Steal This Title
Berlin
Nene; three days hitching of a five day trip recording sounds of pedestrian beeping no apparently this is where we all should go to swim with all the artists drinking cheap beer hanging out around on the street chatting all around the world.
Niece; one day trip from coast with a brief stopover in Hamburg to exchange cars pre-organised without sharing language. Just what a girl travelling alone can influence on the suspicions of the local buying into the fear of common hearsay.
authority
Judgement backed with violence. The threat of being removed from earth.
The power in authority has weight so long as the threat of violence is continually back up its claim, otherwise the monkey must be domesticated and the laziness of comfort, the coma of death, already in situ. A promise of immortality in death.
Take the hard line, the unswerving position that cannot be defeated in argument, logically sound, and back it up by sheer force. Unconnected brutality.
academia
Everyone is feeding you code/bollocks. If you spend the time decoding, re-arranging, simplifying, translating and sorting, then, be my guest, the people will adore you for it.
How long will the students drawl over the spills of ink on the scraps of waylaid insurance brokers' entrance and exit clauses of an ephemeral world?
Weak kneed academics want to "close in on, visualise and consider multiple circuits that centralise a claim".
armour
A little hardening of protein on the fingertips and toes.
Museum of Dream, Gregory Godhard, 2003
architecture
They were never going to build the city spaces to house the thinkers to mill around and mull over other possible ways of divvying up this existential caper.
Shanty this and shabby that, everyone wants to change their surroundings. There is nothing like a healthy prune and a little encouragement to get life doing its thing.
The politics of spce.
The constructions out there are brutal works in progress, customised for the job, in troubleshooting mode, under adaptation and modification. There is no space for a heavy pack of rods and beams of steel. Not even the lighweight tent features as an essential. The ends whereby only the means to construct are carried. Industrialisation has populated the planet with the ready-made. Rebuild the atom, the individual, into a lego playground (deconstruct physics).
At first the spaces are wide and unused, inviting intricate networks, but now the codes come rushing back and the forces are everywhere.
australia
The Australians love days at the end of ticked lists; shit gets done this way. *(ref no. 1572)
The alley is alive with sexual frenzy. The life is a lazy one styled in a beach sunset humid wet clammy repetition. Everyone is creating their own fiction.
Get them doing it from an early age. The competition, the sport, the spectating, the participatory glances, the hands down pants on asses. Escapism is rife.
Post-apocalyptic triptych port-side sunny-side happy-go-lucky holding hands city of casino loving slow down untouchable cruise ship rock-stars on holiday. An expanse on the other side of the planet.
art
If you are standing out the furthest with your head bobbing in and out of water you might be the first to feel its effervescence washing over your head.
White man sells didgeridoo for three hundred AUD.
The human figure opposes art.
The artist is the one that is unconditional regarding the life that is to be lived. The artist creates out of that tension with the world that wants on to be otherwise.
Aesthetic is a junky paranoia. Utility is a sign of a tradesman. Quality of the craftsman.
Those to whom an artist talks have not arrived where the artist has. The artist has not arrived at their work. Those who have the artist will not talk to. The silence is barren.
autoHAGiographical.
alcohol
Alcohol poisoned his brain, did him real good. Now an unintelligible red flavoured jelly cunt. Peel back the layers of sunburnt gelatin wafers and peer into the gaping wound which consumes his world. His breath is caught in moustache tufts.
The Lost Thing, Shaun Tan, 2010
architecture
The house is an organism/organ.
arrangement
Leaves coming down each in their own manner of dieing, becoming consumes, broken down, reconstituted, remodelled and fed back through sausage divination.
An arrangement becomes a thing when it is put to use by perceptive consciousness.
appropriation
People send out symbols of aggression no different to the animals.
Go read it for yourself, but this here is the spin, the suefulness. Read it, attack it, measure it, cut it down with a hack saw. File me to the bone. Find me already there gnawing on the figment of marrow. Sucking on the source I an origin of blood ...
altruism
Doing something for someone else.
Got Me A Beard, Tom Bettany, Michael Bidstrup, Joshua Fielder, Joel McMillan and Chris Edser, 2012
anxiety
A build up of nervousness, the financial pressure apparent inside welfare institution. One hears the money dripping from people.
Agamben
The individual, with all its tenacity, succumbs to the value in persistence and develops the legal contract and thereby creates the rule of exception.
autonomy
Individual autonomy is smothered by a community that is forming in the secret freedom reservoirs emerging from objects of slander.

new spaces, different arrangements, different machine ß hoorah. a living bedroom, a self righteous intruder.
That was a bad book.
Write a better one.
Not fair is it Seb?
I am writing a letter to Craig. Would you like to say something?

Oh these fingers break and stumble. snap.
snicker. snicker.
Come on Seb quick help.
No need to bother me.
Everyone has a goat writer director producer. The who what where when is all up for grabs.
They are fun reads but I get nothing out of it. I am not saying anything about you, definitely a strong sense of narrative over there.
