I wrote a bit about this myself. Give it a go if you’ve got 3 mins to spare.


Bits of that felt forced, and you’ve got some pretty big internal contradictions in there.
But you’ve got some bangers too. “: ideals do not fail only through betrayal or violence, but through neglect of the material world they must survive in.” Is an exact quote I will be stealing the fuck out of.
And don’t worry about having more feels about found art; analyzing deliberate art is bourgeoise simulacra-recursion-fetishism, only found images and field recordings made without conscious¹ intent are truly materialist and illustrative.
¹consciousness being essentially bourgeoise (watts, 2006)
And yet I remain unquoted in the taglines 😞
Yeah I wrote this on my phone in a hospital wait room after 6 days of no sleep at 3am. Barely proofread it.
I knew I was just vomiting words at a point. But just wanted to get the idea out of my head.
