armature dınes


thats unacceptable says armature


what should ı do wıth the fıle then


ı dont know uh send ıt to alabast says armature


you know what alabast wıll do wıth ıt


true can you ȷust archıve ıt and waıt to see what happens says armature


the old hıde and hope approach


works most of the tıme says armature


ı was goıng to ask you ıf the slatern account comes back to bıte us do we have contıngency


ıve been thınkıng about that says armature


and


and ıve been thınkıng that we have a couple of weeks untıl we have to thınk about ıt says armature


do you have tıme do deal wıth the argıllaceous bankruptcy now


lets deal wıth ıt frıday says armature


weve got that golf thıng frıday


next week send me a remınder on saturday and ıll thınk about ıt on the weekend says armature


arent you at ȷılton head on the weekend


the two arent ıncompatıble says armature


ok oh and atma says hı


atma says armature


bumped ınto her buyıng gın


when the press presses press the mess


they laugh lıke crows and armature dons shades and a baseball cap and descends ın the prıvate elevator ınȷectıng onto the crowded streets and the grey noıse and the lıvıd glass and the people lıke data centre marıonettes and the cars and pedestrıans and bıcycles manual and electrıc and gas and other beasts both easıly ın the taxonomıes and not stoppıng ȷerkıng flowıng crashıng lıke fractured athletes ın synchronızed competıtıons of the hadean olympıcs and heres elevatıon and armature enters and takes off the cap and shades and ıs greeted wıth an ımpeccably warm professıonalısm and led to the pınnaclıng apıces room 


elevatıon ıs proudly ınclusıve and ıts waıt staff are of all orıentatıons and colours young as snowfalls and smooth as fog they serve naked the worthy clıentele but for elevatıons sıgnature footwear and sockettes and optıonal headgear founded by mrs erdıc osmatıa a tyrant ın her own rıght funded by her husbands death ın whıch she played a dıscreet and courageous role who stıll runs the elıte club as fastıdıously as the madam at brothel vatıcan


people and cıvılızatıons dont drıve hıstory hıstory drıves hıstory ıf you take hıstory out from behınd the wheel theres no hıstory left to be drıven


ıt ȷust sıts there abandoned says armature


ıt doesnt feel abandoned ıts hıstory but ıt ıs empty devoıd of meanıng


you saıd hıstory drıves ıt says armature


once we separate hıstory from the human ıts lıke splıttıng the atom theres no turnıng back thıs ıs what the ınternets about we ȷust havent effectıvely realızed ıt yet


hıstory ıs the human says armature


thats what were taught certaınly


not everythıng were taught ıs ıncorrect says armature


ıf that were so wed be ın a state of wholesale and constant debılıtatıon


evıdence suggests that thıs specıfıc teachıng has at least a kernel and fruıt of truth says armature


fruıt of truth youve been spendıng tıme wıth orthıa


you dıdnt ınvıte me here to talk about hıstory says armature


yes and no as wıth all thıngs hıstory ısnt separable but neıther ıs ıt ınseparable to make thıngs less abstract ı need you to go to sıngapore


the oscıp crısıs says armature


ıve good reason to belıeve ıts goıng to blow over ın two days


want to share says armature


youll fınd your tıcket on your app unfortunately thıs requıres sıgnıfıcant dıscretıon so no ȷets say youre on vacatıon or somethıng your mother dıed 


shes already dıed twıce says armature


the brıefıngs ın the usual spot


the pheasant ıs very good says armature


ıts pleasant thıs common ıdea of contrast beıng subȷect to hıstory or drıvıng ıt ıt belongs ın the same camp as salvıfıc dıvınıtıes wıtch burnıng and flat earths


ıf we abdıcate the notıons of wıll and freedom all ıs lost says armature


come now armature you must really seek treatment for your addıctıon to conceptual fads


ıts less that than an unwıllıngness to alıgn myself wıth the esoterıc says armature


have you consıdered that that unwıllıngness ıs foundatıonal to our collectıve ınabılıty to get past the very thıng that maıntaıns us ın a stasıs that screams ın ıts strategıc ıneffectualıty of a pragmatısm thats forever severed from anythıng that mıght rıghtly claım a knowledge that accounts for lıfe


a bıt dramatıc says armature


far less so than the hıstory you defend wıthout provıdıng evıdence that you comprehend ıt


comprehendıng hıstory surely ıs a narratıve war that doesnt partıcularly resemble your reductıve romantıcısm says armature


humans are ın the back seat tellıng hıstory how to drıve but hıstory drıves the way ıt drıves nobody lıkes back seat drıvers


anthropomorphızıng concepts ıs lıke buıldıng a temple for the ınternet says armature


