reading the blanks http://www.alansondheim.org/extracts2.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/extracts1.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/extracts.mp4 desperately reading the blanks, looking for radar clues, how something might manifest itself in the noise. so filtering the blank, extrapolating, processing, as if the outlines of a figure or text might appear. I think of a looming at a distance, trudging towards my position as subject, symbolic, in the midst of an imaginary proximity, as if the chaos of breath were subtended into the remnants of an articulated fixture. in a sense, this is of the hypnagogic disappearing at the commencement of sleep, dreaming the absence of dreaming. the trace is left behind, the trace of what there is, in the sense of early cloud chambers or the LHC. one can construct an entire ontology through the epistemology of traces and filters; one might as well concede that the world is such, that traces replace the sign which is, after all, a coagulation, and that filters are what makes manifest.
