Fucking Bad Mashup of my Work

If I'm not part of the solution I'm part of the problem.

My name is Alan Sondheim and I approve this message. have been
working with computers for decades, specifically virtual worlds
motion capture the past fifteen or so. developed notion of
'codework' to indicate works in which code presenced on surface,
but problematic - meaning uneasily inhabits distinctions among
'worlds work' program-spaces. Of course themselves are entangled
many other things, such as body, abjection, 'dirt' mix. In
capture, I've worked altered software mapping, producing
distorted avatars avatar behaviors. worlds, concepts gamespace,
edgespace, blankspace; here some very rough definitions examples
Gamespace rule-governed space any game where 'game' defined
anything from TAZ Arctic exploration chess; one plays within
rules. The rules can be fuzzy, invisible, even non-existent.
Edgespace my term what occurs at boundaries/borders gamespace
assumed behaviors fall apart, still functions a broken totality,
although 'untoward' contrary occur. includes soft hacks,
griefing, permeating in-game barriers, so forth. Blankspace it
gets interesting projections introjections (psychoanalytical
terms) happens edgespace. realm dreams, fantasms, appearances,
ideologies, suturings, An example above attempting clean proper
mapping world, Mercator projections, GPS, etc. 'logic' map.
'reading' Antarctic regions world all way through, say, 1880;
these were presented worldmaps blanks, often contradictory
delineations landmass/watermass (i.e. if you follow shoreline,
example, land, might transform into shoreline sea) there
'logical' 'fills' edgespace get quaint 'Heere bee dragonnes'
placed edgespaces think Mandeville's Travels. Much recent work
deals blankspace: occurred; it's few years old, hopefully clear
example. All terms, regions, each other; no boundaries, absolute
delineations. More recently, semiotic splatter fragmented
chaotic semiosis, both control dissolution. use that semiosis
never totalized, falls coagulates clumps; relates defuge,
incessant presencing material appears more stale derogated.
Semiotic related strange attractors chaos theory leads (semiotic
generation) coagulative hardening rise totalitarianism out
(political, economic) chaos. This connects idea/l an dictionary
definition tautology: 'syzygy = syzygy' _effect_ goes beyond
(saying election 'rigged' over again rubs off, derogates,
projected abject me mythical deathdrive; patience, watch
4-minute Finally, practice write/produce daily level; doing
pieces (text/music/image/video) since 1994, continuous
meditation first, 'cyberspace,' now extended elsewhere.
