“The traditional model of creation → completion has, in many cases, given way to something more fluid, recursive, and continuous. The endurance of the idea… its refusal to conclude… is the work itself. Social media provides a stage for this endlessness, allowing the performance to loop…loop…loop…”

Cover of the book Conversations by César Aira. The illustration, which extends across the whole cover is of many tiled conversation boxes, as you might see in a cartoon or text chat. Each is sloppily painted with a bright color.

A Post on Language

It seems we are foraging, looking around in ourselves, and that’s what production is. I’m tired today, and all of the spatial and semantic clusters are hanging like grapes in the ripening vineyards. By which I mean it’s the end of summer. By which I mean I’m planning to describe a scene

Today I looked up at one of those early October brilliant blue skies that grace New York.

One might say that I looked up from my phone, from this other kind of Bluesky which feeds me all the madness of the world.
