Fauxtography / Voodoo

Here’s my favourite of several photographs I’ve been making out of play dough and woodens. Soon the magic will sink in and no one will ever be able to take photographs again. Am working in total alchemical dark ages. Want a photo blog/Supreme Indulgence. Figuring on a Nice (read: counterrevolutionary/starching/sellout C says) Presentation.

Getting closer to the feature film – Coming down the home stretch on some hyper-physical post-everything landcollapes – A list of performances, real and imagined – The culmination of these puppet shows…I must to reengage with Bilingual Acts. Accents. Etc. (learn every language)

In literature, Houellebecq’s Possibility of an Island, Debord’s Society of the Spectacle, Guillermo-Gomez Pena’s The New World Border, Bhanu Kapil Rider’s stunning The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers and of course Joey de Jesus and Ted Rees’ delicious poems. Should be about to start Of Grammatology for the lettrism.

Quaternary

Beast: from hurt and harm to the absence of presence, this time it really is a body WITHOUT organs, orifice to the void. Taut – Rigid – Swift – Herbivorous – Immobile – Misshapen – Ovis. A replete, constant (stuck between time), bleating opening.

A strange fruit derivative: the organ that bears the machine/the skin that stretches its age upon itself, between its rifts. Metallic fetus  wrapped in a shrinking womb of dead flesh.

She seemed a certain cocoon of culture, a bondage to the semiotic, wrapped/bound-up-in a series of imposing identities. And the simultaneous exorcism of genre, to de-scribe “woman” as an entire filmic experience.

Metaphysical_Landscape #3: this should settle, serve as a warning, it knows itself (to be/not be); the reverberations of inhabitation haunt the dreams of its homeless EXODUS–<–<–GENESIS, a microcosmic urban delicacy slicing  the parallel-universe pie.

Newsreel: My left arm keeps getting hairier as I harbor an increasing interest in video game art and the misrepresentation of everyday objects. Hold me to account. The PGH police are, trial June 10th, two felonies for dancing.

Which one of these sexual deviants is out of place?

New Alphabetic (beginnins)

Their tails, their little strings, lent me to thinking whether our own common/shared letters don’t have similar structures to affix them to our own realities like teeth/claws (it’s about time I undertake a critical analysis of the /slash/ eh what IS that thang??). To the right, at the behest of eliza koch (esp) I started on a traditionally formulaic poem. It’s telling also to harvest parts, parcels of  whole bodies, as if to employ merely a limb, merely the cerebellum. Still I lack an adequate punctuation. “Go Deeper! Go Deeper!” what the hell? But it skirts the kernel pretty handily. I need a DIY hologram printing press for better approximations. What does it mean to have an ~lphabet be In-Colour? A kind of synaesthetic imposition, arrest? Consider the strata of numerical sign-systems, the extreme fundamentalizing logic of relativity in musical semiotics, the Korean linguistic engineers, a comparative analysis?

Here’s the array as it stands (click for detail). All etymological, all phonetic/ideogrammatic uninvested autore(non)presentations. Some are incorporated from other traditions (i.e. attempts to hoodoo photography and the [fascio(the accidental fascist/the dental fascist)-]photographic traditions), the eleventh errant and missing. Any object could be described as a letter. As to whether this is asemic…

fanfiction

a column of bold he-goats descend, each holding a different note in tremolo. they are referencing a certain film. a little girl enters, bursting through the membrane of the womb “i have just made orgasm!” she cries and collapses in a pool of blood. Noah’s ark crash-lands on the moon, seventeen thousand giraffes dive on Sally and begin a petty bourgeois  squabble for her virgin flesh….
No, it was a joke-forest: the return of the flying ape-rats, relentlessly pursuing all the now quite disheveled and melting police-men….”everybody hates us” they thought. “we knew it would come to this: being pursued and violated by strange winged animals  through an unstable and fluxing landscape of gingerbread and licorice…”
Noah’s ark crash lands on the moon a third time, splinters like my mother’s femur. the mother goddess has defecated a heap of refrigerators beside gabriel garcia marquez, and without Reality, they are melting there! yet by this time, all the goats have begun to shimmer so that they are now scarcely recognizable as mammalian creatures, only a kind of egotistical poesis, touched by one of the god’s continually uncausing excretions.
and the witless alphabet reaches the very depth of my urethra, or the magical unknown genital that is the seat of self just as noah’s ark crashes a fourth time into that fermenting clod,…
pity to see such a beautiful pregnant moose crucified during childbirth escaping the bounds of selfhood.
Now there is a sudden supernova!
…Noah’s ark crashlands on the moon again, in a resplendent vegetable sodomy. “Jesus!” little rufus, emmelina, and the others, gathering up their belongings and heading off to the play field for another round of ritual self immolation and cannibalism, stopped to ask the progress. and they skipped past the sweltering horde of hogs and policemen being raped and blinded in their sleep by the now postcolonial rabbits (sometimes joined by anarcho-primitivist flying New York ape-rats, refugees from the second catastrophic lunar encounter) all of whom stood firmly against the chauvinistic/fascistic morays of the State

but this time there is a giant who has all the answers, unfortunately, he is a nihilist. he begins to crush things

