art rant =
3am, a bleak industrial urban neighborhood. a human, blasted beyond sensibility,
staggering randomly through a dim intersection, leaking can of paint under the arm,
trailing seemingly random glyphs onto the pavement. you stand in a cold dark room one
story above the tops of streetlights ...watching. dawn comes. you see this: the intersec-
tion becomes thick with traffic ...all who travel over the symbol seeing or not become
enlightened superbeings > art > art burdened with sensibilities and reason seeks power
at the planck limit of perception / representation. physics, cosmologicartoons, wm. blake,
zen archery, scifi. matter and energy: dark and exotic. brains seek the branes. why do
we understand the draughtsman's 2d perspective as code for 3d objects? space minus
the occupation of objects = dimension = vast vivid goofy places where intellect constantly
cycles with its opposite. may not be suitable for those who have never been exalted.
does it penetrate those who pass?
