On the Diffusion of the Blank and Blankness http://www.alansondheim.org/cl1.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/cl2.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/heli.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/cl3.jpg This is the closeness of your other writing this revelation: that blankness is among gamespace, edgepace, the ledge, the abject, the archival impulse, the elsewhere, the elsewhen, that it is neither slate nor fluid, that in other words 'there is no there there' or the speaking voice, or a language, phonemes, marks, traces, gloss. arms gather space within and without, space surrounds arms, organisms, space ruptures and breaks, the mythology of the blank might do here in its (space and blank and rupture) disappearance. This is the distance of your new Clar the blank screen is anywhere, beyond or as relay elsewhere than the surface fabrication of detail. the screen always designates an edgespace which is within and without, giving us, always, a sense of unease; think of it as shimmer or stutter, the entangled conjuring of the abject or tawdry - and so a sense or senselessness of abandonment, as if there were an other/wise beyond/ one/'s habitus. abandonment is a falling out, falling forward, the l/edge of the building, the descent where nothing occurs. the blank, ab nihilo, corruption of gamespace, production of edgespace, yes, all the way down. is not pessimism absolute? again a relay or detraction occurs as if momentary. the blank screen on the wall remains, succumbs, proffers itself. we are there for it, among it. one must write in plurality to occur. one begs for the past, because it encapsulates, carapace, hovers, b{l}anked capital, lodged, at one point articulated: i don't remember, but i recall this about it nonetheless. the blank is always our past, coming toward us, always our future, leaving us behind. so that internally, as heated organisms, one might speak of the _inferno of gamespace_ and the _blink of an I_ and from there, onto the ledge. i want to add something about pessimism and truth, but pessimism or optimism or other states are neither farther nor closer from that diacritical mark (which seems a safe habitus, but as we know from mathematics, it is not) - truth has nothing to do with it; the blank is a blank slate that absorbs inscription and its denouement, ignores inscription and the archival impulse; perhaps an evanescent model would be neutrino entanglements or virtual particles, and what might be called a _non-memory of non_ in the mood or mod of the subjunctive, in a mood. one returns for the allotment the shame lies in this, that we behave and believe otherwise, which is also the shame and the hope, the closed shameful eyes wide open, the debris roiling, coagulating, into the semblance of (momentary) orga(ni)sm, that the organic is always an as-if, and that blankness has no more presence than the virtual, the blankness of the blank for example, a regression meaning nothing but collapse. so the return to the immensity of differentiation of the real and its obdurate. so that given the organ or human project/ion - nothing remains but the ion, already unstable, faltering; it's this pretense, circumlocuted and circumambulated by the curtain of death of consciousness, that permits us to occur, be, in the first place, always the misrecognition of the real. or the parabolic whose boundary itself is fuzzy, roiled, coagulated, virtual, dividing the uneasy plane without the benefit of finite closure, as if the gamespace edgespace elsewhere elsewhen blank were something to be _swallowed_ and here the swallowtail catastrophe comes to mind - { adding: that it is always a fear that such poesis is taken as a poetics of the world, a more or less scattered or useless description, instead of: the deep harboring of poesis as an accurate response to a blank which inheres, adheres, within and without our presencing, circumscription (if to circumscribe were _parabolic_ without the steadied and finite circumferance). } Sun Mar 27 14:07:56 EDT 2016 http://www.alansondheim.org/clar7.png document http://www.alansondheim.org/clar6.png " http://www.alansondheim.org/clar5.png " http://www.alansondheim.org/clar4.png " http://www.alansondheim.org/clar3.png " http://www.alansondheim.org/clar2.png " http://www.alansondheim.org/clar1.png " eof _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
