Hiyas, Things todo while waiting for the sun to be Nearly down.
A few pre noting notes: Hopefully something might be relevant here. Not entirely comprehending the context apart from - giving a talk.(??) Attempting to read the text from possibly how it seems to be written rather than how I'd like to write if it was me.. However, I did do that silly human thing of checking for a pattern, and staying with it. Perhaps it could be more riveting to read from and out such patterns..? I'd do in a personal text, not someone else's.. Which kind of takes us right into the pattern/thread that seems to Be..(?) The focus seems to be of examples to do with mashing edges and totalities of stuff. In a sense, without having the totality, the edges might be well hidden, and by focusing on such endings of things - they seem to require a perception oriented in absolutes. (An absolutive oriented programming..? ;) ) It seems to have a territorial oriented perception - of spaces, endings, and edges. These corners are being put together, brought together as a sort of collage(??). I think am trying to say that each action of bringing these edges together - perhaps a Surge in the Notes' own vocabulary - has a unique collection of these ends. Hence, it seems that each note can be an example - or Is an example(??) - of an edges surge. Here are a few examples: When speaking of life and death (in virtual worlds), it seems to take these as binary objects, oppose to one another - hence by putting them together, the edges become apparent. (this perception is based on language of "death and "life", rather than a softer focus such as a process of living, etc..) Dance/movement as a practice that brings together the virtual and the physical realities. Or the sense of them. Again there is a sense of edges coming together to form a new element/thing. Glitches - visuals(?? I assume here that we talk of visual ones, could be all sorts though..) that are made when an edge of code meets an edge of electronic/electric element/s. Language and its entangled limits. (i am not sure how this terminology operates. however, in my mind, this seems to be of a linked nature with the sense of digital/virtual - often used with a language for its program - and its intrinsically linked edge - ie. the materiality of a device/network line, body, etc..) The surge ofcourse is an absolute, and ISIS offers a new absolutativeness. In a sense, ISIS is a sort of an embodied surge, bringing together the ends of terroristic perception meshed with an abosolutist historical perception, and statist/nationalistic edges, coming from breaks and breaking the Sykes/Picot borders and colonial assumptions - all occurring at the edges of deserts which meet fertile lands. (Perhaps ISIS should be declared a Sondheim performance gone a bit glitchy..?) I could go on with examples, including the sense of elements going Wrong - ie breaking and by default new corners come together to form a malfunction sense? (again, wrongness might require a sense of totality..) Clutter as sense of things coming together, focusing on the perceptions that rise via the sort of new body that comes out..? In that sense, - new body that comes out - I thought that perhaps the terror algorithm was/is a bit illustrative..? Almost decorative as such? Just wonder how it might be if it was a terror oriented programming language.. Or even much more interesting, I think, a terror calculus - hence allowing new terror formations to be..? Also, talk of computer kind of languages.. Perl and language, and human language.. Perhaps there could be a perl for camels? A perl that perhaps is a camel? Or camel oriented? Might be a perl that's hardly thirsty? Or a perl that is for deserts? Hey.. Hope this somehow assists in something - or some process - been a pleasure to delve into! :) Many THANKS for sharing, Alan!
