ONE HAND CLAPPING, TWO PHONES BEEPING:

 




Image listing:
1. Enlightenment (Combine all ingredients and stir lightly.)
2. Wonderment (And Alice thought she had problems..)
3. Ergonomica (I've been sitting here for three hours, they're not the most arse-numbing seats.)
4. Dasein (Center of my universe.)
5. See, hear, communicate (Reality has to be plugged in somewhere, I guess.)
6. Event Horizon (She said that I said that he said that she said that I said... she might be right.)
7. Blind? (Can almost see if I squint hard enough.)
8. Hidden Exit (Wish I knew where we were going..)


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
