Automaton - Experimental Research





This is a photograph, not yet widely circulated, of experimental research into creating a cyborg. Unfortunately I cannot reveal my sources, for reasons that should be obvious.

Here, the process is incomplete. The human skin has not yet covered the metallic, robotic parts. There is evidence to suggest that human organs are used and remain largely intact, however a metallic-like substance has been "grown" using similar methods to growing crystals.

One source states that the metallic substance contains human gene codes and, therefore can be "grown" organically. This is probably done using nanotechnological methods, in a similar fashion to"organic computing".

I apologise for the quality of the photograph, but the photograph was taken very quickly at a location that I cannot reveal.

The ethical issues surrounding this discovery are monumental. However I can assure all viewers that we witnessed no signs of life, whether physical or pertaining to consciousness.

More infomation can be found by contacting me by email (on Blogger profile).

Thank you

And when the whole freaky weld of faces stares
back at the life you lead like do re mi fa
do re mi fa the whole punch of the heifer
punts piston and of the strange scary
scape of the performance of a shopping centre

i i i can't re sa fa ti do ri mi expand
myself only by atmospheres ti do re mi fa so do da
music concrete arabesque by Selfridges
and ghosts in the car park shuffle
as if reminding us of Babylon

metal whistles its own devices
and the clerk to the court repossesses
buildings that could have been used
to house us, nevertheless, fiscally astute
carve our spiritual ambitions towards the untouchables

lest we be reminded that money flows
from hand to hand, this less
now, from trace to trace
to ask spirits to rise from trees
would be far too convenient

Don't tell me I'm not haunted
I'm a ghost I'm a ghost
in a weld in a mesh
a kernel or animal

My old man, air is full of caffeine and this inertia
as for global art; to shake post modernity
and find its only originality, its "sweetness and light"
would be testament to disconnecting your broadband

Do I know you?
If so then
who the fuck are you?
Bella! Bella Nella?
Bella Nella D'ella betwixt
the curtain and the stage
fright, night, flight of
tragedy and comedy (between, of her)

And don't you
I couldn't tell you knows
alright with out doubt

selfless brigand of Surrealism
Potented (pointe)

Foro Romano


Walking through ancient Rome at Foro Romano, near to the Colosseum, the remains and artifacts of a once powerful empire, I came to realise two things....

Firstly, history should not be considered academic first and foremost. History is the recording of lived activity, it is the living of events that was and still is, of most importance. History is not some abstract, mental hypothesis, it is the accurate recording of actual events, as much as is possible. Hypothesis has its place, but this is secondary to the recording and communication of actuality. Writing as the raison d'etre of history, forces hyper reality, emphasising the power of the written word and those who record history.

Students of history (all of us) should realise the limitations of reportage, the responsibilities that come with supposition and the realisation that we are active participants in history. They should be encouraged to view archaeological sites and involve themselves archaeological research. They should be involved in local history projects - "living history". Seeing history as an academic or literary exercise makes it harder to communicate the actual events of history and their importance. This is particularly important today, when we are very concerned with the short-term and coerced into making snap decisions rather than considering the long term as well as the short term effects of our actions.

Secondly, Roman remains and their preservation have great relevance to today. As we know, Rome was a great power, much influenced by Greek civilisation. Roman society was intellectual, aesthetic, inventive and sophisticated. They also had a barbaric ad blood-thirsty side that helped them to extend their empire so successfully.

Today, our Greek-influenced, Western empire, lead by the United States, should learn from the history of Rome. No empire is too powerful or sophisticated to fall. We must make sure that corruption, like we have seen over recent years, does not cause the West to fall, as was the fate of Rome.

Leaving the awe inspiring ruins behind, gilded by Orange Trees, Cypresses, I watched the sunset behind the Colloseum and walked to a nearby cafe. "Bon sera, cafe americano per favore," I said in a French accent! "Coffee American coming right up Sir!" The waiter replied. "Grazie!" I said, hoping to tease some Italiano from him, "Preggo!" He replied almost like an after thought.

text for a new (yet unimagined) picture

You can't (I) and then construe the robots like science thou secular morality
wears thin by technology and governed by politicians oh! false tyger, by this we conceive a place for humanity next to commerce

Turn your computer on

Hang on I don't know you dominant do you live here? Well not in your flat! Really? 2 doors away... For 7 years! To think I've never seen you! Animal I thought you were a fucking painting something like what you get at Cyclops. I have one of those memorable faces. People think I am in adverts. Fucking! Yes, fucking! :-) Well friends cost money I can't afford it. Did you say that? Yes, it was me! Time is so expensive now. Yes, I know friends are much cheaper on the Internet.

Drinking causes damage that you can't see Autumnal driving causes damage that you can see but can't afford to preach as there is no evidence of cost-effectiveness. Mesmer do you remember before the partners and minors act? We weren't paid to oppose parentless minors... Do you remember? I can't seem to remember any more but music helps to fill in the gaps where ideas once roamed.

Poem Full of Dance Energy

The fist circs the bee sucks
Mr.Elephant's formaldehyde is clover'd
it bust rust da goo goo Ganges (phonetics)

Way out ladyboy glockenspiel "pro"
objetif looks (Thia)
Giraffe stages, the 3 Stooges (premonition/promote)

Three themes hear, employ to
vacate emotion, practical tense (the denied is our next procession)
enrapture les animaux season d'etre

One moon one tide one creature in formaldehyde (arte moderne)
wiggles her soul through bra statistics
Clever she may

no herself from professionalism, the
art of how you say it, the wasp (feminine condition)
craves the butterfly's tongue

wrapped like a moth's cocoon, the idee fix
of minutiae, petite morte and petites objets (impractical present)
Open hand the style decries the species (legislative chivalry)

for bees dance and and ants milk greenfly
by the stream where faeries entertain
near galaxies and taxis (pre-op transvestite)

Subjetif follows her nose
like a crepe suzette lost 4 buns in the oven
intuition may now be purely physical (ontological foret)

like lust until we return spiritual
my cabby is a hippopotamus (ungovernable fable, apathetic humanity.....)
and you are a horse.

Dear Reader, you are Pegasus. (western misanthropy
