Aside from outer influences, the internal forces driving my getting naked in front of the lens are:

1. I want to be fancied, however superficial that fancy may be.
2. I want to use my sexuality to my advantage.
3. I want to demystify the body. I want to change its politics.
4. I want to change how we communicate, change language itself.
5. I want to. Simply. I don’t care how controversial that is. I don’t find it a big deal. There are innumerable acts of unjust in the world and if my displaying “the privates” of my body is enough to rouse an interpersonal riot, then I am deeply disappointed with how easy this world is in terms of jarring it. How drab. How boring.

I want to pursue an intuition about the baroque as a mode of American poetry—a mode of early modernity particularly well adapted to a postmodern era which has seen an acceleration of the modern tendency to break down experience into fragments. It is peculiarly well-suited to a poetics of resistance—not in a nostalgic re-creation of some lost lifeworld, but through a radical materialism that paradoxically creates a new aperture for subjective, even spiritual, experience.

For philosophers, such basic questions are cerebral exercises; for children, madmen and poets they are undetermined and flesh-real: Are my parents actually evil monsters? Is it all a conspiracy? Is someone hiding under my bed? Are they all dead? Am I dead? Do we embody mythological forces and play out some grand drama we don't understand? Was it I who killed my friend? Is it I who am the monster?

Modern nihilism operates on a specific dimension of temporality: the absolute way to accumulate is to promote a constant renewal, a repetition that preserves only those parts of the past that serve the transient needs of the market, while simultaneously conceiving that past as a causal sequence of events mechanically leading up to an oblivious present. Historicizing a lifeless past goes hand-in-hand with prolonging the present into the future. Contemporary art, the trans-conceptual and trans-historic artistic idiom of our time, thus manages the replication and variation of an immediate past, preserving only the ruins of modernism. Historicizing then becomes the mirror image of an atemporal historical condition.

Umberto Eco in 1967 called the creative producer, to consider ‘openness’ as a “positive aspect of his production, recasting the work so as to expose the maximum possible opening” (2006: 178). According to Eco, the creator should positively articulate the ontological condition of openness that resides anyway in any cultural artefact instead of trying to suppress it. This openness refers to the multiplicity of interpretations that arise out of the differentiated meaning-making capacities of the audiences, as “every reception of a work of art is both an interpretation and performance of it, because in every reception the work takes on a fresh perspective for itself” (Eco, 2006 :180).

"Portrait of a Ghost Drummer is a multidisciplinary project that explores graphic qualities in process of playing on a drum kit. Besides being a musician, drummer when playing is unconsciously engaged in an elaborate choreography. The drum sticks are the extensions of drummer's hands like a brush is an extension of the painter's hand. Motion-captured movements become a visual map over a time revealing fragile rhythm structures and invisible notations behind energetic instrumental solo. 'Portrait of a Ghost Drummer' expands the understanding of drummers activity from purely auditory experience to spontaneous visual performance."

Art uses things to make its presence felt. But art is not itself a thing.

If art is, in truth, art, it feels as if it is too concrete to be mere appearance, but not concrete enough to exist as mere reality. In other words, art is more and less than a thing. And it is this simultaneous expression of more-ness and less-ness that makes what is made art.

The Weird, then, is starkly opposed to the hauntological. Hauntology, a category positing, presuming, implying a ‘time out of joint’,(21) a present stained with traces of the ghostly, the dead-but-unquiet, estranges reality in an almost precisely opposite fashion to the Weird: with a radicalised uncanny – ‘something which is secretly familiar, which has undergone repression and then returned from it’(22) – rather than a hallucinatory/nihilist novum.

There is a pre-history to Rimbaud's,
"I is another." (Letter to the Seer),
Which renders it elusive in its authorship,
And therefore still more authoritative.
In 1854, Nerval inscribes a photo of himself,
"I am the other." In 1870, six months
Before Rimbaud's world-reversing letter,
The Comte de Lautreamont writes,
"If I exist, I am not another . . ."
(He then starved to death
At the age of 24,
Shifting our emphasis to "If.")

Largest piece of glass in the room, other than the southern, knife as the letter fluttered off the table behind him.

5.0 The idea of “art” has a basic and general human sense, on which no specific profession or class has a monopoly

5.1 “Art,” conceived of as creative expression in general, can be seen as representing a function as basic as exercise or dialogue, and a need only slightly less fundamental than eating or sex (“slightly less fundamental” because the question of creative expression comes after simple survival—you must first secure food before you can think of cuisine)

5.2 Conceived of in this way, every human activity has an artistic component, an aspect under which it can be viewed as “creative”

Today, we do not identify an artwork primarily as an object produced by the manual work of an individual artist in such a way that the traces of this work remain visible or, at least, identifiable in the body of the artwork itself. During the nineteenth century, painting and sculpture were seen as extensions of the artist’s body, as evoking the presence of this body even following the artist’s death. In this sense, artist’s work was not regarded as “alienated” work—in contrast to the alienated, industrial labor that does not presuppose any traceable connection between the producer’s body and the industrial product. Since at least Duchamp and his use of the readymade, this situation has changed drastically. And the main change lies not so much in the presentation of industrially produced objects as artworks, as in a new possibility that opened for the artist, to not only produce artworks in an alienated, quasi-industrial manner, but also to allow these artworks to maintain an appearance of being industrially produced.

