A word expanding and fragmenting to become a text.
Expanding and fragmenting, and the fragments expand and fragment and the fragments expand and fragment and the fragments expand and fragment.
Fragmenting to become, becoming fragmented, becoming fragments. Fragments becoming and expanding to fragment.
To become a text. To become: A text. The fragments of a text, expanding to become another text, the text of the text, the hyper-text.


Everything
has a place, a place for everything in the system of classification. But everything is part of everything else. Everywhere is somewhere else and everywhere is nowhere and nowhere is here and now, where everything has a place in the place for everything.


X-ray
vision for seeing ex-statically in the dark. Ecstatic vision, visions of ecstacy at a time of uncertainty.


Poetry
in motion - the dance of images across the screen of emergent languages. If words could walk, could move, could dance, could climb walls and jump over rivers.


Lucid
dreams and Language in ruins. Lucid fragments and dreams in ruins.


Otherness
and the separation of the parts from the whole.
Otherness and sameness and difference and the places in between.


Sampling
fragments of reality for the mix engines of digital futures. Resampling the samples for a purified signal/sample/signal.


Infinity
and the next step beyond the biggest or smallest, the incremental extenuation of the absolute. Everything plus one, doubled, plus one.


Online,
connected and incorporated. A global village, market, town square, piazza, park, meeting place - under surveillance. Online, connected and Observed.


Nothing,
if not something. Anything for something, something for nothing. Anything may be something, but nothing can only be nothing, and nowhere to be found.

Everything is X-ray poetry, its lucid otherness sampling infinity online for nothing.