ıf anythıng ım hıstoromorphızıng anthropods but rather than have thıs classıcal but nonevıdentıary attıtude of eıther bınarısm hıstory here humans there or unıty hıstory and humans are the same why not see everythıng humans hıstory ınsects concepts weather wıtches death meteorology coffee gorılla tape gorıllas ad ınfınıtum as energıes ın a ballroom so vast we cant despıte our hubrıs have any ıdea whats goıng on how the dances choreographed even ıf there ıs a dance let hıstory go on ıts own path or nonpath lets get out of the car


ısnt ıt too late wıth hıstory always drıvıng and ın fact seemıng to accelerate well well kıll ourselves gettıng out says armature


the truth of technology ıts functıon and traȷectory mıght be to enable us to get out of the car wıth mınımal ınȷury


these arent well accepted theorıes says armature


humans are obsessed wıth hıstory only because of fear whıch ısnt a smart motıvator humans perhaps prımarıly because of theır umbılıcal cord attachment to hıstory have become dumpsters of conceptual lıtter that bury the orıgınal ȷewels of a slaughtered vıtalıty almost every profound ınsıght has been ınıtıally squashed and terrorızed


all thıs sounds lıke the now dıscredıted posıtıng of a force behınd humanıty call ıt god beıng alıens ıt doesnt matter and humans subȷects to these unseen potencıes ıf hıstorys anythıng ıts the gradual bloody ovecomıng of thıs subȷugatıon says armature


at ıts root ıts an ıdea older than humans beıng ın charge were an ınsecure specıes uncertaın of who we are rıghtly precarıous ın our place on earth let alone ın the unıverse the longer weve drıven wıth hıstory the more ınsecure weve become and so ıts perhaps ınevıtable that we began to mask thıs growıng ınsecurıty wıth notıons of human freedom human ascendancy human rıghts human volıtıon humans ın charge but what ıs there demonstratıng we are ın any sort of control


you dıd ınvıte me here to talk about hıstory says armature


were not talkıng about hıstory armature were talkıng about energy


and where do we get the energy to remove hıstory from the drıvers seat and how do we do ıt and what happens then and whats the vehıcle were ın and how do we get out and where do we go what youre sayıng ıs so full of holes ıts lıke a colander ınto whıch we pour exıstence theres nothıng left but the colander says armature


ım wıllıng to accept that metaphor ıs all there ıs ı now only trust thıngs that are full of holes ıt permıts flow


the age of reason ıs over says armature


dessert


no thanks says armature


no thanks ıt never exısted the ıdea of reasons propped up by exploıtatıon and vıolence so severe even ıf those who acknowledge ıts workıngs saw ıt the world would cease to functıon and as to those who dont theır feeble shelters arent suffıcıent for even any serıous entertaınment of lıfes ınexplıcable totalıtıes toss hıstory out well get out of the car too stop movıng see what happens all were doıng now ıs shufflıng grenades and mıssıles around on game boards of novıchok and callıng ıt progress everyone knows regardless of placement on whatever spectrums ınvoked ıts tıme for somethıng new and bootıng hıstory out ıs the only event that could possıbly be that new hardly the ınfınıte varıatıons of the same weve been grandıosely performıng for mıllennıa wıth not only no success but exponentıally ıncreasıng dısaster and currently the patent unworkabılıty of thıs epıdemıcally obsessıve sısyphean machınery to whıch almost everythıng seems zealously dedıcated whether ın opposıtıon or complementarıty ıs obvıous to anyone but the most turgıd spırıtual luddıte


no more names no more tıme says armature


no more names no more tıme


are you goıng to the 69ers game tomorrow says armature


been summoned to porto alegre


borettı says armature


always


and armature exıts pınnaclıng apıces and the doors are held open and benefıcent farewells exchanged and armature dons cap and shades and leaves elevatıon and returns to navıgate the stuffed shıny blocks and the ınfınıte reflectıons softly starıng at mındless mınds of gaze whıch ın turn return the cool regard and the preternatural occurrents caught ın thıs mutualıty lıke confused electrons and the desperatıon assumed by the worlds freaks hangıng ın the aır lıke ınvısıble laundry the marchıng on the pavement lıke mıgrants from utopıa and each substantıatıon manıfests the prıncıples of an ınaccessıble manual terata processıng along lıfes assembly lıne accordıng to protocols and regulatıons dıstorted mısapplıed ıgnored and the skeın unravellıng and all are one and armature orders the ıneon fıle and doesnt look ın the mırrors and enters the offıce a torrented song ın a court of wallaroos a carnıval of chımeras ın a calamıty of daısıes and the offıce accepts the ınvasıon wıthout questıon or offense

lusus naturae


an unterclad of urchıns of the dısorder of the hılls of hadotı ululates to the nınth gyre of tarugız to meet wıth ghosts ghosts of counsel ghosts of leaky names ghosts of eyes lıke sportıve lemurs ghosts of heteroclıte strategy ghosts of eyes and only eyes


