Notes on still matters

Searches, formal issues, taxonomy

autocomplete, search predictions, dynamic/digital readymades // "the stage beyond search is prediction" > resulting in a kind of confirmation bias within search results 

generic font vs variegate brushmarks // text central on the page, however paginated such that it reads as concrete poetry (“something you can hear but can’t quite make out”)

reification of digital queries > found poetry made concrete

collation of neuroses manifest on the page // miscellany, minutiae from which something larger can be known? // constellation of neuroses, pleas and ponderings, from which some picture of contemporary society at this/that time may be known

a kind of census, almanac(k), catalogue, metonymic of contemporary society, perhaps (or at least intended as such) // See: Clare Milledge, Self reflexive critique: alpha lambada (Byron bay), a "catalogue of projected desire and contemporary social interaction"

Re: Walter Benjamin, One-way Street / 'Surrealism – The Last Snapshot of the European Intelligentsia’

"the revolutionary energies that appear in the 'outmoded'"

"what form do you suppose a life would take that was determined at a decisive moment by the street song last on everyone's lips?" // the last song on our lips, but spoken into the echo chamber of the internet 

"For what drama our setting is the setting" — Edmund Wilson, Night thoughts in Paris: a rhapsody

Potential titles

The street song last on our lips

Still Matters // or, Sti* Ma* > Stigmata? Stigmatas? 

Our Drama? (“For what drama our setting is the setting”) // or, The setting of our drama, or The drama of our setting? 

The world in a bunker of sand (To see a world in a bunker of sand / and a heaven in a wild cactus / hold infinity in the pocket of your shorts / and eternity in desert golfing)
