postdogmatism – lanny quarles

You seem to expect people to catch your references
interview – english

[question 1 - perspektive] eric kluitenberg states for avant garde today that its main function is to disrupt the hegemonial code of society. techniques for this operation are i.e. satire and displacement. your texts are full of satire movement and displacing ideas from context. can your writing/working be combined to this kind of rupture against "sour reductionism of culture industry"?

[lanny quarles]

If my mask were a drinking bowl, then the fluidic marasmus of menippean satire would be its blackwater wine.
There is no hegemonic code, but only mediated interludes between the screams of idiots and the howls of the brutals. 
The process I adorn moves from content to context. At the dawn of this new machinic primordia, why can't people just get used to being ooze?
Every moment is just a weigh-station in the great diorama of matter in time. I am in love with these alchemical statues. How many millenia have they clomped and rutted in this starry abode? Misdirected to cognates of dream, I love to lie and play tricks. I eat good food. So yes, even I practice if not sour reductionism, let me be so bold as to posit an ontic reduction.

[question 2 - perspektive] hakim bey believes and operates in and with his prominent autonomous zones TAZ. bilwet summarizes that there is no grammar. room. spacer left. TAZ zones are at least entertainment zones (TEZ) for the dissatisfied autonomous playing the long version of their surface dilemma. your "secret society of XOCFISH" works on the destruction of all forms and want to replace the "old" forms with a kind of kinetic expressionism. is your secret stock exchange a kind of beyic TAZ zone or more an enterainment party zone? what is your kinetic expression in this secret cavism? :-)

[lanny quarles]

I believe this is the solipsifrag you designate:

Q:What is the Secret Society of XOCFISH? 
A: This is a group of modern shamans who seek to destroy all forms of government and replace it with a kinetic expressionism, a sculptural-event, the molecular equivalent of a random self-organizing equation, a protoplasmic-society. A mutagenesis.
Q: How do you intend to achieve this? 
A: By opening the Sacred Talisman OF "Born-You".... 

Suffice it to say, this is a kind of lyrical frivolity in defense of an invented specie of crypto-taoist ethics but with a schitzo nod to Busby Berkeley and perhaps Dziga Vertov. Don't you think modern political organization seems sort of arbitrary? Why is it so difficult to achieve anything? I usually write these things not because I think I have an answer, but to point to a range of questions...

[question 3 - perspektive] bilwets data dandy strolls along the hypermedia highways a few years ago as an descendant of walter benjamins flaneur of the passages. today the data dandy is more alonge and alone in the "real existing electronic loneliness" (bilwet) and is more encapsuled as before. you propagate language flux and decapitalisation of letters. is Roi Solipsikop the last emperor of textual
revenge and the future flaneur on the road of sign mongers?

[lanny quarles]

You seem to expect people to catch your references... Pynchon, to my mind is the penultimate name-dropper, because he does it in the service of misdirection.. the use of verbal cognates ie; Varo--->Varro. If this is an interview for the public readership you should really be a little more formal in citing your references. If you want me to posit responses in relation to specific texts, it would be nice to know what that text is. Is it the Arcades Project. Or the Fantomas Novels. I found the Geert Lovink article you are referring to. Bilwets is not Melville or Goethe; Its not post-structuralism or symbolist decadence. So whatever you want to call me, Data Dandy, asshole, joke-king of the data-lepers, poet.. I have always been a symbol-slut and a hickallectual.. I will be drinking small batch bourbon and yacking with my brothers and sisters long after I've fogotten this miniscule episode.. perhaps something is lost in translation.. but I am just having fun, and am a free and private person, not a media entity or a culture worker. Do you read Cioran, I believe he was roughly contemporary with Benjamin... What of the Boulevard Haussmann and the Baedeker of Hives....? Why did Emperor Rudolf blow so much money on Wagner? An aesthete perhaps... we all have our whipping posts...
