On the production of new realities

"In analogue film, light leaves traces on the sensitive emulsion, imprinting on it permanent shadows. The manipulation of two realities - the superimposition of two stills, both traces of material realities - produces something that is already outside the logic of "realism". Rather than represent reality, it produces a new reality... "

Vaguely remembering the insinuation that the only semiotic system capable of interpreting another semiotic system is to be language, Sam Renseiw realised while editing more finish(ing) footage, that voodling makes interior architecture something other, transforms it into a new item. And that new item is, in itself and apart from the fact to which it is referring, an event, that could also be called a "fact". View the new interior artefact by clicking here or on the links above.

"With respect to history, the narrative has become impossible since by definition it is the potential re-narrativization of a sequence of meaning. Through the impulse of total diffusion and circulation each event is liberated for itself only - each event becomes atomized and nuclear as it follows its trajectory into the void. In order to diffuse itself ad infinitum, it has to be fragmented like a particle.Even theory is no longer in the state of "reflecting" on anything anymore. All it can do is to snatch concepts from their critical zone of reference and transpose them to the point of no return, in the process of which theory itself too, passes into the hyperspace of simulation as it loses all "objective" validity, while it makes significant gains by acquiring real affinity with the current system..." 

"A fine Pataphysical point", remarked Sam R. quoting the investigations, while capturing a glimpse of the place. click here or on the icon to view.
