Sketch for Teen Romance (Triangles)

After a nuclear war, there is a second nuclear war, even bigger than the first. This causes mutations among the survivors of the first nuclear war, eventually killing them after a period of painful radiation poisoning. Several teens survive however; to be exact, three teens. These teens start a new civilization and also a love triangle. Many guns were left over from the war, although some had melted in the nuclear explosion. The teens make a pile of these guns on a table that was undamaged from the nuclear explosions, both the first and the second explosion. Somehow this table had survived while all the other people on the planet aside from these teens had not. The pile looks like a pyramid. They enjoy a meal of baked beans, as that is the only food left on the planet. They also make a pact that no matter what happens, they will not repeat the mistakes of their parents. They sing a song, but not about the proletariat or anything. Most likely it is about love.

#IPHONE SIX EXPERT OPINIONS~!!!! (horse edition)

Positional Triangles and the Stereoscopic mechanism

The Air Loom, with its alliance of Euclidean geometry and paranoia, of obscure chemistry and conspiracy, of mechanics and psychiatry, of repressed science and politics, seems to provide a distorting mirror to scientific modernity, to inhabit a paradoxical space in which epistemic divides are all at once put to work, torn apart more sharply, and relaunched further. The Air Loom, understood as a world-making image that exteriorizes the interiority of a subject (however delusional), can thus be said to navigate a modern border, a frontier between an object of scientific attention (madness) and the technology by which this attention produces factual truth (the clinic): the boundary that both pulls apart and connects objectivity and schizophrenia.

from #ACCELERATE MANIFESTO by Alex Williams and Nick Srnicek

22. We need to revive the argument that was traditionally made for post-​capitalism: not only is capitalism an unjust and perverted system, but it is also a system that holds back progress. Our technological development is being suppressed by capitalism, as much as it has been unleashed. Accelerationism is the basic belief that these capacities can and should be let loose by moving beyond the limitations imposed by capitalist society. The movement towards a surpassing of our current constraints must include more than simply a struggle for a more rational global society. We believe it must also include recovering the dreams which transfixed many from the middle of the Nineteenth Century until the dawn of the neoliberal era, of the quest of Homo Sapiens towards expansion beyond the limitations of the earth and our immediate bodily forms. These visions are today viewed as relics of a more innocent moment. Yet they both diagnose the staggering lack of imagination in our own time, and offer the promise of a future that is affectively invigorating, as well as intellectually energising. After all, it is only a post-​capitalist society, made possible by an accelerationist politics, which will ever be capable of delivering on the promissory note of the mid-​Twentieth Century’s space programmes, to shift beyond a world of minimal technical upgrades towards all-​encompassing change. Towards a time of collective self-​mastery, and the properly alien future that entails and enables. Towards a completion of the Enlightenment project of self-​criticism and self-​mastery, rather than its elimination.



Alex Williams, Nick Srnicek, "#Accelerate: Manifesto for an Accelerationist Politics", Critical Legal Thinking blog, 14 May 2013; repr. in Dark Trajectories: Politics of the Outside, ed. Joshua Johnson, Miami: Name, Aug 2013; repr. in #Accelerate#: The Accelerationist Reader, eds. Armen Avanessian and Robin Mackay, Urbanomic, 2014. "We believe the most important division in today's left is between those that hold to a folk politics of localism, direct action, and relentless horizontalism, and those that outline what must become called an accelerationist politics at ease with a modernity of abstraction, complexity, globality, and technology."

#1 - #17

An abrupt new sound
in the square
speaking tongues.
The noise,
an eye.
His twine stretched
from one to other.
This part
cut
cut from
another part.
Across the square
a dog's body,
his ventriloquist.
My mouth
addresses
my eye.

Now At The Uncertain Hour from Wes Kline on Vimeo.

Now At The Uncertain Hour. Video shot and edited for a play in which I am doing sound and music design. Opens May 9 at Edwards Opera House, Edwards, NY.

In fact, I am but a relay myself

Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry's potentiomètre d'espace. The performer would control various dynamics of sound by modifying the body between the rings.

Body of work

 

I have been working on sound and video design for the production Corpus, written by Canadian playwright Darrah Teitel, which opens May 1 in Ottawa. If you are around the Ottawa area you should stop by.

The small supplementary mixer at the bottom was constructed by Richard-Yeoman Clark. The box on top of the Delaware contains a standard BBC Peak Programme Meter (PPM)."

Louis Althusser, 1978.

You speak of “disgust”; I hear this word around me from among the best of them. And yet here it’s not as it is in your country, but it’s the same word. It’s the word that openly says that we can no longer find our place in all this shit and that it’s vain to look for it, for all places are carried along by the insane course of things. We can no longer bathe at all in a river. Unless you’re a picket planted in the current that silently holds on. To a bit of terra firma. The important thing is to find this bit of earth beneath the waters. After all, it’s the “shaking-up of the world” of Montaigne who, when it comes to conjunctures, saw quite a few of all kinds. But the book is already written; you have to find something else.

- Althusser, letter to Merab, 1978.

There is a child, a child inside of her mother, a child listening, listening to the echo of her own hand pushing through water. It is quiet, but not still. Her ears forget to listen, to her mother's heartbeat, to her digestion, to her blood. She decides that she is a plant, inside an animal, growing towards....