Back to Postliteracy

(Courtesy the lovely Matt O’Connell:) “Asemic writing is a wordless open semantic form of writing” – Michael Jacobsen’s The Giant’s FenceThe Neoist ManifestoThe Letterist InternationalXu Bing is phenomenal, creating near but evasive approximations of chinese characters, so many are doing near what I. I imagine I’ll be posting on The New Post-Literate Blog as soon as I can get good feet of my letters. Maybe the Old One’s worth a ramble too though – he was backwards & downish a moment.

At long last, Jim Rowell’s honor’s project is blasting. Thunderous

I care for ten chickens, five cats and a hedgehog named Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Cat dives into long deep box. Franklin navigates from within green ball.

Heading into Bakunin’s God and the State, revisiting the Italian literary magazine Cuteness and Complexity (sex between dinosaurs, right), Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle. The Dada Section is coming along. I must learn french. Remy is teaching me now: the Sorbonne has uploaded 200 hours of Deleuze’s lecutures. Christ/Hallelujah, but my illiterate ears! (if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out)

here’s 3 songs

sally shapiro – jackie junior remix

the breeders – do you love me now

dona summer – love will always find you

I Think… that there is Free-Will, but We Can’t Use It.

Surgery. I woke up kind of flailing, fighting them. Knowing I’d been cut-into. Bad Juju. “your body will remember” she said i thought she said. Later it was like there was a sure monster under there, and not knowing in the darkness where the soul of my Left was, as it floated place, place to place. I am loathe to remove, to uncover this wound, though when I saw the Little One she was so elegant, so lithe, so fine – now it is a small horror “are you comparing/ to sexualized violence” Well. Well. The hospital gave me garters. To prevent blood clots. And I realized God was Telling (yelling at) me to WRITE A SCREENPLAY, OR ANY KIND OF PLAY WILL DO REALLY, MY SON. Nevertheless, I feel a void, a moving empty, fixed to a hole, wreaking hurt upon myself retroactively realizing the sacred impenetrability of Bodies, of This Own, shuddering, misunderstanding the flesh of self, becoming cyborg. I did not realize how many knots I tie.

self portrait 2 october 009

Then, I git so feral werewolf seeing [people try to be making] art; art art the most depressing, the bleakest wretching. Someone in me had been constructing something of a voodoo charm, a monolith against photography, to curse it, render it mute, unetchable.But maybe…. ‘Staged’-'Narrative’. Some seem so wealthy. “Do you like narrative?” Am I blaspheming against myself? Superiority is the worst of them all: if your X causes you to sin, PLUCK IT OUT. (But I don’t want to make any monoliths… or unless if just hella monoliths, right?) wait. someone’s knocking on the glass. Fuck. I’m Outed. …Having realized that to invest my letters with any kind of phonetic or ideogrammatical specificity would cause their sudden impotence – then, perhaps I could arrange them – or, but, when, whell, the linearity of that device itches like a ‘mother – Dead end letter? Every couple supple years I learn that words have the power to Change, to Make-Things-So (like in genesis: why is revelation the end what does that imply. o yea). And how we can deceive ourselfs, our others, with the misplacement of those signifying forms, thrilling in trembling ears. How about disrespecting the audience, taking their clothes off, exposing their ignorant incapable incipient stupidity. Are we that brave, sisters? Horrible sirens wine into the drifting sentience in my skull. I am silenced. Fixed. Transposed. My skin sticks to itself, to my bones, to the blackness of feeling it shirks from, unescaping. GET UP, BOY. MIND YOURSELF. Fuck you. Douche. Get off my back. Darwin, etc. Credit where credit is due. No: fuck you, fuck copywrighting and copyreading, you cannot chain an idea. Glean images from the monotreme tropes of search engines. They’ll catch up to you.

Here’s All I Owe: 1.video of the nutcracker/ the puppet show projected onto itself/ a live feed/ lights/ electronique 2.more recien sounds  3.portuguese i had promised  4.page Dada  5.page Lilit’ 6.all the postcards I had requited to all of you [i miss you, i love you, come to me that i may vanish and be with you invisible] 7.

Those of you in-waiting: The Answer Is Yes. Mexico DF. We Are Going To Do It. Capitals! March Out!

