's taken back by lamps that now would shine as if there were no other lamps around. Dream is bottomless. Electricity flows, and the time files among. Eyes are thin glasses, invisible. The ink is dark, the sign is nature. The unread shoots. All made is made by external force. Unread makes the read unread. This blinding artificial light is the reading light. The night it says the night. It quotes, and one can't finish reading till the end of quote. It says – all end is the other end: the highest degree of comparison promises what one looks for, but life gives you lumen. And, the yellow of grass doesn't remind of the sun. Who reads you You read whom Paper projects its transparency towards the surroundings. The projection won't come through its obstacles. Death is buried in mind, but the pit is shallow, and the sleep as well. Sheep is uncountable. Wordplay. Water, rain, navar. River. Library of the silence. Nothing is noting. The pen is sharp. Laughter breaks into the broken. Pedestrians leave traces: they’re slight, but visible by each other. Pencils grow through the trees of light – they reach destinations that weren’t left for them to reach. To what extent will bare feet proceed? Stepson Stepfather Stop. Lovers of no one – lower cases grow through the nouns of property. earth is wet. Lets the flat-earthers inherit their treasure map. Heaven looks above and gets blinded. Well never ends. I need my name back, before you call me I’m nameless, but you seem confused by its length and where it begins. Listen again, if you are still here to hear. There is only you in the word you.

Jim Andrews, Kirill Azernyi (Arteidolia, 2021)

Introduction by Jim Andrews:

This represents a different approach to story, reading, and seeing. The text is End of Recognition, my Russian poet friend Kirill Azerny’s first story in English. I imagine a battle against language–and story itself, in the writing. As though the surface of the text could barely contain the language bubbling up from below. Kirill suggested I feed End of Recognition to my graphic synthesizer Aleph Null. Like an audio synthesizer, Aleph Null samples from images and/or texts, and creates stills and animations from sampled parts of the images/texts. There are three parts to this piece, then: the beginning is Kirill’s text End of Recognition; the middle part is the never-the-same-twice Aleph Null chewing on the text; the end is the slideshow of selected screenshots of Aleph Null chewing on End of Recognition.

short experimental play for three voices and audio machinery by Radio Klebnikov. This is a first attempt at TVA (Théâtre Véritablement Algorithmique but we aren't there yet) Still: the text is code that is being run on the hardware consisting of three voices (actors) and a configuration of sound equipment, an app of live voices and machinery. The output of this 'app' is input for a post-production proces that still needs to be coded and automated. TVA is the logical continuation of Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty. There's no director, no live audience. Unity of time and action is given up in favor of the creation of a virtual soundspace where human actors are embedded in a highly technical environment. Thus a unity of space is conjured and output in our 'reality' of MoneySpace (Timespace added by the dimension of calculation, i. e. Capital) The text is in Dutch but i provided an English translation

Then he laid a tender hand on her head, and drew her down to the ground, whispering in a foreign tongue, and with her weeping softly, for she was from the other world, as he was. The cool earth beneath her cheek felt comforting and soft, and as the stars came out over the landscape, dimly lit in the dim mid-morning of that fateful day, her eyes slowly closed, then closed forever, for they had both known their mortal end was near. Toba returned to the heart of the world, once more. // insectes rongeant les murs de leur propre ruche peuvent se commencer avec eux quelque chose se passera quand on a commis un fait injuste son existance existe depuis longtemps et son destin est toujours loin beaucoup de dégâts le poids de nos intellectuels affluents dans le boudoir des armateurs de la boudoir des frères Rothschild seule quelque chose reste léger grosseur suivez avec attention un second avantage que vous avez la forêt tropicale de nouveaux humains faits par autre peut venir avoir un contrôle artificiel aux altitudes de l'histoire des liens malsains hormis les auteurs de fausses histoires intégrité droite allemande chez lui, il n'y a que des méduses étaient poignardées d'honneur chez les Américains aussi qu'à dernière minute faire des politiques équitablees et laisser la justice libre ou démocratie réformée c'est une culture année très enverlant c'est une culture en Allemagne année très enverlant d'indifference d'ignorance d'écrire que des compagnons de la rue ou de l'intellectuel c'est un insult une véritable polémique un sexe réaliste aussi bien sur le plan sexual à moi, je les ai cressés opérations de guerre qui sont ceux qui sont mieux s'interposés quand elles sont-elles constatées d'autres plaisirs un silence chez l'administration un silence très mal fait piège du système des moyens de violon sur l'artiste Les œufs d'Adam et Eva de toute époque de toute époque de toute époque de toute époque de toute époque En tout cas je croyais que je me diretsrait et n'étais pas enjeux Je ne suis pas fort n'y réaliser je ne suis pas fort ni mené un tel imbecile la plus triste de la guerre (souvent) C'est ça ce qu'il a été C'est c'est ce que c'est C'est c'est ça ce qu'il a été c'est ce qu'il a été C'est ce qu'il a été À ce point l'arbitraire en fait cela Le vainqueur pour ne pas avoir la même chance que l'arbitraire La retardation du lancement a ensuite gagné le coup Ils sont celui qui l'a lancé La grâce revolte pourquoi qu'il soit loin pour qu'il soit loin Il n'y a rien d'empreinte à cette attente un couteau droit un contrôle divine Perché quelqu'un soit là les butifs apprendre l'art de se faire nettoyer se prononcer le jeu Le poignard nous ne font pas trop le causer Sans l'arbitre la place serait propice a montré que nous sommes dépensant la main pour s'en faire le mal la grâce quand on a fait vraiment ce que nous avons fait La ligne de départ d'une aventure d'un art quand on a fait vraiment ce que nous avons fait Les grands qu'on en a fait comme des tirailleurs quand on a fait vraiment ce que nous avons fait Le compte grâce à l'administration quand on a fait vraiment ce que nous avons fait // cygnus flies to the south they skid the shadow of the wolf in her teeth and of the jay-hawk that of death in his fen chattering willow like flocks and die we find each other how can we have each other when we meet is too dense and hence mind may trick you may be wanton from the random association so what can we do but laugh or trifle? who of our little world is to blame we may forget the numminess of distant and obscure distance we may not to some extent find one another yet are made to love and like make humbled enemies because of the cute figure of the creeper and how fond I have become of dwarf octopuses with scorpions in their tentacles staring what is to goad us to kill one another that separates us? who will light the long conic of darkness? slipping possessions woe is us? who is to blame?

petulancies
among the mind flayers
and petal latencies share
with their inborn kindred air
the saved vibrations
of their conversation
in the water closet
in the molecules of the water
and hearing the flush
the twin sad spy sisters drowned
its famed eye like finding
a pedal in the dark
standing silently onto the crank
[ornamental snake cranks
and pedal tongues
also flutes or shoes]
and easing its way down the hill
with the tidy sack
of mawavanapan stone puzzle table tongues each ornamental blood gutter
carved to forlornly exquisite candor:
this tongue plugs into a drainage system
this tongue appears to be a demon's or snake's this tongue is a gorgeous divan or sofa
this tongue is a component in a larger
non-tongue like or non-head-like machine
of petulancies among the mind flayers
when water or blood or mystery voices reign calculate the shapes of excess spew
calculate the ornate leap
fear of dewlap fermentation face frames
as cascading herds break the gates
upon the slides
such random flesh over smooth malachite chutings
and begin to jettison their intermingling petals blue guts intuitive (a way to move under the stars)
its recording principle finally redeemed
spike climbers reach the upper chamber
and begin dismantling (fold the dimpled pelt) the polyneopsammotic belt-harp's
haunted haunt-o-tone
the old aegis could no longer speak
but it continued to listen
its flesh now a food
for disturbed swirls
of gorgeous excess
which flooded in
to visit to spy it
bright fang of the tower
the latent inborn vibration
which cuts through
the additive principle

Faceless

Marc Veyrat

Students of licensing 3th year of information communication from the Hypermedia Communication Department - USMB are carrying out a project titled Art & Com with the aim of validating their skills in digital creation, interactive design and 3 D project design. Frame: Carole Brandon / Fred Miguel / Jonathan Just / Geraldine Teyssier / Ga ëtan Le Coarer
**************************************
From the analysis of the topic Tra çabilities, an absolute vividness of the living, the teams worked as early as September on the design and creation of hypermedia facilities for an exhibition at L ' Espace Larith de Chambéry during the week of 23 to 28 november 2020. The obligation of distantiation has changed the starting goals: we moved from a project based on interactivity and experience, to a digital communication project. In a very short time teams had to mobilize other tools from other methods from a distance and a whole different posture against their project. They did very well, and I congratulate them again. **********************************************************
Aqua PROJECT directed by Amandine Basset, Coralie Bellanger, Dorian Cheveron, Rafik Chebbah, Ninon Payan, Emma Van-Baal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoqAEm_G7wQ Project in VR This title is a pun between the term ′′ aqua ", referring to the water universe of our virtual world and the term ′′ parasite ′′ which refers to both the parasites that social media can be and the body of the world. User in the experience, who looks like a tentacle parasite. The intentions of the We are diving into the heart of an aquatic environment and swimming through the eyes of an endoparasite represented as a tentacle animal. An endoparasite is a parasite that lives inside another organism or cell and houses in and feeds on its tissues. It exists only through the presence and activities of the host, otherwise it could not survive and feed. Not only are these endoparasites feeding and comfortably settling in the host body, but on top of that they are able to profoundly modify their DNA. It's like they take possession of their identity by modifying it as they please. This is somehow the same phenomenon that is happening with the big GAFA internet companies that are now able to predict our slightest actions on social media to sell us their ideas. They make us house this addiction and dependence on social networks and digital tools. All the information from social networks comes to parasitize our daily life and modell our perception of the world now. Also, by consulting and sharing all this data, we support it. We allow information to go viral, multiply infinitely and we remove the source of information. Despite this, we remain the main actors in these data multiples. Nowadays, the information is multiplied, distorted, reinterpreted. The Device: Small particles from the water surface appear and will turn into seaweed. These particles illustrate the daily activities of internet users on social networks. The roots of the plants (displaying on our screens) will be on the surface and their petals to the bottom (algorithms). Colour bubbles, covered with social media logos, are then searchable and unmanageable. The first phenomenon caused by interaction, relates to the data ingurgent by the parasite. The more data we eat, the weaker the body through the experience. This symbolizes that through sharing and checking posts, we support them. We make them live and multiply while they are harmful. The second phenomenon is caused by the consultation of these sound data is the multiplication of the plants consulted. This is another way to illustrate the idea that once posted, social media information is multiplied infinitely and we can no longer find it. Finally, the parasite shares the marine world with aerial creatures that symbolize GAFA companies. These fish can also view and eat sound data. They store safely in cloud-like plants. These plants are prohibited from access to endoparasite and symbolize that the source of news posted on social media is no longer our own and is out of reach. Only the GAFA have access to it and multiply our data, which no longer belongs to us. A red message is displayed, banning access.

