2008 THE ONEIRIC ETHER

Quantum mechanics and psychanalysis along with developments in prosthetics and robotics that have natural appeal to technophilic, I find increasing porosity in borders separating individuals from one another. I look to the explosion of new technology for stray evidence of other worlds, under the world wide shadow of extremist theology. Hard science is a pillar of the patriarchy survives (here citation of Foucault is still inevitable.) That Relativism associated with physics, uncertainty principle, beloved by early modernists. 20 years since the writing of Donna Haraways, “MANIFESTO FOR CYBORGS” at once outlandish and real. Neologism-laden idiom, alexical shift. Tangible, hoary figures as Nietzsche, Freud, Lacan, Deruda, Deleuze and theoretician Bernard Andrieu, the dark side of creation. The frightening principle of life in the body. One reason for the birth of modern medicine during the 16th century was advances in anatomical understanding. Dissections of cadavers were conducted as aristocratic entertainments of a “philosophical” nature, while the rabble were treated to the ruder entertainment of heretic burnings and even squirmier executions. “Gothic”--an hysterical facination with aporias of life and language, veering across the line from the grislest nightmares into humor. Ethics are aethetics of the future.

The snapshot helped to heighten family emotions at a time when the family structure was steadily losing it’s earlier economic and even political significance. A.D. COLMAN the most important photography is most empatically not art. I live my life which is my art by another name.

505. VITUPERATION
A noun for opprobrium, disapprobation or vilification.
You’ll find the truth is where you never see... The window as a visual barrier, eliminated form as size. Why not imagine the world as a patchwork quilt of exotic cults. Some seeking Eden, others clinging to hope of Heaven. Pagan doctrines save our lives, tct, courtesy,civility and tolerance are neither statutory mandates nor Christian virtues. A common code of cordiality, avuncular mentors to decode the world. We recognized every cigarette lighter, table fork, tie clip and fountain pen as a weapon that could be used for us or against us.

506. THE CARTESIAN DIVIDE


dyptic 1. 38 x 55 3/4” 2. 41x 46”


The imagined subject, painting about the ceiling of St Sofia’s in Istanbul and the floor. Sympathetic attraction in the suspicion of technology and its effects on the material world. Ambiguation of both the definition and the boundaries we assume. How the part is carried with us in the present. Contemporary polemics, messages to the present. Formulaic speaks to sensibilities unbound by contexts.
