Near the automated overpass was an electronic café,
before which a bench offered itself to my fatigue. This figure
may have been meant either to kill or to seduce. Piercing the image's heart
can be intended to pierce the victim's breast with discourses of passion.
(above) Arman - Traité du violon (Treatise on the Violin).
1964. Accumulation of destroyed violin parts with paint traces. 60x128".
Collection Philippe Durand-Ruel, Paris. 55. [June-August 1887] This perishing
takes the form of self-destruction - the instinctive symptoms: auto-vivisection,
poisoning-performance, intoxication, ironic romanticism; the location of
mirrored text will be mirrored relative to other textual-refractions within
a delimited parameter. 204. [Spring-Fall 1887; rev. Fall 1888] Let us think
this thought in its most extreme form, without meaning or aim, yet recurring
inevitably without any finale of nothingness: A DESCENDING IMPRESSION OF
QUIET MAGIC IN SCREEN VELOCITY SCREAMING ALONG ONE DANCING SPINE
OF VELVET WHIRLWIND EYES, THE LINGERING CONVULSION OF WORDS AND LACE DISAPPEARING
BEHIND A REMINDER OF RESONANT NEARNESS. I sat down softly without thinking
that any other decision was possible. [SLOW FADE OUT] Dawn was beginning
and I was present at the awakening of this decrepit suburb, like a corpse
languidly at the edge of the city's electric script. 33 full algorithmic
continuous bandwidths (true 20Hz-20kHz); built-in 24-bit signal path, 48-bit
internal data transmission; octagon parametric EQ for programmable MIDI
emulation mapping; digital-analog compression, distortion, reverb, tremolo,
noise envelope plane. Can we remove the idea from the process and then affirm
the process in spite of this? - the rue de Medicis along which we were strolling
at a lengthy pace is devastatingly sad around ten-thirty at night. It is
the street of everlasting rain. Add an ulterior complication: Foucault's
transgression, besides (which I must still believe to be the lethal side
of this), had left on that body an imprint (600 dpi resolution, RISC processor,
64 Truetype) of spectacular deformity and decay. The system is extremely
detailed, but the oldest and most important part of it is the set of links
or correspondances between phrases, iron antiques,
and digitally saturated colours. In summa: The higher the value (SOLAREAU),
the more accurate the mesh and the more accurate the dispersal of the Autocad
entity in question. The will to disintegration as the will of a still deeper
event - smiled so curiously I could not keep my eyes from a pallid face,
and it may be that in spite of myself I answered that smile as one would
a dancing smoke-filled mirror.