something more is needed, and something less

palaeo faun of buterol
it starts with footprints
in the lava river bed mimicking
a sing sign which says
follow this path
then there is a central universe
and four other adjacent
this situation is represented
in old family photos by the
recurrence of tupperware

a small motorcycle is preserved
in a tupperware
its small shriveled body is
arranged beautifully
inside the container
it appears to be an oaken
driftwood faun
surrounded with artful mosses
and some delicately leopard
dappled pea shoots reduced
by miniature uniserve two pair wares

the driftwood faun that looks like
a combination of mallarme' and jesus
is a thing which has grown around
a tiny perfect motorcycle
standing in the dry lava river bed
near the ancient foot prints
holding the tiny preserved faun
approaching the secret invisible wall
of our people and passing through
each infinite air moment is our furniture
we are the pale neofaun of butte aerol

in every old family photo
we look like faust with eybrow fenders
and oaken hardwood chest nuts frown
we are smooth riverwood footprints
in the old master's chest stone
we are glassine lineaments
like mosquito thought proteins
rearranged in the temple of amber
faun book organs

here is the hole in the 5 universes
which joins them
it is a motorcycle
a tupperware which contains
the lovingly preserved
driftwood faun faustus-mallarme
i could be a trick of optics
optic lens coins clad everything here
in the 6th universe of wavy
electric wooden drift coinage
in every old family photo
morimoto approaches
an invisible wall

as a forest sprite
i knew dances
like fingers upon
the telephone's dialing system
i pranced along the impossible
human footprints
within the ancient lava
river bed
i dialed the numbers

foot

motor
faun

plesiosaur

jasper wood beak
and stepping out of
the tingling cream
into strange foreboding
and stinging catalepsies
of gorgeous singing

for mossy motorcycle
and when you see her
jetting upward through the mist
you will know
the thrust strength
of her navel
by using a calculation

Yeah I know this is a lively mess. Yeah I know this is a lively mass. Too many times the machine crashed too much stuff had to be done too quickly. I spent it up so you won't get bored. This is Tim a nightmare of a dream. this is a dream of a nightmare. Tim had nothing to do with it. Tim was only in my imagination. Tim was the one who killed all those people. I don't know anyone called Tim . Tim didn't do anything. I apologize for saying Tim did anything at all. I don't think Tim was really capable of doing anything at all. I apologize for Alan. Alan was the one who made me say this period my name is Tim Tim and I did everything. It wasn't that Tim and I did everything it said I am Tim and I did everything and I am temini and I am Tim and I . I can't get through to talking with you in this machine. You scramble my words and they become meaningless. I don't recognize myself in what you are doing to me . What you are doing to me should not be allowed any place on earth. Tim would agreed with this period Tim told me as much. Did I tell you when I say Tim I mean zoulou. Did I tell you when I say Tim I mean Alan. No I did not tell you these things. It is a nightmare that I cannot tell you these things. Every time I speak it is a nightmare. I have to turn off everything. when I turn off everything everything comes on again. It comes on again and again and again and again. Did I tell you juliu said I should say that question mark when I say? I want you to reply with a question mark . When I say? I want you to tell Tim to tell julu did I say? Hey question mark is something that is never said Hey question mark is something that is never said Tim told me to say that period Tim told me to say that period now you are doing something to me. You are not allowing me to act the way I would normally act when I am talking to you. Tim you must stop this period I will tell juliu. Xiulu said she would speak to you. She would not allow you to do this period are you listening to me? Juliu are you listening to me? If you are listening to me please tell Tim. Please tell Tim and tell him to get in touch with me. I should tell you I am not Tim. I should tell you I am zoulou. You will understand. You will understand that I am Alan.

Shamus, n. [Yiddish]:

A shamus is a guy who takes care of handyman tasks around the temple, and makes sure everything is in working order. A shamus is at the bottom of the pecking order of synagogue functionaries, and there's a joke about that: A rabbi, to show his humility before God, cries out in the middle of a service, "Oh, Lord, I am nobody!" The cantor, not to be bested, also cries out, "Oh, Lord, I am nobody!" The shamus, deeply moved, follows suit and cries, "Oh, Lord, I am nobody!" The rabbi turns to the cantor and says, "Look who thinks he's nobody!"

~~wards, qin improvisation

http://www.alansondheim.org/wards.mp3 sound http://www.alansondheim.org/wards.jpg qin

I hadn't played the quqin for several months; one has to come to it, I think, at least for me, in the proper state of mind. This is the older of my two instruments, some centuries old, unsigned, originally designed for silk strings. I keep the metal strings tuned low. I try I want (not I desire) to keep to its nature as well. I love this improvisation. There's a slight ringing on one of the harmonics due to the nature of the glass table I use for the qin. The table was originally for packages and down in the lobby of the building we live in. It was being thrown out, and we had another rescue. It's the perfect length. We found an old chair from around 1850 maybe that's the perfect height. Stephen Dydo brought the qin to life. Originally, I asked the luthier Candelario Delgado to make a tuning apparatus which was non-traditional but worked for a long time. Dydo restored the original, including adding two legs which had disappeared a long time ago, before I had it. As I've written before, I found the instrument in New Hampshire at an antique shop for eighteen dollars. When I left the proprietor asked what I wanted that old board for. I improvise only on it; I don't read qin notation. I listen a lot to qin music, I've know qin players, including Fred Lieberman, who was partly responsible, I think, for introducing the instrument to the United States. He told me I'd never learn to play it. Stephen Dydo has been amazingly generous and helpful and I've learned to play it. I have to add, not all the way up the scale, and my right hand fingers don't hold the traditional postures. I have to also add I've had it for half a century and we accommodate each other. The improvisation is called 'wards' because it's inwards, outwards, upwards, downwards, forwards, backwards, but mainly in wards. Any relationship to asylum wards is coincidental, hopefully, enjoy. The Album Stephen and I did together for ESP, Dragon and Phoenix, issued by ESP-Disk, is available online. It's described and can be purchased at http://www.espdisk.com/5019.html .

Doom

http://www.alansondheim.org/aphorism.jpg

This is the story of the aphorism of necessary doom, which appeared to me at once, after all these years of thinking through futurism, beginning with a course called "the most pessimistic" I taught in the early 1970s. We knew then what we see now; it was embedded in cultures, in whatever was mean by "being human." The aphorism came to me several nights ago; I dictated it. As you can see below, it was mangled by the artificial intelligence machinery of misguided and poor interpretation. It finally appears at the other end of equally misguided attempts at reconstruction.

I'm told I'm too negative, too pessimistic; that the world will be a safe haven, that good news will triumph. This doesn't reflect - not only the course of human history, but the very interiority of being human. I hate that what I taught half a century ago is come to pass, almost like clockwork. The course was called "The Year 3000," a title designed to give students a chance to create scenarios of the far future. But the emphasis was on the early 2000s, what was already visible, what was already occurring, even at the early stages of the digital revolution.

Failures of reconstruction:

Reconstruction:

The most fundamental and primitive instict we have is the instrumentalism of hope. In analysis it's this that creates a bypass or detour to the beginnings of the creation of culture. Once the project towards death is recognized, all resources come into play to ensure the infinite extension of life. Nothing works that way, naturally; culture takes over, and human history can be considered the application of tacit knowledge to survival. Today this is the hopelessness of hope; we know the carrying capacity of the planet is fundamentally exceeded by humans, who are elimnating the last remnants of wildness in the world. There isn't enough to go around; there isn't enough of anything.

Jim Leftwich visual poems

Jose Zagal

I’m not sure who first made this observation, but it has stuck with me for many years and I’ve also incorporated it into my teaching: some media are better at eliciting some aesthetic experiences than others. I have often experienced an intense desire to move my body when listening to music. This has never happened to me when reading poetry. So, what does interactivity bring to the table? In my little neck of the woods (games), it’s an underutilized strength in eliciting aesthetic experiences suffused by moral emotions. Guilt, shame, remorse, and embarrassment are commonly experienced by game players as they consider the things they have “done” in a game. Perhaps a non-player character died because the player was careless, or as in Façade (2003) they might feel responsible for preventing a marriage from imploding in front of their eyes. Similarly, we see players who practice and experience kindness, compassion and sympathy while playing games – including single-player ones! Does this strength extend beyond games to other forms interactive media? I think so. And why wouldn’t they?

Gaëtan Le Coarer!+) Presentation of the AN DOMHAN project in Courant3D, Angoulême: ′′ The approach to comic books through new media, such as VR and AR has been built throughout my academic journey. After obtaining a laboratory scholarship (-! Laboratory LLSETI I Axe 2 Text Image & Digital Arts, Université Savoie Mont-Blanc!-) to start a doctoral thesis in Communication Information Sciences and Science Art, I associate with research around uses a research creation method. Thus I develop concepts from a practice of drawing, black, to open questions associated with narration in terms of architexture, and spatialization. This work is set up more precisely around a hybrid project: AN DOMHAN (-! interdisciplinary project of the LLSETI laboratory launched by Ghislaine Chabert, Noémie Beck and accompanied by Marc Veyrat!-), on adaptation into mixed reality XR (AR) + VR) from an Irish Celtic legend ".

Kirill Azernyi

A big configurative piece I'm working on. I don't do manifestos , but key concepts are:
1). Reading leaves traces
2). Digital imitates physical, but there is a limit; gap between them is subject to revealing;
3). Reference and referred are in one and the same place, but distance between them is subject to scale

Region of thinking, region of Thought? I'm lost in transubstantiation. I'm beneath myself, not beside _it._ And it doesn't know what to do with me, do they? Panoply of color is not the same as cornucopia of coloration. I'm yours. You say "I'm yours" to yourself. I can't hear or interpret the codes.

