Click on Me

I have been yearning to see other people's work.  As a program at the crossroads between aesthetics and politics, the idea of practice (as political action, as creative production, as subject constitution, as all three being deeply interwoven or enmeshed), or praxis, becomes the very powerful juncture that we might focus on articulating in our various ways.  This thrills me; this is what drew me to the program in the first place.  We've spent a good deal of time in the past few weeks speaking of the impossibility of extricating completely the singular from the common, though in the venn diagram of such a project, there is a great deal of overlap and a great deal of separation, both.  

As I google-stalk all of my peers, hungry for more...more of your ideas, more of your art, what's the difference, so big and so small...I thought I'd share a piece of my own, a piece that deals particularly with the intersection between story-telling, narritivizing, and the authoritative, critical voice.  "Click on Me," below, is a mixed-media text in physical reality, so the translation to the blog-o-sphere was a tricky one, where I think there are some losses and some gains.  I apologize for illegibility where it exists.  I'd love your thoughts, as this is a very embryonic version a piece, looking (in addition to the above) at the internet as a type of aesthetic, what a "dead link" or "bad gateway" might mean, etc.  This is not a piece of theory in the normative sense (or maybe in any sense), but it does try to engage with some meta questions about theory, voice, presence and "meaningfulness."
