notes on meaning, origin & production (a collection of notes usually presented as a ‘statement’ )
- idea. void space = quantum ether.
- idea. mobile phone + system response = one hand clapping, or rather sploshing in the ether (splosh = signal loss)
- rationale + context = meaning?
- puns & cynicism.. who, us? Never…
- plastic, metal, wire, glass. that’s all it is.
- communication, projection, relativity.
- suburban reality & how it gets around.
- symbiosis of network & human identity.
- communique dependent/independent on/of technology, systems & knowledge of such.
- All I want is the freedom to be me.
- Dasein n (German) (from dasein to exist, from da there + sein to be) In Hegelian terms, existence, determinate being; in existentialism, human existence, the being of a person in the world.
- presence/absence; sense/non-sense; being/non-being; interior/exterior; these are a few of my favourite things…
- systems of attention & their dialectics [distortion + clarity = attention on the focusing of the eye & of consciousness = establishment & analysis of communication].
- absence of the physical body = the system subsuming the subject [re: coldness inherent in digital communication: nada person, nada warmth]