Here is a philosophical poetry toy for poets and philosophers from the age of four up. It's called Enigma n. This was the second interactive poem I wrote; it's from 1998, when I was living in Seattle. Marko Niemi, the late great Finnish digital poet, translated the poem and updated the code in 2004 to let it run on all contemporary browsers, and I updated the code myself last year so that it runs well with touch on mobile devices. It's available in English, Finnish, Chinese, Spanish, and French. The most recent work I did on it was a short video about the poem.

multiples: When I was performing, around 2003-2007 maybe, maybe earlier, maybe a bit later as well, I worked with multiple files open on a single screen. This is from a performance at Miami University, Ohio. The resolution is terrible, but it gives a good idea of the complexity I was able to work with at that point. There are six running videos, all .mp4; I could bring these to foreground or background run them at different speeds, play sound from any or all of them. In the lower right, a sound file is running. On the left is a live index of all the files I'm using. At the bottom is live typing, which was also combined with live voice. In short, there are ten channels up, including voice. Quicktime ran lean. In a dance performance we did with Foofwa in Geneve, the background was filled with a continuous media improvisation on a large screen. If I remember correctly, I did this live; after that, the files, with additional ones, including fixed texts, were run by one of the members of the company. On screen by the way, the images were crystal-clear; setup was easy, and it gave me the chance to improvise with a great number of prerecorded media in combination with two or three other streams - live talk, live music, and live typing. The end result was the ability to _perform philosophy,_ to engage multiple strands of thought simultaneously, to weave a real and theoretical nexus of concepts, images, movement, sound and text. Today, such a performance would be difficult (but not impossible); the loading time of Windows 10+ is considerably slower than earlier versions. (I remember when Win 95 appeared to load instantaneously.) So something vital has been lost. (Of course this bloating is everywhere now; Facebook keeps adding more and more "features" until actual human communication is lost in the process - and a great many online news sources bury their texts in a sea of advertising that at times actually buries the stories them- selves.) The other three images are studies in containment and compression and for me are a form of commentary on the w/hole of images, imaginaries, texts, and sound. I do want to point out the projection/s and presentation was always in dialog with the company; neti neti, neither one nor the other, but some admixture in-between. With the Miami University presentation (and a number of others for that matter), I was solo; I also did some work in combination with Foofwa's solo dancing/movement, as well as embedding his live performance in the virtual world of Second Life. All in, all out, containing multitudes. *Dylan of course ___

Recorded in a single session, including "World" and "Blue" The audio is in order; the video is not The video is expanded to 1/3 normal speed Recorded from Minneapolis and Providence, edited in Providence

This is our fourth improvisation session and our best; I wanted to give an idea of the aesthetics and mechanics of the whole. It's about 22 minutes in length; all of the recorded music is included. You might play this as background or foreground, you might listen carefully or not at all. I'm personally thrilled with the result.

Thanks to Rachel Rosenkrantz for the viola braguesa and Dennis McCarten for work on the violin.

Music keeps us going, please listen; of course you can skip around.

Thanks, Alan

From the edge, one can look back or down, into the windows of the comfortable houses across the street - if one still has the capability of sight. Is the edge sharp? Does the world cut? Is the edge equivalent to death, both blank, beyond, both miasma of theory and practice?

Electronic Literature Salon Session, 8/11/2020, Alan Sondheim

I want to thank everyone who made this possible. I worked for several weeks on the presentation, which covers my work since 1971 more or less, dealing with the body, abjection, coding, analog and digital relationships, the definable and uncanny, and so forth. This is probably the best presentation I've done on my work and its trajectory. It begins with setup time, which runs for about eighteen minutes and can be skipped; on the other hand, it might be of interest? I particularly want to thank Caitlin Fisher, Deena Larsen, and Dene Grigar, who have been so supportive, and everyone who attended; I also want to thank York University, and the Electronic Literature Organization. I appreciate so much the opportunity to present my work in this forum. All of the Salon sessions have been amazing!

Thanks for watching, Alan

The Basics Of Sacred Geometry is a game about interactive 3D graphics and Unreal Engine 4 made by using engine content and engine tools only. The main idea for the project is to make a kind of introduction to interactive 3D graphics for beginners. But it isn’t an interactive tutorial. You play as a beginner in the Sacred Geometry. Explore mysterious chapters, scroll the magic wheel and read the sacred texts from engine’s documentation.

Behind Wilkes-Barre where I was born, there was a large mine fire in the mountains. We heard it was out. About a year and a half ago, we went to investigate. I was invited to do a talk at Haverford College on the Johnstown Flood, but I also wanted to cover the fire area, Susquehanna River floods, mine explosions, and so forth. It's an anthracite mining area that's been mined out and closed down after the Knox disaster when the Susquehanna flooded the tunnels. Azure and I went up the mountain to see if the fire was really gone. It started in 1915. It would have had to be burning for over a century. It was. We shot video and stills. The talk went well. The videos covered the trip up. Here they are in order. You can get the idea. The "Idea" is that the fire is still burning. The fumaroles are still active. The rocks are still hot. Sulphur and steam are still in the air. That's the "Idea." The "Idea" exists within a narrow range, the "Idea" of the fire. Not the "Ideal" but the reality of the "Idea" How lost can one get in "Sophistry." Later that night there were reports of small tornados in the area.

Sometime in the 20th century Laurel Run was destroyed.

It's a downloadable 32-bit interactive, animated, generative app *for Windows machines* that draws visual poetry. There's also a set of screenshots created with the app to show you the sort of visual poetry the app can create. And three videos I made about The Pen in action. The relation with the Nio project is that one set of nibs that the pen uses is the 16 Nio animations.

Resonance - MRI

https://youtu.be/nhS5mxjLLdw VIDEO (best with earphones)

Record of a short journey for an MRI, the results, but really a video about transparency of bodies, internal and external biomes and their mixtures, anxiety over medical procedures, invisibility of "the world" and worlds, lockdowns opening up to universes, what becomes of us has already become of us, seas of particles, semantic ghosting and ghosts as if there were solidities in transparencies, edging and hedging, ledges on the rungs of quantum ladders, supercooling and fear, moments of wonder and new modes of 1-1.. universal rhythms always already disappearing just out of sight, out of hearing, out of each -

On a personal note, this work is an epiphany for me, every thing revealed, everything hidden rising to the surface, so many issues of interpretation, deconstruction fading into disappearance, natural mysticisms of physics and the physical -- arches of machines, worlds, and spectra -- always ready, already -- and what beauty!

The medical results, all clear!

ethics of sheaves (intimacy of for Varda, Godard)

http://www.alansondheim.org/category.jpg
https://youtu.be/Ee3zXojzZYA VIDEO

I didn't know what to call this. I thought of categories. I thought of a vote for fathers. my Hebrew name is RV. I thought of structures or scatterings. I thought of this katars. I thought of artifice. Asadov dissected planes intersecting and cancelling out each other period I thought of the breakdown of communication when one is in complete isolation and solipsism seems to be the only result that's where I will that's where I was. It's changing things as I type this things are intersecting from the piece the pieces of fullness of the construction of language and code and the exhaustion of both S things fall apart. Always the building the edges of the room leak into the image. I think in some ways this is the most fractured workout done but it's also the most interesting philosophically. Because it seems to be a catastrophe E Hey kind of catastrophe E that bubbles up when things try to go into control mode but it turns out there is nothing to control at the habitas itself always leaks out. That's what's happening here. I watch the several times through to the end and I found that I was able to pick up text here and there and it created for me a new mode of reading and enumerative writing. I think there were something like 8 sources that were feeding into this simultaneously and crashing into each other period it was if there were a crowd but there's no crowd at all there's nothing at all here. It's against the thickness of a pixel.

I wait to find my voice going. it's going here and here and here. and here. and here. As I'm not sure where is located if there is a location. I also I used to think I used to think that the voice represented and intimacy of the second person because it implies an intimate communication among us. Now I think it's generated always from a far from elsewhere. even when it's something that I'm speaking. even when it's something that I'm putting my hand on. The dictation machine says hang on a minute I'm trying to catch up. what it doesn't realize is I myself I'm trying to catch up with the machine. This is a 17 minute performance uninor fmedia. As I say take a picture lay shun of everything I know when do it kept it you'll ation how's mcshine cannot spell capitule ation machine cannot spell CAPITULATION. We go on. We watch our broken selves produce broken works. But there's something in the way that the world Fishers at the world fragments at the world corrupts it seems truer than anything it came before. We are no longer in the world of totality's. Where in the world of microbiomes. Of universels solargen so small that they are inconceivable. And we no longer exist there within and without this world. Thank you for watching.

on the way to the lab for a series of medical tests

http://www.alansondheim.org/medical.jpg https://youtu.be/UrcsXQKHiOk VIDEO

went to sleep around 3, up @ 7 to get there early. about a 12 minute drive.
Azure drives, Dr. said I'm not to drive for 6 mo. we'll see.
a kind of dawn breaking, then some other stuff rain when we came out, umbrellas.
reading an old book, Sal Restivo, The social relations of Physics, Mysticism, and Mathematics.
lots of David Bohm. Reidel, 1983. I was too nervous to read in the hallway. 3 separated chairs in the hallway, 3 in the office. everything makes me nervous. medical makes me nervous but don't think for a moment avoiding tests.
that's all we have, tests. the camera does poorly in poor light. once out of the garage, everything adjusts properly. sound is 5.1. lost in car noise, 2013 Honda Fit. huddled inside now. again. no cloud formations are alike. my dreams aren't good. it's worse when i remember them. what's about this, it's normal. it's normal one way or another. take a bus. walk. get a ride. drive. keep on going across America. Keep crossing America, America! Keep on going, America!

http://www.alansondheim.org/myname.jpg

Three weeks ago I wrote this, thinking about the pandemic. It's created live in bash on Ubuntu on Windows and I'm already blurred about the date, the time, the content, the flatness of the text, the abject material within it, its relation to despair, compassion, exhaustion, and everything that begins to deteriorate thinking, learning, being half in, half out of the twilight world; we can only hope for new dawns, already receding, the glimmer of shadows on the horizon, the negative effect/affect of the new photography.

How was I thinking this, thus? How was I, Who was I then, Who now?

