Status Updates From TOTAL DESTRUCTION

Liking the motifs regarding chopped and changed bodies, aliveness of a text and emergent patterns. Not sure regarding its presentation of unintentional oddities in a work.

An observation in one part seems to be "segmenting a serialised work either involves all parts being as effective as each other or the whole or a kind of incompleteness in a particular part analogous to cutting off an organism's limb". And both assumptions seem questionable to me as repetition builds meaning. I may be misinterpreting. However, the imagery is fantastic! Really like the video codec stuff.

I don't know if I philosophically agree with the parts about disparate elements because are things we think of as disparate so disparate as we think? Discordant notes are still part of the same song. Everything contains everything and certainly it's inverse. Feels odd to habitually underline stuff given the vertical words and txt format.

The jargonicity of the non-sequitur.

It’s brilliant and funny and sick, a remix of texts selected by an intelligent guy. “Womping” (or “writing on my phone”) produces a book like this, a book we should all try to write, and maybe did, not for its content but for its form.

This is going to be a grotesque slog. It’s funny though. It’s mainly a sort of cut up technique with blocks of text about movies, architecture, serial killers, music, coding design, etc. The textual layout is half the story. It’s clever. Then there’s the menacing unabashedly AI artworks that look like video games in hell
