Dust settles. It sloughs from the real, fills the cracks, cauterizes history, sinters culture. It travels. It moves substance across meridians.. Dust is atmospheric, existing in alliance with the air. Radiation travels through dust, is dispersed by the same. Radiation carries obstacle and inherent information. Extrinsic, it bounces from surface to surface, defines surface, contributes to the formation of entity and identity. Intrinsic, it run in spurts, amplitudes, wavelengths, shuttling information that defines its very existence. Its presence is intrinsic, say, and the quality of its presence is extrinsic. Nothing is pure in the radiative domain, everything interweaves, and metaphors go only so far. Radiation, like dust, traverses; it doesn't require the atmospheric ether. If dust silently corrupts the surface, wears and is the result of wearing down, radiation floods, spews, emits; it breathes the virtual vacuums of outer space. Information is the result of division; it's here that something exists, and it's here that my voice is carried to you, and it's here that image image image. Desire rides, interweaves, interpenetrates, but desire is an other. Postmodernity is the topography and psychogeography of dusts and radiations - extinctions, pollutions, desertifications, abandonments, colonias, internet, telephony, radio, television, microwave. Dusts are bottom up; they're beneath the surface, under things. Radiations are top-down, ignoring boundaries: what is being said, produced, constructed, wherever you are. Dust erodes electronics; electronics must be placed in physical potential wells to continue operating - islands of stability in the midst of flux, heat, moisture, vandalism. I desire a phenomenology of dust and radiation, interspersed with global economies, the ravagings of human occupations. I desire the analysis of uncanny or imaginary ghosts wandering these denuded landscapes, with all the information anyone might desire, on any planet, anything, overwhelming and absurdist information, the truth of the real buried in defuge. I desire the interlace through all of this, the emergence of a pure and beautiful text like that very ravaged body. Dust leaves trails; radiation decays in quantum noise; we bury ourselves in the fiction of truthful nomenclature. The Configuration The relations now become clear. The operations described elsewhere are coupled as follows: core-theory ------ radiation | \ / | | \ / | | \ / | | / \ | | / \ | | / \ | finance----------------dusts Core-theory is both intrinsic and extrinsic in its couplings; finance is pervasive, agent of dissolution, worn and wearing down. Finance cancels time and history, fissures populations; core-theory inscribes populations and time. As dust dissipates the effects of radiation, finance cauterizes the investigation of core-theory (Brillouin) which is coupled with energy. As core-theory dusts and dissolves the entities of the world (Jeans and Hiroshima), finance introjects and projects radiation. Radiation transforms into media under the guise of capital; dust transforms into a recuperated time under the guise of the scanning electron microscope. Dust and finance embrace chaos and self-similarity; radiation and core-theory reproduce the leniency of bandwidth. The chiasm is the positioning of the abstracted alienation of the subject who appears within other masquerades; this is the construct of the postmodern. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
