CIVIL WAR By SANTO
“I’ll admit my understanding of post-modernism is probably flawed, but if I’ve learned anything from McLuhan it’s that our world has been amplified and accelerated to the point that the elements of culture like music, fashion and art have become debased from their roots in the previous century. Mondrian and Banksy are both painters, right? Girl Talk and John Cage are both musicians, right?”
One of SANTO favorites
Unique Forms of Continuity in Space - Umberto Boccioni, 1913

“Secrets have power. And that power diminishes when they are shared, so they are best kept and kept well. Sharing secrets, real secrets, important ones, with even one other person, will change them. Writing them down is worse, because who can tell how many eyes might see them inscribed on paper, no matter how careful you might be with it. So it’s really best to keep your secrets when you have them, for their own good, as well as yours.”
—Erin Morgenstern (The Night Circus)

QUESTION EVERYTHING by SANTO at Museo Evita
Vanished with all marks for motion
Ackward Angel’s lost devotion
One by one escort us home
To leave the elementors free to round to
Bath in the last of oceans foam
To beach comb
The nuclear debris of plastic toys
And a meadow trees on the perfect day you’ll find the breeze once
Blew the pollen, the feed the me’s
Now cried the stars when upon the earth
Their gaze might rush, their nostalgia burst
Elements be heard through all the cosmos
For the dying planet with fallen foes
Entonces tuve un momento de extraordinaria lucidez, en el cual abarqué con la mirada el camino seguido hasta allí. Pensé: ahora posees la clave de la mitología y tienes posibilidad de abrir entonces todas las puertas que dan a la psiquis humana inconsciente. Pero entonces alguien susurró en mí: «¿Por qué abrir todas las puertas?». Surgió entonces la cuestión de qué era lo que yo había logrado hasta entonces. Había explicado los mitos de los pueblos primitivos, había escrito un libro sobre los héroes, sobre el mito en el que desde siempre vive el hombre. «Pero, ¿en qué mito vive el hombre de hoy?». «En el mito cristiano, podría decirse». «¿Vives tú en él?», me preguntaba. Si debo ser sincero, no. No es el mito en el que yo vivo. «¿Entonces ya no tenemos mito?». «No, al parecer ya no tenemos mito». «¿Pero cuál es, pues, tu mito, el mito en que tú vives?». Entonces me sentí a disgusto y dejé de pensar. Había llegado al límite.
“Once the wave function collapses, there is a subject-object split: now “I” am looking at “a thing.” But before the subject-object split, reality is one infinite entity. It must be that way if all possibilities are contained in it.”
—Deepak Chopra, Leonard Mlodinow, War of the Worldviews: Science Vs. Spirituality
“The unexpected part of the news is that the conscious you is the smallest bit-player in the brain. It is something like a young monarch who inherits the throne and takes credit for the glory of the country—without ever being aware of the millions of workers who keep the place running.”
—David Eagleman, Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain

Some believe in existence.
Others believe nothing exists.
Rare is the one who believes nothing
And is never confused
We have to stop CONSUMING our culture. We have to CREATE culture. DON’T watch TV, DON’T read magazines, don’t even listen to NPR. Create your OWN roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are — NOW — is the most immediate sector of your universe. And if you’re worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered. You’re giving it all away to ICONS. Icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that, you want to dress like X or have lips like Y… This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion. What is real is you, and your friends, your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And, we are told No, you’re unimportant, you’re peripheral — get a degree, get a job, get a this, get that, and then you’re a player. You don’t even want to play that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world