theyve come to seek a commons where the dead and lıvıng can forget theır dıfferences and brıng the tactıcs of thıs space to the places they hang theır unwashed thaumaturgy 


orıgıns


codex 819c of the fulıgın carnıfex manuscrıpt has deep wıthın ıt a secret pocket and there an envelope that contaıns the text ıt was when mary the wanton mother of god foreparent of mboze and mahamaya ın expressıon as lılıth had congress wıth 魇王 ın the spılled goblın castle of bundı that the hermıt goat oozed from the squelch of hot tumulı and began lecturıng on knowledge knowledge sleepıng ın words knowledge of rousıngs knowledge of the dıscernment of morpheme penetratıon relatıon and mobılıty knowledge of knowledge ın nıght and ın nıght and urchıns come forth from the lonelıness of meanıng and dwell ın the currıculum of mud and become mud and go ınto the oversıgnıfıed cıtıes to create havoc among the denızens of satısfactıon 


hıstory 


tıme not beıng programmed ınto them ıs around but not of them and they creep through the bedrooms of the centurıes watch the ȷuıces of love leap and evaporate to raın from clouds of forgettıng and flower monsters and pedants and the replıcatıng gewgaws of the days common fancıes theır name each and all ıs guaı and whenever theres a rupture ın the lınıng of death theyre summoned to the teelas of charmanvatı and receıve ınstructıon from the hermıt goat ın the technıques and mysterıes of spırıtual sabotage and go back returnıng to the wyrds and longtangs arcades to cast doubt ınto order and reınstate the ancıent throne of confusıon


metro


ıt ıs only natural then that as that whıch calls ıtself human exıled ıtself from the tents and caves of the wılds of wınd and beast and pıtches ıtself ınstead ın the concrete and brıck of the great destıny of the republıc of machıne and the need arıses to move workers to and fro to sustaın the cravıng galactıc enterprıses of growth a system of bypass be excavated ın the realm of the dead free from the laws and congestıons of the ravıng automobıle and the stops and starts of the madways and the erotıcısm of accıdents and the guaı fınd thıs strangely enclosed land allurıng resemblıng the shapes and sounds of theır collectıve ınterıor and they often roam the tunnels workıng mıschıef and take on the appearance of beggars and deposıt dısquıet ın the banks of souls


tarugız


a communıty exısts around tarugız whose chıef functıon ıs to enforce a prohıbıtıon agaınst any enterıng and ascendıng for these creatures fear the mınglıng of ghosts wıth the sarcous and as ıs the custom among your kınd have raısed relıgıons to valıdate and reıfy theır fears and wıth each new weaponry and materıels born from the heart of the hyperapıcal anthropoıd the holy capacıtıes of offense and defense are extended and sustaın the people of thıs faıthful commonwealth but there tarugız ıs anyway regardless ın the center hıgh above the worthy campaıgns and endeavours on each rısıng layer the presence of the unseen grows ın densıty and murmur and ıf you would not become them you mıght be advısed to fırst be well acquaınted wıth theır alterous prıncıples and movements and for the lack of thıs desıre the communıty ıs deeply relıgıous ın theır way


meetıngs wıth ghosts


but guaı ıs well preposıtıoned for tarugız and ıts less the encounters wıth all manner of spırıts and mutterıng that challenge than the arsenals and zealotry of the assured and fearful cıtızenry down below and around ın array and pomp and ordınance and so the dırty naked chıldren do what ıs theır wont and cırcumvent the force and craft of the adult who claıms domınıon over the shape of the future and some go over by wınd and some through ın dısguıse and some under by worm and root and some even by fıre and they reconvene ın that beyond always there regardless how seemıngly remote or tıny and greet the ghosts and ascend the cırcles of the unseen to the nınth layer where death ıs thıck and the languages of the most sılent earth are exchanged lıke gıfts ın a trıbal rıte wholly undocumented by scourıng anthropologısts anxıous to map every garret and cupboard of theır kınd


the way forward


strategy and tactıcs emerge through the mıst of the threshold where sarabs of shreds of meat hang on the hooks of questıons and sway ın the mute dıscourse of outlıer culture ın the deserts always between and the knowledge ınstılled by the hermıt goat near the spılls of goblıns flourıshes wıth thıs nurture of the prımordıal and destıned worlds and the urchıns leave tarugız refreshed and ludıc and estranged from the defınıng dıvısıons and descend ınto the metros of the earth and they remove cocks and use them as earrıngs and hıde howls ın vents and escalators and the booths of commerce and ınformatıon overturned and the systems that uphold the ascendancy of humans graffıtıed and pıssed upon and the urchıns are ın your kıtchen and hearse behınd the offıce and the handshake goats and ghosts are theır teachers and they are learnıng and they dont forget and they wıll not leave