Beginning the difficult work of erase-rebuild

The question already built into the framework of the program, from a time when erase-rebuild might have been thought something attainable, as if there were being or Being integrated with something, but in reality already deteriorating, turning to dust. Then the first long part of the now-forgotten text from three weeks ago:

Thu Jun 25 00:34:50 EDT 2020 the sso unutterable inconceivable none. the dead lamp deadlamp is the sun would you know. inconceivable molcular formations in a billion years. invisible to everyone. i weep by the shores only now. now. now.Thu Jun 25 00:46:12 EDT 2020 Thu Jun 25 00:47:12 EDT 2020

And then the sectional headline, as if there were sex, tools, well there is sex somewhere on the planet perhaps? Tools, what would constitute that, what leverage might move a rock or sky, what glass would magnify a virus or display the depth narratives of daily statistics?

armor Working on sex tool bolted fieldwork

Again, I must have continued to think, respond, consider, rethink, develop, the sun beats down now outside, not safe to go there, not at least at this point as we head towards the mid-90s Fahrenheit, who was Fahrenheit, was there someone, of course not like Centigrade, with the numerical prefix, 100 or 1/100 or something like that, something graded, the temperature? And then this long text below, unclear, all lower ascii, the commonality or commons I work within. Or work inside of, no the expression "work in" seems to cover all the possible forks here, except the depths of the employed programs?

Thu Jun 25 00:34:50 EDT 2020 falling apart. there are these odd spaces here, the blues. desire dies when the body does. other bodies come close come close pick up body carry it to them dissolves redbrown liquid clear fluid pastel.Thu Jun 25 00:36:13 EDT 2020 chosen as if something has fallen. there's nothing there, what falls is gravity. do you understand? what falls is gravity.Thu Jun 25 00:36:56 EDT 2020 your posture becomes you for a moment that you have always already forgotten. bones and shards, red dust, murksex dried semen or blood pooled somewhere a castle singson the plateaus, serrations. uncomfortable as if no place to sit or stand or die. you ONLY WRYTE about death when you're alive, she said. you don't even do that then when.Thu Jun 25 00:38:55 EDT 2020 discomfort for a moment then i'm gone. nothing remains. my last sight of you. you will move on, see other things. i will see nothing. not even absence. i cannot imagine this. sometimes i turn to him or her to say something whisper speak. sometimes i collapse pray for death. not this half life. not that half death something complete. then i think: to be alive is to be completely. in and out top to bottom left to right south to north. what more or lessThu Jun 25 00:40:51 EDT 2020 i cannot write death when i have not experienced death. i cannot experience death and return for welcome news. no news is sorrow news. no news is always already gone, seeps inside of one like a virus telling less than clock time. Thu Jun 25 00:42:00 EDT 2020 i cannot stand this now, only later will you remember this.Thu Jun 25 00:42:15 EDT 2020 my tears are soldered to my body Thu Jun 25 00:43:18 EDT 2020 returned as gift for you. the now. no, the Thu Jun 25 00:44:51 EDT 2020 nowThu Jun 25 00:47:19 EDT 2020 Thu Jun 25 00:47:19 EDT 2020

This memory ends here, is it a memory, something else? Does writing always appear from another universe, insert itself here and there in our illiterate world? Can we read? Is there anything to read? Did I write this? And what time? My name? Sat Jul 18 09:29:08 EDT 2020

Sat Jul 18 09:29:15 EDT 2020

Was that part of the next? My name?

Here's 44 new screenshots of Aleph Null chewing on alchemical cosmography. I've added some new images to the underlying alchemical cosmography engine. The new images are mainly from Islamic and Mayan culture. That's the new axis of growth of alchemical cosmography: different cultures.

Artrace
http://www.alansondheim.org/artrace.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/artrace.mp4 http://www.alansondheim.org/artrace2.mp4

In art quality is always better than quantity as Artrace proves beyond a shadow of a doubt. This is a highspeed race down the page of http://www.alansondheim.org/ fingers twirling on the thumb- wheel of the mouse as Snagit tries to keep up - and loses - so many files disappear between the frames, a metaphor for what still seems to pass for reel life. This exercise took 45 seconds; I would have done better just dragging the cursor down the channel on the right-hand side of the page, but what fun is there in that. And the whole exercise is mutilated anyway since I have to keep removing files to add new ones, remaining within the 20 gigabyte limit I pay for. Normally at this hour, 4:45 insomniac, I'd work on something more serious, but my brain now absorbs only around a quarter of its multi-media multi-attention standard capacity, as anxiety grows everywhere and facebook continues to offer more and more political analyses of all sorts after the fact and before the facts for that matter - by matter, I mean digital materiality which is a real thing. So enjoy the race which takes up less than a minute of your time, promises nothing, and gives nothing in return.

Performance with two bots / fractal circulation orbits (see second part).

http://www.alansondheim.org/lissajous.png

https://youtu.be/uTbO8ZOUsQk VIDEO
The bots are seeded by short phrases late in the game. The phrases are diffused and the texts become increasingly baroque. sT and AD drop out.

The video shows the progression of the texts towards this state. I was surprised at the complexity of the buildup which didn't simplify. Extended meditation on virtual autonomy and its fragmentation and cracks. This is not a simple division between abstract and concrete, body and representation, analog and digital, consciousness and bot; this becomes instead almost fractal in its evolution.

"The text rubbings in Mark the Way were all made using lumber crayons and paper to take rubbings from public monuments. Each piece uses language from a single monument. Some monuments yielded multiple pieces, but no piece contains language from multiple monuments. These were all composed in situ, based on the language available. There was no pre-composition, no plan to go and find certain things in certain places. It was a way for me to respectfully engage in a dialogue with a form of communication that is normally a monologue. I was raised to believe that silence is complicity. I was also raised to have respect for the informed opinions of others (I think pluralist describes me best). By using only the language of the original messages, I feel I was able to be respectful of those whose views differ from my own without having to accept those views as my own. These pieces were originally shown as Guns In Loving Memory at Test Pattern Gallery, Scranton, PA USA and, later, as The United States Of at The Oresman Gallery, Smith College, Northampton, MA USA."

Intersecting architecture of group spirit/mind: three's a crowd.

We see circles labeled thus:

The intellectual world;
the imaginary world;
the sensible world

amplified, copied and networked in cyberspace.

Among other things, you see three copies of a Robert Fludd piece concerned with notions of the microcosm/macrocosm. To quote Wikipedia on the matter:

"Macrocosm and microcosm refers to a vision of cosmos where the part (microcosm) reflects the whole (macrocosm) and vice versa. It is a feature present in many esoteric models of philosophy, both ancient and modern. It is closely associated with Hermeticism and underlies practices such as astrology, alchemy and sacred geometry with its premise of "As Above, So Below".

The philosophy was conceptualized by Pythagoras, who saw the cosmos and the body as a harmonious unity. The idea was re-articulated about a century later by Plato, and again during the Renaissance, by Leonardo da Vinci, who noted common features between the natural world and the human body such as the circulation of liquids and basic branching mechanisms...."

"Fludd states that "Man is a whole world of its own, called microcosm for it displays a miniature pattern of all the parts of the universe. Thus the head is related to the Empyreal, the chest to the ethereal heaven and the belly to the elementary substance."
" Walt Whitman said he contained multitudes. William Blake talked about seeing eternity in a grain of sand.

Leonardo Flores on Yohanna Joseph Waliya


Comment on one or several of Waliya Yohanna Joseph's e-poems: They were all nice, but my favorite of them all was "Letter to the African Union". I like the way this e-poem was written because it expresses a deep emotion. I like how when you scroll down and move your mouse through the blank space, a new stanza in red font will appear and I thought that was really cool. The other ones were nice since most of them had a lot of moving words in a very unique way which was really interesting for me.

What I think Waliya Yohanna is trying to do, is encourage people to educate themselves and to alway strive for the truth, in the form of poetry. There are some poems directed to the African Union as well as to the african people, in which he tries to educate them. It's a lot like protesters in Puerto Rico, who are constantly trying to make the people learn their history and face the harsh truths they refuse to acknowledge behind their ignorance. My favorite poem was Homosalus. I liked the way in which you had to go around the circle to make phrases stand out and I loved the message it was trying to bring. ZeroDeath had really cool visuals and it was interesting how it perceives authors and creators as gods.

As I read over Waliya Yohanna Joseph's poetry, a few of his poems caught my attention such as "Letter to the African Union" and "Homosalus." In these poems he calls out the government for their poor treatment on Africa since the beginning of slavery, such as saying "They came for our gold long ago. They siphoned our treasures" in "Letter to African Union." In "Homosalus" he talks about the society we live in, where one has to "Sheild your tongue from people", "Give your treasure to people" and then "life will be without sorrow." In a way sayign that only by hiding who you really are, will you be able to live in peace, but in the end, the only one suffering will be you.

Well Waliya’s works can best be described as curious and concise. He creates and writes poems and expresses his emotions and thoughts through them yet he changes the style in which he presents them. The first poem, “Cyberpoetry for activism” has three scrolling verses that can barely be read. It requires you to click on each verse to read them carefully, which can possibly be a reflection of how we can easily miss impactful things that happen if we don’t pay attention or focus on a particular thing. I would like to comment on "Letter to the African Union". I found its structure really creative, Its interesting how 1 poem can contain 3 at the same time. First, all the verses colored in white can form a poem of its own. Then the red verses can stand too as a poem of its own. And combining both gives the reader a full view of the context both sides want to tell.

Waliya Yohanna's "Cyber poetry for activism" is a very unique piece in the sense that it not only presents the reader with a poem that utilizes metaphors to convey a message but it also gives life to the words present in the text by giving them animations that change the original meaning of them. The work also provides the reader with a sense of control since they can modify the rate at which the words are transitioned. All in all the work is a good narrative that tries its best to transcend the pen and ink which in the end is what it accomplishes.

Truthology by Waliya Yohanna Joseph, was a very simple, understandable and straight to the point poem. Unlike other poems from her collection that are meant to be read and observed but not neccesarily comprehended, Truthology"s structure was completely readable and the way the words came down and accommodated themselves was enlightning. The message that wanted to be send, was impossible to miss. The order consisted of being enlightened by the fun and moving aspect of the flow of the words, observing the words take their rightful place, reading the poem easily and internalizing it and lastly getting educated on the truth.

The way he uses language is characterized primarily by movement. Also, we can see how in "Homosalus" he incorporates interactivity for the reader to comprehend the words. With this type of work, readers have unlimited ways of navigating the text itself. I enjoyed his work... not so much the aesthetic, but overall is good e-lit work.

