| Introduction | "[...]the academic grappling with his computer, ceaselessly correcting, reworking, and complexifying, turning the exercise into a kind of interminable psychoanalysis, memorizing everything in an effort to escape the final outcome, to delay the day of reckoning of death, and that other -fatal- moment of reckoning that is writing, by forming an endless feedback loop with the machine." ~Jean Baudrillard "America"(1986) Which is about as pretentious way of introducing my digitally mediated persona as I could steal. I am an anarchist, but not of the aspirational variety: I believe chaos & chance reign supreme, and that all politics are mere weak theatre. Like Blake (& Crowley) I believe everything that is was imagined first, and vividness counts. |

Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
The peel, cause it sends people flying...
