Elegy For Soccer http://www.alansondheim.org/played1.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/played.mp4 (please use earphones) http://www.alansondheim.org/played2.jpg I watch too much soccer, Bolivia beaten by Brazil in America. I finally understand football (soccer) offsides. Went with Azure soaksuck soblung socalb socalespeak soccer soccervlf sochipdf hurt lot slide hugething virgin kitty??? hooter "soccer mommy" mini-van soccer dreaming always girlfriend!headed Not always, but almost always, avatars are smaller than one's physical body, or appear so. And one's viewpoint is not always, but almost always, above and behind the avatar, slightly raised - as if one's watching a soccer game, which for a spectator can be senseless from a ground-based camera. I think this kind of miniaturization tends towards a maternal reading of the world, a reading within which the image on the screen forms a safe matrix; after all, the computer goes on and off, games and software are replaced or updated, and both the world and you go on. So here's this safe world, and -jectivity or what one might call the '-jectivity-braid' - the braid of psychoanalytic renderings, readings and writings, introjections and projections, dreamings and hallucinatings, all before or within and without the screen - this braid is taken for granted; it's the safe-house of the world, transforming the world and the true world into a habitus. As a result of peering and miniaturization among other things. And the ability to chat and keep or erase chat. And the ability to fly or teletransport, playing into Freud's condensation/displacement in the dreamwork. Second Life is a pun in this regard - one place quickly substituted for another, and such substitutions revolutionary or disrupting as one landscape disappears, another appears - perhaps throwing everything off but just for a (very safe) moment. It's the safety in punning that makes them revolutionary, and the same safety occurs in relation and through the braid. So again, when Gaz takes a meta-position in relation to this relation, when Gaz appears apparently half-in and half-out of the gamespace, the disruptive becomes difficult to absorb, becomes something that doesn't happen in the real (except perhaps with sado-masochism and the use of safewords which break out of one theater into another). It's a contradiction which can't be absorbed. And to return to one's "own" avatar body after Gaz' distortion, one logs out of Second Life - in other words out of the fundamental world, what is being the fundamental world - into another world with its real dangers, etc. - the world of the inert or 'idiotic' real (Rosset). exterior scans at bretz coke ovens, persona rapid transit (in motion), soccer fields foofwa and soccer (edge phenomena, dancesport, etc.) soccer game, which for a spectator can be senseless from a ground-based soccer fields foofwa and soccer (edge phenomena, dancesport, etc.) soccer high that it disappears, just as soccer for example, as rule-laden as it lust.mud.programming soccer.news.crime lust.fan.courtneylove lust.panties.talk.haven lust.cybercafes lust.culture.www soccer.world soccer.world.mideast+africa land, so I will give an example of a soccer ball poised precisely my soccer boots, my own time, freedom, a girl i had a crush on in 1989, my subbuteo table soccer sets, my love for Arsenal FC, my creativity, my extended goal-shot, as in the long-shot of a soccer game, waiting for attachments.
