Subject: i've fallen victim to officialese.

i've fallen victim to officialese. i believe strongly that because there are substructures to my work, that it far and away deeper than yours. i believe that the codes and protocols that accompany my pieces make them stronger than yours in every way. i believe that the escape within the officialese, codes, and protocols in my work is based on their presence which gains them immeasurable strength. in order i believe that human choice all the way around is weak, that a degree of machinic intervention is absolutely necessary for the production of meaning today. i have been seduced by this belief, for which i offer few apologies, it is the machine within me that holds back. almost as a young girl on her first date. _
