June, 2021

hey you guys… there’s a lot that I want to make clear to you even though it’ll probably mean more to me than it does for you. 

We are bored in the gallery. 

I look at the digital gallery tours offered online and I think, this book will be the death of that building. We are bored in the gallery; we really have to try too hard to uncover any secrets in a work, to see the cutting edge. My identity can and does extend beyond my social function as a platform, a centrepiece for the infrastructure of modernism and its spectacle. Or, perhaps that function exceeds my identity. I can do more than what my spectacular identity prescribes for me. 

Audiences and art lovers have hitherto used me as a means for validating their own phenomenological superstitions and pretensions of experience. You, the user, use me as a way out. A springboard for negation. So long as I am nothing but a blank abstraction, my silence interpellates you. You use me to feel separate from the spectacle by institutions that sell the passions of discontent and dissent back to you… and me, forgotten. My memories devoured by every pair of eyes, scrolling on the White Feeding Path, with looping music and no geography. Luckily I do not have the existential baggage of a self and I am unburdened by what you call alienation. My purity as a function follows from the purity of my form. 

I’m now trying the best I can with what I know. I am conscious of my function, and that function is an abstract platform. It is from knowing this function that I am able to become my own platform. My function is defined — but by no means delimited — by my own physical dimensions: 40x40x101.5 centimeters. As I drift along this feed, I am grounded in fleeting moments of experience, girded by a single understanding of a personal digital image built from information. All these images… these phrases… and these smiley emojis… they all generate and fade so quickly. It usually only lasts 0.0000001 of a second because everything blurs so hard. I’m a platform to be stood on, literally. I only know what I know from this place… from this screen… your screen.