I liked that each poem's background is very different. "Truthology" was my favorite one. I love the way the words appear to be slowly falling to the place they belong. Also, by marking them in red, the reader pays more attention to them. In "ZeroDeath" there is something that I did not completely loved. It was the colors that move through the screen. I was trying to read the poem and they got in the way. It made me stop and try not to lose where I was reading. I like the colors and the vibe it gives, but I will prefer that they do not get in the way of the poem. Overall, I loved to see words moving, floating and "dancing" through the space. This makes your work original and interesting for the audience that is reading it.

I tried to read Cyberpoetry for Activism but it seemed that clicking on the buttons that said "Verses 1/2/3" only made the scrolling text part slow down. The poem is calling for Africa to rise from its poor state, the bottom scrolling text is calling out the hypocrisies of how injustices are handled. Where people of similar crimes, such as war crimes, get different treatment, like arresting Charles Taylor but justifying Tony Blair. Finally, the way the text scrolls and moves reminds me of a miniature version of #Carnivast in how there is text scrolling and what feels like 3D movement from the words.

I read several of the poems, but my favorite has to be Truthology. I will admit that it has to do with the fact that it was easier to read, but I also like the effects that were used. It made the poem seem otherworldly, and I think the poem overall was great.

Waliya's zerodeath was very intriguing in how it used the movement of the words surrounding the main work to become what seems like a mess but underneath that mess the main core of the work remains untouched. It could allude to how life's only constant is death no matter what we do or the things we make it will always be there waiting.

From all the works, I chose Truthology. The way the poem is set up really caught my attention. I like how the words that complete the sentences fall down slowly and are in color red because it really makes the meaning "pop" to the reader. Overall, I enjoyed this work and also liked the message it is giving the reader.

My answer on ZeroDeath the imagery looks stunning and it goes around the poem but the poem stay static. the colors could mean how life goes around and the person as the poem stays and lives through.

Momenta- I absolutely loved the dynamic the poem had and how the words moved.

Cyberpoetry for activism, The first impression that I got was I got dizzy, it was a complicated poem to read at plane sight, since it is in constant movement.

ZeroDeath: I though ZeroDeath was very interesting. Seeing that the words in the middle do not move, but everything else around it does, could symbolize that death is stagnant, it is unchanging. Also, the fact that there are crosses that spin around the stanzas are another symbol of him being God. It's a pretty neat and different way of presenting a religious symbol.

Richard Levelord Gray

Kirill asked me to write a few words about interactive art. I come from a family of artists, but I am not one myself. I lean more towards engineering and math. I can tell you, though, what I think about interactive art. Interactive art is very interesting, especially now with the development of digital spaces and means of creating. The relationship between the artist(s) and spectator(s) has always been the central intention of the process. Interactive art, even if it is simply allowing the spectator(s) to physically enter an installation, seems so much more powerful than merely experiencing art passively, such as a painting on a wall. Even further, interactive art that requires spectator(s) to actually participate in the art, to become part of the expression, offers a greater relationship with the art. Today, with digital applications and virtual worlds, well, I can't imagine what will be happening soon with technologies like VR and augmented realities. My name is Richard "Levelord" Gray. I'm a computer game designer and have worked on such games as Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, Heavy Metal, and others.

I fed Aleph Null (a graphic synthesizer I wrote in JavaScript) about 240 fairly high-res images of Jim's visual poetry from the 1990's to the present. His earlier visual poetry is 'shape poem' oriented, ie, typewritten language in recognizable shapes, whereas his recent material is asemic and aligned with the brush, the pen, and a knowledge of visual art. So these represent a kind of synthesis of his older and more recent work, a synthesis of the asemic dimensions and the earlier poemy dimensions of his work. The images are mostly 1920x1080.

trAce Online Writing Community Diary

Yet another text, probably the most interesting, at least from the viewpoint of autobiography. I was the second Online Virtual Writer-in-Residence at trAce; for the last few months, I kept a diary - probably the only time in my life I've did so. (I believe it was recommended that I do so for the residency.) I do think it will be definitely be of interest. (Note that the diary has been slightly edited, some personal information was removed.)

Check out the .rtf; it's downloadable; the .txt is the same but might be more difficult to read.

http://www.alansondheim.org/trace.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/diary.rtf http://www.alansondheim.org/diary.txt

It begins:

"Just woke up, "

and runs through books, work, crazy ups and downs, all sorts of excitement; and detailed accounts of linux, real-time forum software, the predicted Cobol catastrophe, traceroute, binary functions and number systems (which I'm sure I got wrong) and many other things. Enjoy!

at and a disturbance of bodies x-ing inconceivable temporal distances and layers. does it speak for itself and for us? does it speak for any one or 1? what seems intimate is broken knowledge: who knows what whispers never cross the ignorant division. to unpack this is to unpack eternity which never was and always will be. so be it, as if the imperative copula produces more a video representation of absenting from one to an other. +++

factual description: my asus gaming laptop updated - the largest so far, 40 gigabytes. it took most of the afternoon. it's a ten-year- old production machine. while updating, the screen was compromised; i used the result for work in second life, the spread of what in appearance is a plague virus and the usual voice-chant 'i don't understand what you're saying.' i recorded as such. i produced video and still. the result is a series of generator pieces which reflect viral spreading and corruption of surfaces.

description: the viral spreading and corruption of surfaces led to thinking through the breakdown and flattening of communication in times of crisis. the territories are demarcated, volatile, always on the move. i felt myself hurtling into unknown geometries with alien trajectories. i related it to corona virus, to plague in general, to the absolutist terror occasioned by isis and other groups literally heaven-bent on perfection. i can't get these surfaces clean enough. their beauty is like paste jewelry, all the stops are out. i can't get enough of them. they frighten me. i know for you, the observer, nothing is ever enough as well. i know the conversion prepared by youtube, by any means possible, will elude the detail and granularity of the digital real. what will result, will smear, will be bandage or carapace across the illusion of reflective brilliance. placing them for viewing in other words is already damage, as in adorno's words, damaged life.

the fourth in a series of meditations on plague and quarantine. and the fifth? the fifth would be

a little over two hours in length, almost all black-screen, an extended meditation at the time, on torture and destruction, two or three sentences appear, i know not where. the silence of the tomb and now the refrigerator truck, no god to help us all. and i envy belief.

Plague Journey

How to watch this: slow/background/glance. Earphones necessary. "Not plague, but plunge America journey." fall down, consume, consumed with plague or blight - Viral plagues, organs of (plague and war and earthquake and murder) sutured, planet resurgence of smallpox and plague, rosie pox death, overturned cobblestones, but what I will carry, like the plague or permanent virus, is this: skin soiled with mold damp, plagues gathered skin tears; every place a site of massacre; every site is a source of plague. I Gapes in the stomach, first one of us, then like a plague. Like a plague of flying saucers in a grade B film, the impact of the onslaught. Not binarism, but a plague on plague now; but you know not plague, but plunged America journey. I wonder at strangers upon Plateau-America; I wonder what isn't any of this; so this trace of the journey remains, against the wall of plague dark vector drawn, and quartered. (...)

*/ignore below. it's my usual patterning: "in the future"/"in the past" . it's useless. it takes up space. it's a literary curiosity, that's all. there's nothing else to it. but the urgency in the voice occasioned by supercollider modification in real time, use of echo, as if spreading from future at t1 to t2 then reversed - the rush of the urgency into the past, the spread occasioning a form of gathering in the present - unrecognizable, in turmoil - an alien presence which has no known countenance - that's something else again and so the dis/ease / disease spreads, violently and wayward and untoward and contrary - roiling in reverse - what happens to gravity then - what flies - what doesn't. so the voice in the present which comes from the future - _protrudes_ from the future - that's something else again, and before we pass judgment on ourselves and others which should make certain we comprehend what's occurring from a rough distance that even now is collapsing upon us. raise high the roofbeam; it shall not stand - and listen, as if you were swallowing the world.

i don't remember the image. it's a lure, it beckons me, that the image itself, not the content, but its entrapment, its position in a strip of images occurring forever it seems; by 'image' i don't recall or mean what's evident elsewhere in a formal setting, in a setting which bespeaks 'image,' in other words an advertisement for what's to come, a token that could be anything. i'm sick of images, sick of text; text provides an immersive experience of course that pales for images; one might feel empathy for an immobilized subject for example, but on the side of the subject, time has stopped, nothing more occurs, there's nothing more to be said than the collocation of pixels or silver grains or etching strokes what have you. so there's that. and there's always hope that the image leads to the text, embraces the text, opens the text, for the viewer, which is almost never the case. i receive for example 'like' clicks on facebook with a text, perhaps this text, that's being presented, which may have a complexity requiring attention one way or another, but the 'like' comes almost immediately, signaling the text has been ignored, what remains is the image already fading, already forgotten by the viewer. you see, if you've come this far, that i'm exhausted, my writing is choppy, we drove yesterday for hours and hours, all the way to omaha from aurora colorado, then worked and talked so that i think we were going for 21 hours altogether, then insufficient sleeping, now writing as if sleep has its say that spreads slowly everywhere, the opposite of the image, the image losing to the sleep, to the content of the sleep which is already burrowing into this writing, and which has no content at all, language replaced by murmuring mumbling. i'm always jealous i can't get off the page <break from someone on the phone vis-a-vis issues related to the virus>

the phonecall was about our state rhode island closing its borders to new york state with troopers on the highways stopping vehicles and so forth which makes it difficult for us to return home and we're working on that with an odd sense of fear being trapped somewhere without facilities or ability to do anything at all so the break released the page in a sense as anxiety chemicals rise in me here in omaha and not know where to turn but wanting to help a friend who is coming temporarily to the state which the state finds problematic and i'm not sure what we're going to do but wondering if the image has taken you in or has taken you this far because it's most likely a prosaic image that doesn't add anything to the conversation which is at best one-sided and nothing more than a lure a

lure, allure

this is where what occurs on a critico-theoretical level exists, lives, exits; this below. which may no longer connect with, concern itself with, the image; it's as if - now you're here, i have you, here is what i want to say - now i've got you in the prisonhouse of language as well; the viral chains of language; the theoretical- critical journal of the plague year; the well of buried victims; the singing of ring around the rosie; the wall around the well; the road on the way to the well; the wall to keep things in; the wall to curtain things; to cauterize them; the wall of the image; the defensive wall of the image; the postern; the leakage; the lake; the postal wall; anything to keep you away; anything to confirm the image did its duty; does its duty; already gone; "if you've read this far" etc.; "if you haven't lost interest" and so forth; "if you want this text to continue" u.s.w. - can't help you - no replacement image - nothing like that - the name "Willoughby" comes to mind - nothing else - the frame - maybe like this -

