1. There are boxes of cables and connections for radio wires and setting up the satellites movies look better with some, it's true, and I am setting up their screens to get them so close to true so they don't need to worry about distracting picture artifacts breaking illusions of crystalline perfection in reality in their living room.
Some TV's are so good now all the beautiful movie stars are hating them because you can see the make up on the televisions stars, and when they don't wear the make up, you can see the wrinkles and the acne and the humanness of them, and the fake wood
They have to bring in real wood now for David Letterman's Desk, because after 20 years and millions of viewers they had been only using a very convincing cardboard mock up of a real tree.
Bringing bits and pieces of reality in to make the illusions more convincing and more customizable and now we can Tivo the shows so we can "lead our lives at our own schedule" we have been slaves to the schedule for 58 or some odd years, and of course we haven't been, have we? Really?
I sell the wires to make it all possible I connect the illusions to your eyes so well they cannot tell the difference Component cable for HD in all their RGB glory, the pictures split between reds and greens and blues, and I like to plug them in wrong, sometimes and the whole world spins and stretches splits in half and folds over on itself
"That TV is so big and clear, I could almost dive in!" she said; and I think of Alice in Wonderland, and I think of Beaudrillard, and I think of simulations, endless spaces for filling up with duplicates, for filling up with safer versions of reality, with safer notions of reality, with safer dreams we can call reality, and if those dreams hurt us we can turn them off, or we can bring in elements of this reality slowly- today, the desk, tomorrow, our children! Televise it all, throw out all analogue, expose the limitations of "fidelity" and delete it all once we've seen it, to make room for more recordings.
