no, Thing – nothing (i know you hate that mystic shit)
How do we unmute political voice on alternate semiotic strata?
In these new experiments across sculpture, video, and text, we explore how computational mediums like databases, surveillance networks, and various other forms of energetic transfer work with traditions of the mystical, how current technological forms use the structure of communication in nefarious practices of affect management, false flag operations, and thinly veiled strategies for social control, and what is the potential of the uncanny, the taboo and the paradoxical as strategies for escape, mutiny, and the agentive persistence of life against the encroachment of algorithmic capitalism and entropic death.
