En esta entrada sólo pondré algunos párrafos que llamaron mi atención, y pensamientos que se me venían mientras leía, no necesariamente referentes a los párrafos:
The
Electronic Revolution:
In the beginning was the word and the word was god and has
remained one of
the mysteries ever since. The word was God and the word was
flesh we are told. In
the beginning of what exactly was this beginning word? In
the beginning of WRITTEN
history.
Quizá nosotros escribimos porque no vivimos en
presente, los animales sí viven en presente, y hablan, hablan del ahora,
nosotros necesitamos hablar del ayer, llorar por el mañana también.
The written word is of course a
symbol for something and in the case of hieroglyphic
language writing like Egyptian
it may be a symbol for itself that is a picture of what it
represents.
My basis theory is that the written
word was literally a virus that made spoken word possible.
También los pensamientos son virus supongo, a
veces hasta obsesiones, a veces desiertos donde falta que llegue ese virus.
In an
article entitled VIRUS ADAPTIBILITY AND HOST RESISTANCE by
G.
Belyavin, speculations as to the biologic goal of the virus
species are enlarged ...
‘Viruses are obligatory cellular parasites and are thus
wholly dependant upon the
integrity of the cellular systems they parasitize for their
survival in an active state. It
is something of a paradox that many viruses ultimately
destroy the cells in which
they are
living...”
A veces las palabras también son parásitas,
viven de otras, y lo peor, logran formar pensamientos, pensamientos que causan
acciones.
Is the virus then simply a time bomb left on this planet to
be
activated by remote control? An extermination program in
fact? In its path from full
virulence to its ultimate goal of symbiosis will any human
creature survive?
Is the
white race, which would seem to be more under virus control
than the black yellow
and brown races, giving any indication of workable
symbiosis?
Quizá a veces el lenguaje en vez de hacernos
evolucionar, nos devoluciona, nos acerca a una lógica inventada, pero nos aleja
de lo humano, de lo ilógico, de los sentimientos, de la humildad de ser, nos
forza a tener que tener un control absurdo sobre nuestro ser.
‘Taking the virus eye view, the ideal situation would appear
to be one in which
the virus replicates in cells without in any way disturbing
their normal metabolism.’
Would you offer violence to a well intentioned virus on its
slow road to symbiosis?
Un virus no tiene que ser malo, a veces es una
puerta a la transformación.
wunder
kindern
Having effected alterations in the host’s structure that
resulted in a
new species specially designed to accomodate the virus the
virus can now replicate
without disturbing the metabolism and without being
recognized a virus.
It was a killer virus once.
“It is the beginning of the end.”
In the Electronic Revolution I advance the theory that a
virus IS a very small
unit of word and image.
Tape recorder 1 is Adam. Tape recorder 2 is Eve. Tape
recorder 3 is God, who deteriorated after Hiroshima into the
Ugly American. Or to
return to our primevil scene: Tape recorder 1 is the male
ape in a helpless sexual
frenzy as the virus strangles him. Tape recorder 2 is a
cooing female ape who straddles
him. Tape recorder 3 is DEATH.
Steinplatz postulates that the virus of biologic mutation,
which he calls Virus B-
23, is contained in the word. Unloosing this virus from the
word could be more
deadly that loosing the power of the atom. Because all hate
all pain all fear all lust is
contained in the word.
Y si desaparezco mis palabras, podré
desaparecer mi dolor?
Number
2, having gained access to the cell. leads in number 3.
Number 3 is the effect produced
in the host by the virus: coughing, fever, inflamation.
NUMBER 3 IS
OBJECTIVE REALITY PRODUCED BY THE VIRUS IN THE HOST Viruses
make
themselves real.
PLAYBACK is the essential ingredient.
THE INVISIBLE GENERATION
Adam experiences shame when his DISCRACEFUL BEHAVIOR IS
PLAYED
BACK TO HIM BY tape recorder 3 which is God.
Just
pointing out that cut/ups on the tape recorder can be used
as a weapon.
I suggest that the underground press could perform this
function much more
effectively by the use of cut/up techniques.
This I had done in 1968. And this is an extension of the
cut/up method. The
simplest cut/up cuts a page down the middle and across the
middle into four sections.
Section 1 is then placed with section 4 and section 3 with
section 2 in a new
sequence. Carried further we can break the page down into
smaller and smaller
units in altered sequences.
“A virus is characterised and limited by obligate cellular
parasitism. All viruses
must parasite living cells for their replication.
Remember the life cycle of a virus ... penetration of a cell
or activation within
the cell, replication within the cell, escape from the cell
to invade other cells, escape
from host to infect a new host.
