It will be interesting to see what kind of art our time period will be remembered for leaving behind. Could the Picasso of our time be an artist that uses photoshop instead of traditional paint?
The way I see it is we all can be the next Picasso's, for we are only limited by our own imaginations. The internet can be our canvas.
I’ve always been sort of troubled by the notion of ‘social networking’ websites, and as a result have never bothered to be involved in them – other than once, and that was business related.
I don’t consider space collective to be one, as it’s intention does not seem to be to be a place to ‘hook up’ and show off all of the...

This project assumes that its authors know what it means to be human and that that definition of human can be applied to all members of the race currently existing on the planet. There are no specifications made about humans from the United States or humans from Guatemala; all are lumped together. In finding the alien in our own race to be a...

When I say—
(the sun sets on a field of blue to orange-red)
it has nothing to do with—
(thin fingers of smoke rise from refugee chimneys)
(tired heart, clutching threadbare rest)
The lake is half frozen & the geese & swans can’t make up their minds.
Everything has gained a transitory aura & its tough to pin down exactly which habits should rise
from ancient genetic patterns until the beard-frost leaves the surface.
Their feet are leathery—
the cold does not phase them.
Drums started the boys west to this field from Washington.
War to them was a three-month enlistment,
a bright uniform & a chance to carry a musket.
Senators, Congressmen, their wives & children,
packed baskets with lunches & followed to watch the show.
Almost a century & a half has passed.
Somehow my visit seems forced,...
I
most are kids
can’t grow a mustache
where they’re going, bullets won’t care
jumpy ghosts who know nothing about conflict
except what a fist feels like after a school dance argument
ready to be heroes
boots, BDUs & guns
leaving gym bleachers like a slow parade
watch the families say good-bye with tearful
fuck yous &...
hello everybody,
it looks great..

Sobre todas as coisas e sobre tudo no mundo
Um círculo começa onde terminou. Mas onde ele termina, então? Apenas transferimos o problema de um lugar indefinido pra outro lugar indefinido. Não. Se a pergunta for "Onde começa um círculo?" então está resolvido.
Tudo é referencial. Eu não sou metódico.
De qualquer forma,...
I'll start with a fractal I find fitting to this website. It is an image of infinitely many worlds.
I've always been fascinated with fractals. The chaos and complexity that can be found in just one hints at some answer to an unknown question. Relatively simple equations bring about infinite patterns and possibilities. And they look awesome...
"By and large, Kaccayana, this world is supported by a polarity, that of existence and non-existence. But when one sees the origination of the world as it actually is with right discernment, 'non-existence' with reference to the world does not occur to one. When one sees the cessation of the world as it actually is with right discernment,...
I’d like to write you a message
in hundred-foot high flaming letters.
It would tell you
you no longer needed glasses.
A passing spacecraft might mistake
my words for a signal
that the earth was running out of air
and, though we are very sorry,
there is no safe place for them to land.
If the words were bright enough
they may carry to...
Do not say “red”.
Avoid mention of Ares.
In fact, don’t wax classical
at all.
Keep it simple.
Don’t drink the water.
There isn’t any.
Say there is.
Exaggerate the prospects
for terraforming.
Tell us the weather is nice.
Or, that it will be.
Wish we were there.
Tell us so.
Invent a new word
for red.
Write it.
Make a...
you were on a
man handled carriage
studded with glimmering gold
shining like a sun
solemn in peace as i become
filled with the rooting vegetation of any
of the men that stare at you, blinding me,
staring at
the sun.
i,
causing the eclipse, you force your eyes to me.
you are a decoration for the populace
like a toy that comes
to life...
I remember.
I remember pacing around my room
interrogating you like a
suited lawyer interrogates a
guilty suspect sitting on that podium.
you.
you converse with the guilty, who are like you -
suddenly
mute.
I remember pontificating on the
stage of my room, on that
isolated, childhood
soapbox.
no longer am
i afraid of the...
