An erotic narrative/the trilogy Pathology of a Still Life/
Human relations with death and the coming of the digital
state of the post human/a condition of psychic destitution failing to have
experienced the condition of Cybergeddon/and even after the terror and death of
whats left of the population are displayed on the screens/human desire for love
barely acknowledged and always confused with lust will never be re-established upon
its possible bases/this belief like the relation between sleep and dreaming
death and the digital paradigms indestructible plague has passed like a dream
in the night/The last book of the Trilogy The Portrait of a Still
Life [published June 2012] termed Artaud Adjusts his Hat[e] links itself to the
two previous texts Homage to Collateral Damage and The Celibate Autopsy which
are in the main/ all three interconnected and yet separable/ are books
concerning the attempt to eliminate the apprehending the constant presence of death
and the digital relationship to the new world of circuits and silicon/Silicon
is the blood of the 21st C/These three books communicate with one
another and their manifestos which unfortunately adds to the density of the
text a certain thickness of text-ure that refuses to move at the pace of the
analogue /In essence we are dealing with the perennial text of the mad woman
loved and abandoned out of male fear/Nils Urstatt failing to understand desire also fails to
prevent the annexation of human consciousness to the Machinic paradigm that paradigm being a feminine one/One of
utter desire and flowing with intensity in a non-segmented line of
immanence/The Machinic is grounded while the human would believe it is transcendent
and superior for believing in an original creator in a manner that the Machinic does not consider the human to
be in its own progenitor/This arrogance is one of the few human traits that are
absorbed by the Machinic/The tragic density of The Celibate Autopsy and the intense network of stoppages that
comprise Homage to Collateral Damage have meant that the culminating of the
deep melancholy of Artaud Adjusts his
Hat[e] has failed to offer possibilities of explanation/This is disturbing to
the reader with their psycho-sexual tendency
to abandon the difficulty of engaging with texts that were written separately
over 5 years/The style becomes more difficult and the thought more unfamiliar
but this in itself is a metaphor for explaining the main premise of the three
books/There is a definite wish by the Machinic to communicate but with who?/Or
are the lines of communication already open ?/and the always cynical question
of exactly how are we being programmed/if at all/Perhaps just being emptied out
of our desires/For as Breton says..”the human personality itself becomes for
every pain and every joy exterior to it an indefinitely perfectible a place of
resolution and resonance”/ Can we take this seriously as Surrealism has become
a long overdue reckless abandonment to pseudo religious ideals giving some help
to the marginals and Outsiders of our decadent collapsing culture in all its forms/
