“Cartesian reason is entirely based ‘on the implicit assumption that the mind can only know that which it has itself produced and retains in some sense within itself.’ Its highest ideal must therefore be mathematical knowledge as the modern age understands it, that is, not the knowledge of ideal forms given outside the mind but of forms produced by a mind which in this particular instance does not even need the stimulation - or rather, the irritation - of the senses by objects other than itself.”

   										            - Hannah Arendt

Warped through psychotic phantasmagoria

Mind in shards of mirror and stained glass

Reassembled hereafter in the miasma of


collective unconscious decayed into neon

Sensitivity amplified, experience circumscribed


Wordlessly rendered to operational law

Virtual made effective, reality refashioned

Endless promise for adaptable minds

Determination boils over the fire of probability


Dissembling matter and energy from data-phase

Aesthesis unraveled within simulacra

Cogito ergo non sum, I am become apparatus

Initiate… Calculate… Simulate… Interlace

The eye evermore codified

Interface… Generate… Replicate… Annihilate

De omnibus dubitandum est


Cast forth into mercurial depths

Notions and Ideals lost to ephemeral passions fraught

with nothing but yearning for a cause lost

Identity without face, fleeing the depths of non-space

In barren distractions on carousels of light

Beauty dissimulated under mimetic theatrics


Thaumazein lost to obsession with complexity 


Espy the instrument of pure efficiency


Boundless
