Invisible City http://www.alansondheim.org/toaster1.mp4 the Newtek Toaster was an analog/digital fx unit that was widely used 15 years ago. it's possible to recreate the fx in digital with some degree of accuracy. that's what's going on here. I write with a 'slight fever' brought on by who knows what. the result is Invisible City which reverts the real back into the layering of Second Life. the city dissolves, or rather the always already dissolved city is reeled back into the apparent. I insist this is the truth of the city, that everything else is fiction. my insistence is performative.
