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.