The success, even the survival, of the arts has come increasingly to depend on their ability to defeat theatre.

...

Art degenerates as it approaches the condition of theatre.

...

The concepts of quality and value-and to the extent that these are central to art, the concept of art itself-are meaningful, or wholly meaningful, only within the individual arts. What lies between the arts is theatre.

Art is a history of doing nothing and a long tale of useful action. It is always a fetishization of decision and indecision—with each mark, structure, and engagement. What is the good of this work? The question contains a challenge to contemporary practitioners—or “current artists,” a term I will use, as contemporary art no longer accounts for what is being made—that is connected more to what we have all become than to what we might propose, represent, or fail to achieve. The challenge is the supposition that artists today—whether they like it or not—have fallen into a trap that is pre-determined by their existence within a regime that is centered on a rampant capitalization of the mind.

Ravine; a necropastoral (nick demske poem)

*

The men kidnap me and put me in the refrigerator. It is very cold and dark and I'm not strong enough to push the door open. I think the problem is air pressure. Outside, there is too much air pressure and inside I am slowly removing air pressure. I think, 'There are many molecules of air around me right now.' I think, 'I need more air molecules.' I am greedy for air molecules. I want them in my lungs.

For Deleuze, as for Kubrick (and many others), what makes the cinema different from other art forms is the cut, the edit. In _Cinema 2: The Time-Image_, Deleuze argues that what makes the time-image different from the earlier movement-image is the 'irrational cut'. [8] By this he means that whereas in classical cinema the sound-image and the visual-image are linked or folded over each other, in modern cinema the disjunct between the two is highlighted.

A math equation I used to know was this terrible weight of the body plus the infinite weight of the rock of the earth is forests full of white wine. This textbook in my head I swallowed whole like a snake, causing nightmares, dizziness, euphoria, namelessness, running away from home on my birthday, eventual panic, locking all of the doors, unlocking all of the doors, mouthfuls of garbage, head and stomach pain, throwing up for no real reason, a sandwich my mother made in a brown bag, eventually forgetting my birthday, a ghost, a wet mattress.

When Oprah put her skinny, tall poet models in ugly, repressive clothes they did not own from Dress Barn, with letters floating around them but not touching them, she forgot that fashion is really about being naked.

It is a brave thing to face the world as absolutely modern. Eventually, it has to culminate in the obliteration even of the self that is observing the world of infinite simultaneity, since that self must be nothing more or less than another thing among things.

I was in the car when the autism came on again, and I tilted my head to drain it out. My sister was driving and asked how it felt. I said it was like hands invading a piano, tuning it. She asked about the car in the lane next to us, but she did not want to know the truth.

Consider the sack of oranges unsacking themselves and walking around like little round persons investigating the world along with the elaborate growls of its inhabitants. Chak felt Breop's buttery arms around her and smilingly returned her squeezing of her while Ftyd growled in his sleep at the elaborate plot to find the impressionable ants eating oranges and eventually hibernating in them as round sunly houses lumped sackly together.

The first night she slept with the egg under her pillow, hugging. She woke with the huge toy in her mouth. Her chest felt funny and she could not remember sleeping. She later found the garage filled with an inch of liquid. The liquid stunk and had to be scraped out. The mother watched the father on his knees for hours scowling with the trowel.

He kissed her, plundering first her mouth, then her ear and the hollow of her throat
He ravaged her mouth with heady thrusts of his tongue, and when that no longer satisfied him, he swept his hands down her neck to shove her gown free of her shoulders so he could strafe her bared flesh with urgent, openmouthed caresses

Discourses surrounding Snuff fiction are foremost concerned with the issue of authenticity, even though there is no known real Snuff film on which to base the tropes expected of these simulations. Clearly, these assumptions have been founded on discourses of cinema vérité, documentary realism and so forth. The methodologies of mediating and constructing portrayals of reality have become increasingly familiar to a mass audience since the mid-1990s due to the rise in what Eric Cazdyn refers to as "reality culture" (Cazdyn, 2002), where reality TV, surveillance footage, amateur porn, and home movies distributed via YouTube have become staples of popular visual entertainment. Faced with the ubiquity of reality in visual media, the pseudo-Snuff film has its work cut out in trying to appear "real."
