a new push on an object grouping that continued almost indefinitely
into a sky that was hardly drawn, that flowed from the memory of drawing. it took so long to return to earth, i.e. to level 0 of the virtual world. here we are extending into a problematic of the push. falter, yes, failure, yes, fall, yes, flight, yes, but the originary moment of the push, that decision to extend uselessly. for there is nothing above and what is below is at an inconceivable distance. which means a large difference between, say, 4000 and 5 in terms of what appears as verticality. there is a particular _speed_ involved, the speed of flight and, perhaps later the speed of falling. the speed neither increases nor decreases; the speed is a constant, as are the piped-in sounds of the wind. of course all of this is nothing more than a _calculation,_ as I have repeatedly stressed. but these particular pushes carry a resonance all their own - the loneli- ness of the isolated universe or wheel, the inability to garner community as someone somewhere moves a mouse, operates a keyboard, wears whatever gear she might find necessary, and then he is there, preposterous, nowhere at all, but with the implication of _above._ and continued almost indefinitely? or with the boundary conditions set somewhere before _now,_ perhaps the length of a number of hours: she sleeps. http://www.alansondheim.org/push1.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/push2.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/push3.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/push4.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/push5.jpg | Alan Sondheim Mail archive: http://sondheim.rupamsunyata.org/ | To access the Odyssey exhibition The Accidental Artist: | http://slurl.com/secondlife/Odyssey/48/12/22 | Webpage (directory) at http://www.alansondheim.org | [email protected], [email protected], tel US 718-813-3285 _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
