Self-Appointed Non-Author Rolando

So this is the product of a binge. This is a writing binge. A writing binge produced this morning from the hours of around 9:45 AM to 10:47 AM. A writing binge in which the voices of many are captured in a streaming manner, like a copy of a second remove, a stroll through a scroll. A writing binge that says something about, yes, authorship, about, yes, collaboration, about, yes, writing, about, yes, authorship. I’m dead. As they say in the comic strips: plop.
:)
Immersion/alienation, the king/crying of lot 49, ending up on YouTube watching a dude beat boxing, sorting through info constantly, that’s what she does in lot 49 and she doesnt know what’s relevant, how do we interface janelle asks, but she hasn’t read the lot since undergad, but if is is a question of interface in the Pynchon novel were dealing with perspective we call it interface (see) what I’m writing right now is inner-processed information janelle talks and I write and she’s saying something and im writing something like some rosa mistica, was that our control or is that part of the machine (the beat boxing she means), just as there is an author who actually has a plan whether or not we follow that plan doesn’t really natter, amilie: that sounds like ppstmodernism! The part of postmodernism I’ve always been interested is always manipulating narrative, but I think we would want to make a distinction of a postmodern critique of history, so its not like postmodernism goes out and tries to do that bt shows how it’s already taking place, because theres so much information, a history of women, theres no one path of history, it does sound like info seductive, we’re we pay attention to form, yes aesthetics that’s what I meant, I don’t think he trashes postmodernism but maybe he doesn’t explain it very well, inn a way he resuscitated it, well everyone wants postmodernism to be dead so he can do the philosopha thing, the problem that I had haas the way he talked about postmodernism an intermediary di not constitute a paradigm, that’s what I disagree with, I jdo think his idea builds on, I think postmodernism constitutes a paradigm as important as modernism, postmodenrn continues t be a major drive, I always try to look at every word, what are e themes here at connect to postmodernism, so I don’t think his info aesthetics are greater than somehow, when I first started the essay and I’m introducing info aesthetics and to me it sounded like a neologism but hes still rifting off postmodernism to talk about the term, but I can just introduce is new term and say ThIS Is THe nE w PoTSMODznRSM that’s when I started to get s little question, thats when I went aaaaaaah I was a little turned off unlike the aaa’ and h I just wrote, what connotations, what concepts, terms, observations, that manovich presents to us, the idea that people have always said e future is a back box and ow we have all these new black boxes and all of that is here eve object has to be turned into an interface for the exchange of information you guys should try this speed writ in in the iPad it feels so good just like a certain kind of high this idea that where processing info whether were working or calling people or call girls that we call it comes across as banal not the call girls but we don’t think that we should tnk about what we think about when we use e iPod I mean DoNt thINk ABoUt T just use it, how do we interface with these forms–I think that’s useful, I was interested in an industrial society where you’re still doing info processing applying ideas in a real world way and watching threads weave guys use more metaphors so this text is pretty main component of human interaction with the world, I think the most interest point in the essay is how design is affected guyot not by the computer but that design is done on computers how doe how how hw does the mockup process affect devices in the real world but take realw orld materials and CrAFTThEsEOBjEcTsWiVHaReBECoMInGEFEamERAl, that goes back to your first point, you’re right humans in an industrial mode were also processing information we are efficient info processing humans and we have these devices to do that but what does it mean if we have thbse devices and there’d are the things that iPad iPhones apps what apps we have in the pocket of our eye (yes!) what does guru meditation mean for meditation (Tim welsh!) I think you’re right the barrier within the virtual and the real dissolves and shows itself to never hhve been there in the first place, there are objects, can we think of any objects that have changed since computers—-CARS!!!!!!!!! from chk chk chk chk to aerodynamic you know, GpS! Auto park feature, and then auto drive so wives can give blow jobs to their husbands, I wonder if its akin to the diff. Between digital music and Lp, look at Howe much is lost, think about the ability of an artist to create baroque on a computer, mathemtactical processes!,!,!, they’re catching up but not there, why’s everything sleeker and sleeker instead if more complex you think about a column with it’s finial things at the top that gets harder in a computer you’re constraining mathematical, it becomes an aesthetic, the good thing about design is where getting info resented graphically but it has to be resented ina c imputed handleable way because we can ZOooOoOm in, cocoac cola beverages, the computers catching up but its ketchup up. My brother innlaws an architect and he does classical work and after Katrina he studied architecture wrought Nola nd reproduced it in computers unlike the brd Pitt houses which had brad Pitt windows and a brad pitt pic :) a whole city designed on a computer once you design it it cap pas dpremarkably fast, were making a distinction between original design and I hate that distinction actually though music is a good example in digital apropos manalogo alripos aspects of life apropos particular case apropos the digital will never be a real representation of the analog (Josh, you can think you’re not a hipster!” ) you’re always getting the warmer part of the sound theres a part then you’ll try to replicate that and one up with some different but better being able to reproducesounnds n. Computer some artists not even use instruments anymore and like like like I think that people are doing things with computers lets create sound, people will make music in computers only, when it is the sound of. Guitar better on a computer, info aesthetics is useful even limitatinons apropos sustaining dissemination, not merely judge or value look at how the music appears or occurs differently look at how it’s stored differently I think, that’s, interesting, maybe, Sounds like InDuStRiALizAtIOn! A née digital it is sadnthat bring Ann example I think the industrial revoltuoln. Killed architecture old he’s are more intricate than my urban landscape of a digital NoLa! Newly designed hypes don’t have that elaborate look anymore and Mary McKay has a strange face I don’t know what it means, , guy has a dpfedora hat, rebll has a besrd, I never thought to compare the two, the industrial revolution compeltey changed e way people operated in the world, for me it’s jailing up the car with gass and eventually you start to slow down and Chris looks a bit on the tired kind of side, why the panic this time around Amelie brought a good time people freaked out any time there’s a paradigm shift,people forget when there isn’t a paradigm shift!!,! People didn’t freak out enough
PEOPLE FREAKED THE FUCK OUT
You can’t even freak out when yours scared and American psycho when he gets recycled back into the system, V always has that thug where he comes across problems and he wants to freak out but he lets it slide
guYs pYNcHoN IS SEcLUdEd!
If you wanna freak out there’s many ways to distract yourself. I think that’s more like brave new world
So have I captured your voices or is it just my voice capturing your voices ir just my writing which is a dead ing and an author function
We covered it in Plato thought writing ruined speech nd typing ruined writing (heidy!) but now were having a MaSsIVE FrEaK-OUt!
George Lucas thinks the world is going to end in 2012.

I really think next week the first question should be: R U FRkD OUT?
Permanent anxiety I think we retreat in tea baggers (you read Maus!) I don’t think we’ve ever discussed digital culture and going back further postmodernism and drug culture which is an importnt Moshe postmodernism is a real paradigm shift and people have always taken drugs and we’ve never really retreated from thhe drugs retreated from the retreat of the retreated world…

The San Andreas fault in the modern mind? It always comes back to Walker Percy for me. this is rolando speaking. This is the shadow of rolando speaking. This is the second remove if rolando speaking. Is is me speaking and aging that most of our effort now is about how most of our life is about being able to speak at all, because we can’t survive the San andreas fault in the modern mind. And I, I rolando, I me, I me say that this is me speaking, and that the malaise will not be solved until you see the holiness in—
