Subject: Two REQUESTS:
Date: Sun, 6 Mar 2011 02:42:43 -0500 (EST)
Two REQUESTS: 1. Please download EVERYTHING from http://www.alansondheim.org/ and http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/ Who knows how long these sites will be up? A dying star, war-time em-burst, nuclear terrorism, very little: and THE WORK disappears. Such work as remains virtual debris or residue: it has NO OTHER existence than what you can give it, yourself, among your storage machines, your data-bases, your memories CONCRETE. 2. Please enact EVERYTHING visible or audible, everything legible, within the hardness of MARBLE or GRANITE, guarantee them at the least, a modicum of existence beyond my lifespan (as my health again turns HARSH). It is my DREAM to have this work, these avatars, TRANSFORMED into CONCRETE EXISTENCE, forms of STATUARY, proclaiming, that these were POTENTIALS at a certain stage of our existence, these were THINGS in the worlds of imaginations. DOWNLOAD and SAVE, DOWNLOAD and HARDEN, RE-PRODUCE: so much to ask, so great and small the results. SAVE ME!
