Fragments
More of a radical manifesto.
Points are in fragments because the new grammar of our world is in fragments. (Mainly because I don’t really understand the logic/He didn’t even bother to explain.)
1. Anxiety is the result of dealing with today’s problems using yesterday’s tools & concepts.
To hell with the old system.
2. Media — extensions of human faculty.
3. “Global [Village]” suggests we are traveling back to a primitive age before literary norms happened, to an environment deconstructing itself every minute.
A new replacement of grammar is needed.
4. World of ALLATONCENESS.
Where time and space are dissolved.
5. Whoever sharpens our perception must be antisocial. Radical.
Professionalism: environmental; Amateurism: anti-environmental. (Long live the contemporary art!)
6. The omnipotent ear.
“We can’t shut out sound automatically. We simply are not equipped with earlids.”
7. “Now we have to adjust, not to invent.”
Lamarck would be so pleased to hear that.
8. “In television, images are projected at you. You are the screen. The images wrap around you. You are the vanishing point. This creates a sort of inwardness, a sort of reverse perspective.”
The man-machine.
9. “Propaganda ends where dialogue begins.”
