DEATH OF META https://youtu.be/tpUZ5vf4Hb4 video http://www.alansondheim.org/DeathofMeta.jpg META: GENERAL PROSPECTUS, Alan Sondheim, for the Meta META: META: Corporation I began in 1972, dealing with art as META: research. I watch and enter LocalSim through Imprudence recording with Snagit, editing in Premiere and Audition. I am in an antiquated world promising everything from the past into the future. I am inviolate, inordinately fragile, moving around the broken plateau and broken objects I created. Don't worry about the blurred text, what's important is the seething, the clicks, the voice losing grips with it all. All Meta META dies; all Meta META promises new beginnings which collapse in their hubris and misplaced audacity. On the street people are dying. Across borders people are dying. Too many people dying of starvation, of war, of violence, of racist hatred. There is no Meta no META, comprehension only of incomprehension. This video is a meditation on such, a meditation on breaking, on the broken, whose premise is that the way out of Meta META is the only way out of here, in the grit of the world, in the teeth and maw of every one of us. I make this video, The Death of META, for you, my Meta corporation long since defunct and perhaps not even properly registered in the State of Rhode Island in 1971-1972. Whatever you do, do better than I did, do it was grace and recognition of the darkness that surrounds us. ... the Meta Corporation work I did; it never went through. folded 'poster' of taped announcements etc., Alan Sondheim, music and Meta (sitting on top of folders) AS, The Analysis of Situation, Providence, RI: Meta Press, 1972 Head, Meta Corporation for Art Research, 1971-2 Amelia META: GENERAL PROSPECTUS, Alan Sondheim, for the Meta proposal stemmed out of the Meta Corporation work I did; it music and Meta (sitting on top of folders) Hierarchical Structuring.
