After this I needed air.

The jumble begins to take advantage of screen resolution and frame/flicker
rate; objects revolve and generate lissajous/moire/illusory patterns as a
result of hatchings and cross-hatchings, read/write speed, cache speed,
and a host of other variables.Jumble changes from machine to machine,
resolution to resolution, and shading operators. Moving through the space,
turning video/sound on and off - the phenomenology changes in relation to
the dialectic established when an abacus was first used, at lightning
speed, bullae scattered everywhere. Every marker is always already virtu-
al, every marker is on the way towards disappearance, every annihilation
has the potential for memory, perhaps later, inscription. The jumble here
resolves, as every jumble does, on a micro-level; it is the non-aristotel-
ian that throws everything off, gesture which trips up where raster and
orthogonal configurations lie.
Jumble in physical reality = noisy, not chaotic. Jumble in Second Life =
equivalent to the order of perfection = the perfection of order.

another attempt obviating moire/lissajous. site passed Vegas a while ago:
site has no weight, thin slice; what the screen does, inertial mass, some-
thing else, carrier or parasite. it all disappears shortly after death. I
need someone creating hardware, stone, nonexistent inscriptive bulwark.
Julu cries out of Titus Andronicus, will be forgotten. words lose tongues
and hands, painlessly, but extrinsic, unable to testify. no testimony, no
annihilation; successful annihilation is no annihilation at all. memory
relies on death, diacritical-death, as if something were amiss. tongues
and hands are painful; Second Life, airless, disappears among them. Waking
this morning I realized this work is unbelievably flimsy, fragile, entire-
ly disappearing at the end of the residency - a radical disassembly that
hardly passes for erasure - given that nothing existed here in the first
place. This absence becomes an unreadable epitaph under erasure. These
words, too owe their existence to the imminence of electrical charges far
and beyond that of paper, stone, scissors, rock. So it goes and doesn't
return.
Plateaux and Welcome Matteing
The Accidental Artist has reached another 'plateau'; it's relatively
coherent, succinct - please visit when you have the chance.
Jumble materials on 3 levels: sea / ground / air. Fired throughout.
Images: articulation dots; Yamantaka; avatar construction plans; Poser
mannequins illuminated by contrary BioVision Hierarchy files; sexual
organs and grids. Audio: Azure Carter with the avatar dream song;
tamburitza, harmonica, guitar, organ segments (to be changed shortly).
