Blank Scroll w/ Commentary http://www.alansondheim.org/fbblank.mp4 The Scroll http://www.alansondheim.org/fbblank.jpg The Blank Page Increasingly scrolling Facebook produces blank images. Excuse me, I mean Meta. What remains of course, in line with the new variety, afterimages. Emptied space with commentary. As if God themselves were silencing the Image in their Name. Think about this. So I created the Scroll, with enormous labor, the Truth of Prophecy, with Commentary. Think of Deuteronomy received more Likes than Apocalypse, emoji for Armageddon? The scroll -> Scroll -> scroll -> scrolling. Not to read, not to study, absorb, the scroll, but to _scroll_ it. To scroll a Scroll is to _motivate_ the scroll, operate the _mechanism_ of the scroll. As if it were always the case. To scroll the Scroll: to empty it. To parse the letters in the process of leaving the page; falling off the page; raising themselves on high; letters of Fire; Letters of Fire; Letters of Spirit; letters of dissolution. Of a Mechanics, mechanical mechanism. Of a Mechanism. Not to read but in the process of winding, unwinding. To unscroll. To wind. To Wind Up. Again and again, to scroll, unscroll, wind up, wind down. Ruach: does the wind wind? ( Every name is holy. No name is holy. Every proper Name tendrils. Are tendrils inert, obdurate, Rosset's "idiotic real"? Does a question mark imply a slightly raised tone of voice? Does the scroll imply such a reading? Does a Scroll demand it? Command it? The question is based on _the erasure of the name_: what occurs when Facebook goes blank, transforms into empty space (complete with short description) or replete with signifiers of exhaustion and misbehavior. Oh what do we do, what do we do? When do we leave? What our the signs of our leaving? Of our final leaving? Of our absence? Of our final absence? ) __ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
