“Why do we blog in a world dominated by platforms? Where if we want anyone to read what we write there’s some compromise to be made with the platforms everyone seems to be standing on, milling about, sharing news, pictures, gossip—but of course everyone knows it’s the platforms standing on everyone because everyone supports the platforms or else the platforms would collapse? Which makes finding a “platform,” as in something to stand on, on these platforms, inaccessible? Everything pressed and kneaded into form for content dull gazes roaming the spectacle? What used to mean something? Is there anything to reach out and touch still? Has there ever been? Signs behind signs, a fun house holographic maze slithering jagged paths of intersectarian double crossings. Cast into the thrumming horror of pitch black, beating in time, when pupils dilate round enough to birth tiny globes—is it out there, or from within, in our hearts and minds? Perhaps you’ve heard of Zen Master Dogen’s Moonlight in a Dew Drop, my ecoindustrial noise project? If so, check out my other Bandcamp – Publisher’s Weekly (Starred Review)” – Michio Kaku
