Art as a weapon, as inoculations to fight off the digital disease and decay of present day ---------- as the digital veil blankets us like an airborne virus ------------- we are all becoming pixilated ---------- broken down into pixals and sound files/ virtual relationships -------------- Digital Madness! Art used as a vaccine against this digital virus / imagination for the sake of our souls ------------------- last strands of humanity clinging ----------------------- humanity snuffed out -------------------------- Progress? For what? For whom?
Maybe all we were all along was a digital signal, a transmission, a flash of light in the darkness ------------------- maybe, we’re just going home to our reception. Burroughs sees it as the enemy plan to reduce all human life to “simple binary coding,” to condense and assimilate the entire planet: “The cyclotron processes image ---------- It’s the microfilm principle------smaller and smaller, more and more images in less space pounded down under the cyclotron to crystal image meal.” Language is both the poison and the cure.