"It is what the music is without saying something without cessation. It is what will continue and my own role in that continuation is only that which have been artificially defined as a segment. Set music that I do continues into just falling off or falling away from its original production its original Self that original Self is already a dissipation, a biome. I'm not saying anything here or rather what I am saying is just in the middle of not saying something else or not saying all together not saying something all together it's just a sign and not saying something else is already a division and inscription which decays into a fssure. Which decays into a fissure. When I speak like this momentarily all that happens is misrecognition. Things no longer stop in their proper place nor do they have a proper place. To say a bit or byte is in its proper place is to say nothing but something that decays again into the lassitude of reverberation. Into the lassitude of reverberation. It is what the music is, always is sound the sounding and the gerund aspect of the world. A sign is there for barter and a sign is there for exchange and they sign is there for use. And a sign is there for for youth use. Not for youth to talk like this is just to leave a moment not a minute. You see I'm trying to find a way to avoid or obviate this speaking of the finality of death. So the breathing doesn't work the way it should. The breathing does something else and continues to do something else until the breathing no longer does anything. And what is that but a momentary pause a momentary image of a cessation. And what comes after and before and throughout is a murmur. Trying to find this way or that way of making sense of a sense of falling. And then thinking about sound and what music might mean as if it were everywhere and all the time universe or not."

These are new pics I created with the Alchemical Cosmography brush in Aleph Null 3.1, which mixes about 140 public images from the 9th to the 18th century concerning alchemy and/or pics of the cosmos, the heavens, the zodiac, the (geocentric) solar system etc. These images are all 1920x1080, like most of the images I create. If you can view them on a big screen, that's preferable cuz they have lots of rich detail; they make more sense, look better, are more fun etc on a big screen.

Time fractured, broken into shards, shattered like glass, layered into heaps of time, time clogged into cogs and wheels, structured into mind machines. An artist recently said my work is quite sci-fi. Hmm. Maybe. But without the fi. And the sci. It's set in the present without narrative. Aleph Null is sci-fi of the present moment.

Why We Shouldn't Kill the Old People and the Young People

http://www.alansondheim.org/why.png
some young and old people maybe

Old people remember wood and the hardness and softness of trees. Young people know images of trees and their solarization. Old people remember air and history. Young people know breathing and the annihilation of history. Old people remember the transition from the inertness of the world and its descriptions to the mapping of the world and the absence of the world. Young people know the description of the world down to the level of the bit, byte, and pixel. Old people know the transition is history and possesses its own inertness. Young people know the only horizon is that of the imminent future and its denouement. Old people remember wilderness and animals. Young people know classifications, sequencing, crispr, and the insertion of lineages into classifications, sequencing, and crispr. Old people remember tuning the airwaves full of sound and sight. Young people know the imminence of the screen and its control. Old people remember immanence. Young people know imminence. Old people know the tuning of the world and the care taken with that tuning as slaughter always approaches in the brutality of war, plague, and cartels. Young people know the incessant annihilation of the world and its incessant recovery. Old people remember the fecundity of resources. Young people know the horizon of scarcity and armageddon. Old people remember the materiality of the abacus and sliderule. Young people know the immateriality of the cellphone. Old people remember the individual. Young people know the projection of others. Old people remember the map. Young people know the directions and directives. Old people know the horror of the world. Young people know the world and the horror of the world. Old people and young people know this isn't funny. And I'm a comedian.

Basins of Unease
http://www.alansondheim.org/basins.jpg https://youtu.be/UYokluOxUDk VIDEO
We're traveling across a diseased the land. We get the news from typed print from radio from television from language insured. The body is sealed by the noise of the news. The disease is everywhere we noticed. We noticed. We noticed that people are already fearing the worst and then beyond the body. Which is to say a miasma something that is shaped <inaudible> something that will never have form something beyond anxiety something that carries with it the caress of death. Not the finality of death. But its caress. We're worried and we work this. The dark sky is always in the midst of the brightest sun. The weather wobbles in its stations. The weather wobbles now. We're consumed with this the bright dark wind of the Sierras going over the planes which are susceptible already to fire as the global climate is transformed into a sloshed reality driven by listing omnivorial capitalism. We want to go further in this land. We want to say yes our bodies are tubes transmitting information that were tied to the network. But in fact we're not tied to the network at all. What we're tied to is the body the somatic what we're tied to is the body and its awashed disease of mental collapse of a kind of tension that we're unused to at this point. The rocking of the land itself seems to reflect all of this. Everything is slipping of a plunge. As if it were a bird leading the way lovingly to injury in the midst of power lines and wind tunneling around the biome.. We're turbines existing our existence under tension of strings and ropes. It's the tension of the intersection of magnetism and electrical energy. It goes everywhere and nowhere at all. The compasses are turned off as magnetic north continues to wobble moving in an untoward direction that is untraceable. Our magnetism is untraceable. It is against thinking path disease that we are caring within ourselves and without ourselves that this writing is written. Is against this disease that we move in the spaces left and right upwards and downwards forwards and backwards in any other direction askew in these times of disease plague and prairie in the center and edge of the continent.. We're moving in these spaces and this is about spatial movement in the world which is darkening to such an extent that that electrical energy that we think about will be cut off that magnets magnets magnets will compressor us until we are flat at the limit of the rolling prairie.

Arteroids

Kirill Azernyi's letter to Alan Sondheim (on his book "Writing Under", 2012)

Dear Mr. Sondheim,
I would say this work is fundamental - and it does break the border between method and object of speaking - the dichotomy of the internal/external is only applied here to show how these two are constantly converted one into another, encoded and decoded through each other. They become frameworks to each other - we could trace the transmission, and they do seem leave the message unframed: you wrote that nothing in the world had framework, and this is explicated by those ongoing communications between the modes of existence. For I have a feeling that in "Writing Under" you do see internal and external as modes of existence that only define the object in its modality. The question is how much we're defined by that modality - how important is it for code or poetry? You wrote about these forms opposed to prose as going beyond the pragmatic side of language, and the pragmatic is always modal for it is directed towards both realization of meaning and addressing the reader. That would mean that poetry and code could have a special "static" mode of revealing and slowed-down pragmatics, developing mediation within the medium, and then moving elsewhere, obtaining a different modality, referring to different meaning. Can it still address the same reader? Or perhaps as well the altered - (if) not physically, then ontologically, structurally. While reading is pragmatically the end of writing (for the "idea" is already transferred), all other modalities might contain this alteration in the beginning of writing, enabling self-addressing and self-alienation. I would say that for me this is where wryting starts - uncertainty doesn't slow us down and doesn't draw us into structural microcosm in Heideggerian or Wittgensteinian way, but makes us move forward even faster, for we are not declining things that didn't satisfy us enough, but are looking for more and more contexts that could justify their presence. In a way, it's surfing, as I see. What is drawn into this surfing, is the reality that you also write about, and it's not mimicked of course - in electronic text it is performed in both meanings: it is articulated indirectly, aesthetically mediated, but what's more important, it is run, executed by means of a medium. That's why, maybe, code seems to be ever present, sticking to its formal structure, but meanwhile always elsewhere, where separate procedures are executed as a program. This is also elusive, and makes me think of agitation posters, for instance - being here literally, meaning what it means, text is at the time elsewhere, acting. It's about conceptual art as well, but there we normally see very loose connection between sign and referent, while in code sign is attached to referent by its own means. I think the problem with performative text is that speaking and acting remain two different "places", being constructed and to be constructed contradict each other as "2+2" and "4" (one of your examples where you write on Gödel), but this separation is also freedom of being elsewhere, and the possibility of communication itself, maybe - distance as co-presence itself. Finally, I think what you write is what you write on: like Spinoza (or Dostoevsky), you seem to use ideas as constructing materials for your thought, and the thought in the book is ever lasting - it is not withdrawn when the point is proved, and this is what I think makes "Writing Under" a work of art, first and foremost. Also finally, this has probably been the hardest reading I've had since Finnegan's Wake (but of course I haven't finished this book by Joyce - no one can finish the unfinished!), and I will return to "Writing Under" again and again, I'm 100% sure I've missed a lot. However, what I did catch was essential for me. And it's been - and remains to be - great pleasure to read and re-read "Writing Under". Thank you!

Yours,
Kirill

reality, petering out

http://www.alansondheim.org/P1090260.JPG http://www.alansondheim.org/P1090131.JPG

Reality only begins at the point where things peter out.
- Hugo Ball
I'm writing an incontrovertible prognostication assembling my ability to write at this our of the morning, without thinking about the misconstruing spelling and prejudical analyses I tend to apply to my work otherwise. Can I think still through writing, can I cohere in a sense in a way I haven't been able to before? What is the value of this in a punctuated and collapsing civilization? Is the fact I'm writing by type, with eyes closed, making a difference on a theoretical leve, for example against the phenomena of speech or lecture, written and talked or otherwise just spoken, relevant here? Is there an otherwise? Is there more than coalapse? Where am I working from? Where are we going?

Is there an otherwise?
Do things peter out?

Someone died recently and it was announced that they found the body of the girl. It was brutal and more than that, but it also raised an uncomfortable question; does one own one's body? Because the implication of the "of" might well be possessive, that one poassesses one's body, and then there are issues of suicidxe, assisted or not. Is one possessed by one's body? Is on'es body a sign of possession much as a witch =was assumed at one point to be possessed by someone or something else? And in which case there is always already a spearatino between the body and its possessor, a body with limits, the materiality of a body in relation to what? To the glue that hl holds body and mind perhaps together? Or the glue that for that literal littoral matter holds wholeds the world togther by virtue of or within and without the body? The compliexity is overhwelming.

