the aesthetics of pain http://www.alansondheim.org/battleship.mp4 http://www.alansondheim.org/battle.mp4 what occurs on flatness never curls inward towards the body: that is unless a fundamental identification is at work. nothing of the sort in futurism which is responsible for the clean and proper body of the Mac and Apple, the sliver that cuts through flesh, everything acceptable, horror against against horror in false topologies, topographies of destroyed villages, torn flesh, mutilated faces. it is all one and it is all one and the same: too many deaths, and too many deaths. just to make it clear: these aren't _notes,_ this is _labor_ purposed for slowing or scraping the flesh trying to think, what? about the damage we cause in the world, about the damage the world is caused.
