Things as they are, 2000-2016

In times when our emotions and behavior don’t belong us because they are a market value, in times when social energy is harvested as if it were some transgenic corn crop, when perception is kidnapped, the senses saturated, not even the tiniest space for “being” is left, in times when we are simultaneously blind exploiters and the compliant exploited, identity is chewed up and spitted back as a model that’s useful and is convenient, and the time itself is used (and not elapsed or lived), we have to be, paraphrasing LHL, the T-cells, the lymphocytes that identify deseases. Also, the mycelium that penetrates the concrete, the grass that rips a crack, a spell that reaches the subconscious and opens spaces. And, it is not about reproducing or creating shapes, but about capturing forces (Deleuze/ Fr. Bacon)