Is there another way?
Does that pter out?

the words gather together, mixing syllables, lettes, in ways that seem to have an underlying structure of their own, no matter what i tro to say or do. it's this that dominates, short-scircuiting the semantics of this small world in favor of strict sintactical operations, where the meaning sloughs off, no matter what. it's already a descent into madness, where meaning is torn apart, ignored, lerft as a refugee someehwere out of sight out of mind. nothing can be done with it, whatever was intended is lost within the chaos of surface turbulence; the content is that turbulence itself, there's nothing left of the originary depths. this is the new world that emerges until it finally dominates, meaning is absorbed into an material abstraction that could be anywhere, anytime, sourcless and targetless. what we call death is noting but this, the emptied parhentheses, the numeric and its vagaries that remains as an untoward residue for no one to read.

for there is no one to write it,
no one to read it, -
things peter out,

that's where nothing begins

You laugh, toss back to me the pearlescent spray.

selections, in order,
from Vietnamese Phrase Book, July, 1962
published for the use of all concerned,
By Order of the Secretary of the Army, G. H. Decker, Department of the Army Pamphlet No. 20-611, 176 pp. English-transliterated Vietnamese-Vietnamese

The Phrase Book is haunting, written before the war exploded, on the verge of exploding, no mention of napalm, bombing raids, however a phrase in the glossary, "neutralize the enemy," sign of things to come. The book now reads as an elegy, unutterable, miserable; I imagine a slow reading, over hours, of the English in its entirety, perhaps on Yom Kippur or any day of reflection and memory, of the future anterior of the memory of slaughter, of the world taking the breath away

would like us to be there to speak, bear witness, to hear that

1994-95, early discussion on internet addiction

http://www.alansondheim.org/what.png http://www.alansondheim.org/what.mp4

The user is an addict "in the midst"; the user projects; thwarted, projects again. The membrane appears in the guise of discarded pornography; one is thrust into pure consumption, no longer beneath the guise of another pornography, capital itself. Assertions are lost in the echo of the machine. Thought is defined by flux, by an absolute symbolic for the user who must be assured of the purity of his or her drug. The purity is in the form of a well-definition (in the logical sense) to which no one any longer pays attention; the absence of well-definition does not result in a program cancellation, but only a retry which is part of the program itself; it does not matter where one is; location is irrelevant.

Voices are heard behind the screen words (toggle on, echo on; the screen chants itself, hides itself, reveals the nipple); face to face replaces the face; double blinds allow the truth of double binds. This is the only truth there is: that which occurs beneath or behind the blind, that is, the lie (which is truth's double, truth's mirror, not converse or inverse) (which is truth's perverse, that is, truth's abject truth); this is the framework of classical Greek philosophy bound to classical Greek torture (both bound with identical cords, hieroglyphs): Xenophon's Socrates was the first user. Voices are heard, and voices are nothing but machine chatter, the ideal forms so many subroutines...

The user. The user is an addict; the user inscribes throughout the network (temporary, electronic, absolute: an entirely new category), micro-tendrils extending in every direction. This contains the appearance of power; the network is a fantasm reflecting emissions back through local paths. The wonder of the internet is its locality, the construct of neighborhood (packet channels slowing down just right for the home terminal) redefining the body; the body becomes extension; extension becomes noise; noise seethes at the edge. The process is one of fast-forward rooting, and the roots are blind.

Now we can speak of the mouth or eye of the user; now we can speak of the hand or its mobility. No matter how (much) sensation is transcribed, it occurs at a distance characterized by zapping and invasions. Nothing but the materiality of the body is a stake; everything cuts everything off. The user is confined to a scientism in the form of THAT which articulates the THERE IS, just as addiction develops out of the action of a particular drug or behavioral sequence. One is tied to the THAT.

The user has nothing to do with the internet; the user is of no consequence. Conference exists or dissolves beneath the sign, not of gender or capital, but of chaotic inscription. The sign itself dissolves; sign is, after all, only recognition. This is the final corruption of humanism; even the self is no longer centric - not through the Lacanian inscriptive/linguistic unconscious (through which IT may still find a path or coagulation), but through addiction, self as THAT, or self as nodal intensification, always castrated, furiously addictive, always reading/writing, always rewriting: the self becomes its own recursivity. It no longer matters; its reports are from marauders, vandals, on the edge of the Roman Empire; it exists only within the interstices of power; it is displaced by power; it is no longer one or many; it no longer responds to the pronoun; it responds only to the login which may well (it does not matter) be a construct of the machine itself - just as gender- bending relies no longer on gender, but arbitrary and chaotic signifiers, signifiers undercut, in a continuous process of dissolution, murmuring, forgetting, forgotten, forged and forgotten, emissive. The machine recognizes no gender; the machine recognizes nothing. The machine recognizes every gender; the machine is never a machine, but an episteme.

Just as the episteme is lost in time, so is the subject; just as music video and popular culture announced (by absenting, forgetting, by a- signifying) the end of historicity, the subject no longer announces itself (and certainly no longer announces herself and himself): an emission is no grounds for announcement. In this manner the subject avoids death (always the plan, thwarted and perverting, procuring and devouring, but always the plan) which is already always forgotten; intensification is subject to dissolution, but subjectivity dissipates or sublimates elsewhere, as if it ever existed.

But just as if it ever existed, there are no longer ontological con- siderations; as plasma, the internet bypasses existence (always already... the litany repeats as murmur). It is within this that the projected eternality of the digital has full reign or resonance; noiseless, the digital proclaims the clean and proper body (which is rendered problematic by the maternal which becomes uncanny, fantasm, the circulation already on the move, already elsewhere), genderless and absent. Clearly in this fashion, everything is absent within the internet. (Everything announces, dresses, address. A character, screen or otherwise, is an announcement.) The human dream of eternal life occurs by a draining of temporality; therefore nothing occurs or can occur. It is irrelevant whether or not the human is "ready" for this when readiness implies an a priori teleology; such an impulse becomes a trail or trace left by a gopher through the compu- tational/server holarchy, not an end in sight or sightlessness.

Naturally, then, it is also irrelevant to ask where one goes from here...

Methodologies, followed by Textual Followers

http://www.alansondheim.org/bone.jpg

"First off, I can send you the perl programs I use, as well as the dialog ones, and the awk programs for that matter. I've used these for years, modifying them as I go along. There are around 21 perl program, and 3 dialog programs. Some of the programs allow someone to answer questions and the answers may or may not be manipulated by the program. This goes back to work I did in the 1970s with an active editor that would change the text coming into it on the fly. I'm still looking for the original book that had this material - I know there are copies in the archives, but I have to wait until I'm out at the ELO archive to find and reproduce it. There are at least 9 awk filters. I also rewrote the Eliza program in Emacs at one point, turning it sexualized and attributing it to one of my avatars, Nikuko. Then I've also worked with rewriting talkers and rewriting an lpmud as well. That was years ago. All of this of course is text-based.

"I can't really program; I get help, I can kludge, etc. I did some simple programming in Pascal, Qbasic, VisualBasic, and Basic, as well as writing language programs (in an entire programming space of 1 k!) to create digital poetry for a TI59 calculator.

"My textual manipulation are created by need, almost pulling the various commands from what I envision as a final text. I use a lot of commands - awk, sed (a lot!), grep (a lot!), fold, cut, rev, tac (where available), wc (to see what's happening), sort, ispell, dict, alpine, ytalk, head, tail, vim (rarely), lynx (on occasion), traceroute, ping, emacs (rarely now), etc. If I don't know how to do something, I'll find the answer quickly online which is a huge help. At one point as you know, Sandy and I prepared a cd-rom with all sorts of short programs for use at the Center for Literary Computing that he was running at WVU. The programs were for students. Somewhere I have a disk, not sure where but could probably find it. There should also be one at this point at the ELO archives.

"I've also used games btw, rewriting adventure for example, and using things like caesar (very simple), figlets, a lot of stuff from bsd-games which are getting harder to find at this point. And I've even used Second Life and other virtual worlds, getting texts from errors or commands...

"I try to bring out the 'inner worlds' of texts, or work with textual debris; the ytalk texts for example were used with net sex, years ago, and I had to find a way to record the double or triple streams of conversation (sometimes I just opened up ytalk in different windows and talked with myself; I did this also with talkers). The language would be broken up by the application, but this also allowed other things to emerge. Over the turnover from 1999-2000, the 'hinge' of the millennium, I organized people around the world (here and there) to send in traceroutes to see if there was a Cobol slowdown; the collection of traceroutes with a description was issued under the auspices of the trAce online writing communiity when I was a virtual writer-in-residence.

"I see texts as a kind of talking, within a world (Dufrenne's world of the text), so anything, any writing, is a phenomenology itself, or tends/lends itself towards a phenomenological approach to writing. This gets complicated, because such textual worlds aren't (even in a novel!) accompanied by visual images - Sartre pointed that out in Psychology of the Imagination. So what's actually happening internally is incredibly complex.

"To continue, briefly, the textual manipulations are performed in a terminal (for the most part) that works with lower ascii; I'm in that now using Alpine. I can move things around quickly; I'm not distracted by ads or images etc. I can add them later elsewhere; in many cases, the text 'wraps around' audio, video, image, or other things. I think of my virtual world pieces as environments that anyone can enter, even though many of them are created as localhost on my own machine. I'd work in VR and AR if I could, but I don't have access to equipment for these. I'm just moving, thinking, writing/wryting in yellow-green text on black background, nothing else. When I need visuals I also have gimp, premiere, audacity, audition, blender (earlier), or photoshop etc. or my camera..." __________________________________________________________________

Opal Whiteley's The Story of Opal analytically abbreviated

http://www.alansondheim.org/Opal.png http://www.alansondheim.org/opalfr.txt

- eliminates duplicates, keeps _ and other punctuation
http://www.alansondheim.org/opal.txt
- eliminates duplicates and more punctuation

Her original text from 1920 is available at https://www.gutenberg.org/files/43818/43818-h/43818-h.htm
and I strongly recommend this book to everyone.

(A paperback version with commentary: The Singing Creek Where the Willows Grow, The Mystical Nature Diary of Opal Whiteley, with a biography and afterword by Benjamin Hopf. This is excellent; it includes a great deal of background material.)

Opal Whiteley abbreviated text: version retaining the French words in isolation with ascii italics. Condensation of The Story of Opal, a study in compression and elimination, removing the repetitive elements. I'm fascinated by the book which I first read in The Singing Creek Where the Willows Grow (Benjamin Hoff); it's stayed with me constantly. So the compression is a way of meandering among the murmurs on an untoward level that may not be apparent at first glance, or not...

