[NetBehaviour] oud, elegy

[Alan Sondheim]

Hi Simon, it's a mix. I cull from my own texts, using grep, sed, tr, 
sometimes awk, sometimes perl programs; I then go into the text and modify 
it, giving it (for me only perhaps) some sort of phenomenological or 
philosophical import. Since the culling is from my work in the first 
place, it's possible to link up and develop content 'granules.' With the 
recent 'eternity' piece for example, I culled all the lines I had written 
with 'eternity' in them - then eliminated the word, collapsing the lines - 
'eternity' is never (a) performative. The result for me is what might have 
been, but isn't.
