Walking
is an act of seeing
is an act of reading
is an act of
walking
The specificity of that moment
Outside and inside
a dialectic of division,
the obvious geometry
metaphorical domains
The sharpness
of the dialectics
of yes and no;
we decided everything.
A basis of images that govern all thoughts of positive and negative.
Circles that
overlap or exclude
each other,
and all their
rules immediately
become clear.
Philosophers confronted with outside and inside,
the terms of being
and non-being.
This surface
is painful on both sides.

“inventing a story

“a moment happening; what I’m trying to do with my work is really try to sandwich these ideas into a clear understanding of how technologieshave always existed within our community; there are a lot of entanglements that are hard to parse; you don’t have to install it on your computer in order for it to work, which is important to me because, we put the program on a zip
drive that I can pick up and take somewhere else, this kind of mobility, conceptually and actually. we are interested in taking what we have, no matter how traumatic or joyful, and seeing where it goes. the conception is really at the base of the things that we are making.”
literature is that neuter,
that composite,
that oblique
into which every
subject escapes,
the trap where
all identity is lost,
beginning with
the very identity
of the body
that writes.

it will always be impossible to know, for the good reason that all writing is itself this special voice, consisting of several indiscernible voices, and that literature is precisely the invention of this voice, we cannot assign a specific origin:
nonfunctional exercise machines, and animated pictures i took of my skin in a video i projected over an entire wall. humanness is fundamentally an illusion, and in order to avoid normativity, we prefer to disassemble my own body; to take my skin, reanimate it into fluid waves, and make exercise machines that have their own artificial intelligence, machines that let you know that if you think you’re going to get a workout on them, it’s probably not going to happen.