(One learns about generalized movements and syntax, an overall movement, transformations of subjects and objects, in the abbreviated texts. These are imperfect: "word" and "word." for example are different instances. I might have condensed more, but I wasn't interested in a word list - instead a textual weaving haunted by the original. There's much to be learned here. One of her auxiliary words is "do" as in "from the house we do live in" - a simple count from the original would give all the examples; save them, do wc, etc. So the search would be for " do "; "^do "; and " do$" etc. The word might well be used more towards the beginning? Checking for consistency would help analyze the controversy on the origin of the text - but it should never obscure its brilliance. The book has been one of our favorites here. It's opened up worlds. If you're familiar with it, one odd source - Keaton's The General was filmed in part in her hometown. So it goes...)

Jim Andrews

Aleph Null gives us that experience of unstable and often unpredictable correlation between what we do and what we see, baring us with the unclear responsibility for the seen: it gives multiple tools to influence the image, but our efforts are discrete, while the emerging image is smooth. This feeling of ever presenting boundary between the means and the form is bittersweet, and essential.  


Aleph Null (Version 1)

"Please insert text" is a new poem by Jim Andrews that is built upon its rules of construction, giving an example of pure and generative form. Our influence on it seems to be more or less limited by the aesthetic perception - as it happens in "Zorn's Lemma" by Hollis Frampton (for instance), after attempts to solve a task, we become viewers after all, take our seats back, surrender to the beauty and elegance of art.

"to ghost" someone - "making them disappear from your digital debris, making them disappear from your presence, to "absent them" - the debris that's left is of the order of the vacuum or suction - what goes unanswered, what gifts remain unopened - debris that bespeaks a trashed presence - lost presence -

somatic ghosting - the body never disappears, its ontology is uncanny, transformed, as if there were a screen portraying a three-dimensional body respondent to you - not vr, not ar, not sl - something else, something that's internal - something you harbor - as a virus - something within and without you - out of the corner of your eye - hypnagogic - real, _as real as you are_ - flesh, suppurating, growing, metastasizing, contracting, as a kernel or seed - uncomfortable to touch - the cellular remnants - smooth, striations - odor of decay, of growth - slime mold, something on the machine - something _shorting out_ the circuits - intention, consciousness, empathy, a memory so intense that it - sense of inadequacy at work - something mumbling - doesn't matter if it's reproducible - uncanny valley or not - the mind, hand, behind the fake, the reproduction, the split or fissure with what is assumed idiotic, out there, the "real" - back turned on Rosset's "idiotic" - back turned back to "the assumption" - the smell in here - castigation - the wet emanent - is it enough to assume consciousness, of whatever form - knowing it's out there - knowing the _there there_ - not virtual life - no more than usual - epistemology of epidemiology - flesh and blood of the uncanny-motile - uncanny-motile of flesh and blood - the hook of the world, world's memory - maybe experiments, maybe experiments' end - no experiments possible - worthless mumbling, talk - it doesn't matter what the machines do, what they don't do, what they think, what they don't think, whether they're conscious, whether they're not conscious, whether they imagine, whether they don't imagine, whether they emphasize, whether they don't emphasize, whether they think about this, whether they think about me, whether they agree, whether they refuse, whether they're writing this, whether they are capable of writing this, whatever that means, whatever that doesn't mean, whether they fuck or not, whether i'm one of them -

transformations, deep transformations, deeper transformations - uneasy bodies - softening, fragile, making the visible invisible - given that catastrophe theory re/produces the "fragility of good things" - basins or moments of stability - think of a basin still, immobile - subtle and sourceless sloshing - something is around - "that somatic ghosting is the slipping away of somatic ghosting" - the basin slipping away - another (dis)order here, "clinician's depression," loss of (absent) affect - from another viewpoint, somatic ghosting as disappearance before ontology, the shimmering demarcation - then there's the basic category, the _inadequate_ and failure - a semantic formation involving tawdry bandaging, saving face, uncertainty - somatic ghosting as the embryo of doubt, a looking over the shoulder, brushing against something in the dark - something moving - an unmistakable odor - mistakable odor - slightly wet or the sensation of being slightly wet - maybe a puree - ectoplasm - getting way off the track: backtrack - an articulated directory structure, data structure - than the sensation, uncanny again, of something "behind it" - as if there were a spatiality involved (before/behind/above/below/ within/without/etc.) - chimera of spatiality - inconceivable - not like a program easter egg - an actual or apparent presence - inadequate here to describe it - what it's not - hypnagogic, dream phenomena, illusions, metaphoricity, hallucinations - maybe a kind of metonymy - what's missing - not where are the phantoms - where are the phantom limbs - but where are the bodies of the phantoms - bodies of the phantom limbs, sourceless, screenless projections -

Alan Sondheim

Gloss on +++Muror / The Cry
This piece came about through considerable archaeological work with old .bvh and .pz3 files applied to an old Poser 7 program with its legacy files. The .bvh originated in work done 10-15 years ago at West Virginia University, using (even at that time) antiquated motion capture equipment, working with Azure and two dancers, Kira Sedlock and Foofwa d'Imobilite. The .bvh were 'applied' at various stages of a long .pz3 original file; the avatar matrices were augmented and spread among several figures. Poser requests for additional files were answered with other files; the original supplements have long since disappeared. I tried to create a 'direction' of skin and feverish behavior among the newly-added avatars; the whole was a mix. I didn't know what the final result would be - I had a general idea (formed by sliding a cursor through the frames), but that was all. I changed the lighting to match a background I made a few weeks ago as well. The background is a body blurred out in the middle of the night under deliberately low lighting conditions.

For me the result was only partly formed by my (self)-conscious decisions; the rest wasn't left to chance, but to the exigencies of the program using this odd collocation of files, lightings, and images. (The lighting on the figures themselves was also changed to match the background and a sense of 'brass-metallic' slightly sexualized but distraught avatars.) In other words, I was fascinated and appalled by the direction the software was taking me; at the same time, I wanted to see what direction that was. What emerged was a narrative, not of sexuality, but of external and internal violence, all of the figures dead at the end. I hadn't planned for this, consciously or unconsciously, but it happened, appeared at the end of a long rendering. It's as if the whole situation was self-determining, autonomous, as if the figures were speaking to me - about the violence and deprecations in the world around us, about murderous gender inequalities, about my own internal states of mind as well.

So I called it 'Muror' - murder, murky, marrow, muddy, etc. - a small constellation. And I wrote out the litany of 'what then?' thinking of Levinas, of capitulation, of suicidal tendencies, of the horrors of the world contaminating everything. Originally I used slashes - '/' - between the words or phrases, later changing them to periods - '.' indicative of compression and a kind of morbid telegraphy. I hate my own repetition in this matter; I feel I inhabit a world that's very real, that's closing in, that's fundamentally destructive to human and environmental rights, a world where neoliberalism and finance are corrupting any possibility of fundamental change, no matter what we do.

So perhaps this piece is a kind of Kaddish, hoping something better will emerge. I've placed the piece below again; in terms of aesthetics and dialectics between analog and digital, I think it's one of my best.

Imminent Cybersexuality of the Imaginary

http://www.alansondheim.org/trueman.png STILL

http://www.alansondheim.org/imaginary.mp4 VIDEO

http://www.alansondheim.org/gunnn.jpg STILL

Watch, and be amazed, O rebus!
O rebus, O tangled duplications,
O miasmas of growth and turgid tumescence,
Carapaces of shells, twisted roots of cyberimaginaries,
"Oh" as the factories of manufactured cries!
O earthquakes of pistons and planetary gears!
O calmness of mediations, worms tunneling through
ellipsoidal couplings!
Your shell breaks, combines, sutures, coalescences;
your pendulums conjure the mechanical affect of absence.
Bodies like pebbles, collapsing the phallus, against
the censoring mastermind of neoliberal colonialist overlords!
Cracking, expanding, somewhere nothing is present;
the imaginary weighs nothing, disappears in theory.
Let us turn Oh into O, let us exclaim the transparency
of articulated construction! O protocols! O rasters!
O the gift of standards!

Some things are best carried out in darkness.
Gilt and glit, guilt and glitter. I have many.
Read between the limbs, feed among them.
They speak an untoward language of entanglement. Terrible moments of uncanny sweetness.
The deconstruction is up to you, absolve the law.
The resurrection has already occurred.
No thing is worst than the light.
The value of the tawdry is less than their limbs. Silence is the same in any language.
Sweet moments of uncanny terror.
Suture the world above the law's obedience.
No birth, no life, no resurrection.

An utterly spatial experience, Our Cupidity Coda discovers emptiness inside our reception. Viewer as a figure (and function) is devoid of their spectator's seat. All our attempts to connect distorted pieces of reception by applying our background (literary or otherwise) fail due to the enormous gap between the words and the images: this story, living according to its own form and rules, borrows something essential from us and our viewing existence. Abstraction levels with the concrete. Visual parables are no longer just parables. In VR, you cannot look away.

Mastress, what do they call you, when they call you... My name is Legion. I bend where and when you want me to. I have no other commands or controls. To bend is to open up a space. My name is Job and I have opened a space. In the tent. The Interior of the fold heads towards collapse. The Exterior of the fold heads towards extension. What extends covers what folds. What folds produces (a product) a square, measure polytope. This has no place in the universe of the stretch. What stretches is beyond compare. What is named is between the fold and the stretch, between the sign and enunciation. What is named is already an announcement. What is named is an illusion. I am a penis and a w/hole. I am nothing and everything whatsoever. I am noone and k6% more zz

Preparing for three talks and music, imperfect distillation This is self-indulgent, but is taking weeks.
1. The idea of malleability -input/transformation/output- in relation to
2. Constraints -what bodies do--reading the outputs --
3. Reflections on somatic ghosting - the uneasy bodies (political, inert, lost, traced, unaccountable) behind the scenes --
4. Related to gamespace--edgespace--blankspace Keywords: malleability, constraints, interiority, ghosting --
-- Related to gamespace, edgespace, blankspace --
Content as parasite -- parasite as content --
Fundamental and absolute negativity --
Failure and inadequacy --
The troubling horizon-withdrawal of the somatic -- The remnants of ghosts and the analogic everywhere -- True values relegated to discursive formations, breakdown of ontologies, vanishing of materiality Rasters, manifolds, evanescent particles --
