Those who call themselves artists
look at my work and define it as technology.

Those who define themselves as technicians and scientists
see me as a clumsy craftsman
crying out against the machines.

Circling the "virtual" communities
as a cursed pariah
with visions of vectors
and seeking the crossroads
where the entities are corporeal,
the some who are non-virtual,
traveling kilometers to find people
who are not only avatars, names, addresses
of the open computer network
that from an early age
I helped build
manipulated by games of war and peace
and a great leviathan of information.

Hatching within the physical contours
of an identity without a homeland
the grammatical rules of a language remade
inside the fragile global lexicon of cultural references,
instantaneous and not yet cataloged
in the history of the human condition.

Justifying a translation of protocols
semi-algebraic,
observing these cards as
mothering but not maternal,
Believers only in the skeleton of the tactile
for those who ignore my world
it is a ghost pulling them by the foot,
a post-industrial monster
embodied in these red objects of death
capturing the intra-available bodies
of the light-speed barrier.

Your virus laboratory
it is merely an excuse
for not knowing our innards.

Dissecting && loving: () (:|:&);:

The calculation of the abyss
yields all possibilities of the synaptic
relax your emotions.

The weather reveals your rain dance.
The banal and glorious rhyme
lost in a check-mate already overcome
in a deep blue and carmine red, for us,
software and hardware embodied,
as one accepted you: Interfaces.


[a sort of 21st Century Song of Myself; beautiful]
