1. Volition
Liberate, de-liberate.
rethink, recommunicate
we, the privileged,
owners of the cultural structures
we are about to learn to hear once again
the deprived
the prisioners
the unhappy ones
the insane, and...
the animals
these children
whose language we do not understand
whose nature we despise
2. Ritual
Mediatic ritual and transformation
from cross-cultural communication
from cross-specimen communication.
Decree, plead, prayer and word
I decree
that from this irradiating knot,
the most radical form of art
is to be sent
an art
that inevitably connects
forms of life,
imagination,
the scientific landscape
and emerging forms of mediatic culture
A persistent, urgent, art
strong
like an animal's scream
Now I imagine and determine
that from this chamber of presence
reverberates
the sobbing,
the breathing
the suffering
from those deprived
of our power
let's think together today
about which direction to take
let's abandon sure ground
before the incision
we shall not be silent
we shall investigate to the end
our past
our attitudes and their consequences
3. Fiction
Animals and men
physically and psycologically controlled