Yes, MK signed my bright pink cast, surely as a gesture of complicity, of truce. Oberlin Earth First is going now, the trial proceeds. But am I a pretty Dealer? These garters speak of – but she has given me a Work to Do, for all the nihilism of my Great Clock: to see on/ signify on K.Schwitters,  D.Hammons, JM.Basquiat, -david salle, joseph beuys, francesco clemente and God Said WRITE BRIEFLY ABOUT WHAT THEIR SUBTLE DIFFERENCES ARE. DO NOT READ ABOUT THEM! Here I am, Lord. Yet, somehow the fierce taxidermied Australian Bat has not arrived, and I suspect providence. In all this, please write if you have a comprehens-ible/ive thought on what’s Adultery. The convenience [yeeeaai?] of santa-Klaus as the centering moral compass for a post-capitalist consumer society; & if i am good4goodness’ache i’ll get what i want, right? Furthermore I have decided to erode all existing images and photographs of myself and render all future renderings impossible by describing them as abstract compositions. So graffiti is Not Art Warfare and even to ascribe a gesture would obviate our colletive failure towards any attempt on approximations of thehuman form. Is it, then, that it comes out a mess, all a mess, and I am incapable, or refusing to be cleaned? That there is a certain pride in that grotesquery, in that filth. He has me WRITE THESES EVERY DAY, BOY! DESCRIBE YOUR FLUXING INTENTION! INVENT YOURSELF. ‘ll acquiesce.

Please read about me on the newest anonymous gossip site. There’s no search function, so it’ll take some digging time. Versad k 2 nomas keeresz ellamore de 2 missimo?

What I’m Working On (Recuperation…)

zeus-ex-maquina

Back to work then. The felony’s minding its own business for now, and I’m working to draw more and more folks into this mix: Comparatists, Aestheticians, Philosophers, Radicals. It’s hard to know what sounds to accept, what’s residually declining, what’s a series of cheap tricks and fashion and what has earnest substance, but in the end YES = NO all of the time.

One thing I’ll try to post up ASAP is my atempt to unearth/create a series of semiotic structures that fall somewhere between a syllabary and a more earnestly metaphoric collection. They’re not quite logograms, but neither are they phonemes, graphemes, ideograms or more traditionally understood letters.

I have terrible gas after hitchhiking back from PGH on Wednesday.

Here’s some sound from a recent Noise Collective:

48:00, w/ many of us, OR Just me on the Viola

So. Whether to pursue the phallocentrism of thesis driven argumentation. It’s not interesting. I just want to consider things, peruse, indulge. Reductively put, your left brain makes up lies to fit life into a narrative, while your right says “Oh, there’s a Thing. Aha! There’s another Thing. Hey! Woah! A third Thing!” taking everything in regardless of contradiction, causality, etc. How, then, to write? Well. We’ll see.

Check out The Class of Nuke Em High.

I’ve been doing a weekly radio show about Winnie the Pooh (Litcrit, theory, Noise) Tuesdays 1-2pm on WOBC (college & community radio, crank it up), and they’ve got my last week’s  in the archives – I’m running on zero sleep so my syntaxes are a little in’n’out, but the mixes back in the ground seem ok.

G20, Jail

cow2I went to Pittsburgh last week to protest the G20 (yea the impotence of protest, efficacy, problematics, etc… let’s talk about it) and was, to my dismay, arrested while walking across a bridge with my friend in upper Oakland. I John Doe’d & was three days in jail before my friends bounced me at from a fund we’d thankfully raised preemptively, and am now looking at potentially endless court dates and worse – e-mail me for worst & best case scenarios.

Banksy has a relevant and selfish quote on his coverpage, akin to the Crimethinc folks’ “Homelessness: if you’re not having a good time you’re not doing it right.” The subsequent sentence is perfectly placed, privileged.

Here’s Some Excerpts and things from inside. I’ll be more forthcoming with stories and thoughts in the next days. With all contradiction, I think I’ve come to see fear of jail as a classist perpetuation. Do not actively pursue jail, but do try to loosen yourself from any fear of it.

09-9-28/00:30 – I am released from jail on $5,000 bail.
09-9-28/21:00-I am elected Liaison of Oberlin’s Student Senate. Naw. We’re gonna work wonders this semester. Just you wait.

So I’m Out On Bail charged with a Felony 3rd degree of RIOT and Misdemeanor 2nd degree of FAILURE TO DISPERSE. I’ve realized that Matthew 18:20’s “where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name” is also the PA legal definition of rioting (i guess u need more for an orgy – 6, right? – than for a riot), so maybe I’ve discovered how to worship at long last. And how I dispersed! Now we’re gonna start a citizen’s  court (“nation state” “standing army” “human rights” Please.) & charge everybody who wasn’t there with FAILURE TO RIOT and DISPERSAL. My first pre-trial hearing was a postponement until the 21st of Oct, and I’m gonna need a Legal Fund. Please Donate.
