illicit images

Where is the art in surveillance?
It is lurking in the shadows.
It is hidden in the gray areas.
It is echoed by an unheard whisper.
It is illuminated by intent.

MEMORIAL NIGHT
  An information war is being waged.
It is an economic and territorial war
between power and servitude,
between have and have not,
between knowledge and confusion.
Cloaked in deception,
it is waged by a vested interest
in negative entropy;
fueled by a thermodynamic lie.

This is not the Nuclear Age.
This is not the Information Age.
This is the ESP-ION-AGE.

The energy of the universe
is moving towards increased disorder.
Order is difficult to produce.
It therefore has increasing value.
Chaos is the easiest,
most predictable, most probable state.
It lasts indefinitely.
In economic terms,
producing an orderly process
may be unreasonably expensive.

 If it is not matter,
it is information.

If it matters,
it is knowledge.

If it does not matter,
it is noise

   Free radicals may be strange attractors.
A deception is being perpetrated.
It is not an overt deception.
It is not a covert deception.
It is the evolution of misconception.

SURPRISE
   Truths can be stated simply.
The body of knowledge
speaks with rhythmic grace
when moved by inspiration.

SLEEPING CHILD
  The artist is a spy,
an agent of entropy,
covertly intruding upon secret worlds,
illicitly stealing the private moment.
A techno-deviate,
cultural provocateur,
he is the trickster
at large in the information society.
