fragmentary theses on communication
“hunger/makes the world blind” –a poet once said…
the following theses where found in an archive recently. whatever they are saying, and i think that it is what they say that could be interesting, the echos of novalis and debord straining for an impossible synthesis make for amusing reading.
1. life seeks to recur. this is important for the maintenance of a thesis, which itself, generates only its likeness while differing with the world absoprtion that denies thought and art any functional probability and sets them both in relationship with danger, death, supernatural enigma and social unrest.
2. just the way things fall is perfectly correct and a minimal or reductionist changement in the direction of order is choatic, interventionist. it leads to interest in aesthetics and classical mourning.
3. there is no reason to think. that is the reason we do. there is no reason to do, so we think. life seeks to recur. these words erase themselves in order to be real words in your mind. these sounds do not stand alone. you are the stand alone player. your eyes stray from the sceen. distance enters.
4. time is a prisoner of the body. the thought-maker stands at the edge of thought and ordains music minister of bringing hands to work on the unity of the species. freedom is the thing made by these hands which never possess what they make.
5. the concept of logically ordering theses is an affect of recurrence. this affect reveals not one unity for order but the desire for an otherness of order. order and freedom are seen to be intimately related but in no orderly fashion. the institution of mannerism leads one to think the linea seprentina is a kind of place where thought and nature coincide in an erotic illusion. this produces numbers if not numerology.
11. the theory of the erotic and the locative, like the dynamics of illusion, display themselves only in particle bombardment situations: huge machines create invisible entities of probability that have little or no effect on the machines themselves unless something goes radically wrong. the mastery of the machine emerges in the theory that makes the machine obsolete.
6. this is only the begining, stuck in the middle.
