monkey chased the weasel

by: Tara gilbee

This work explores mantric and paranoic thought in reference to political de-personalisation through language. There is a regularity here and simple syncopy that has a small glitch, hardly detectable to the eye and perhaps escaping the auditory observation. It is the hiccup that is human, within systems that seemingly forget humanity, creating distances further from reality in purposeless exercises of political manouver. The absurdity of terms such as collateral damage, risk aversion etc ..... surfacing in the everday subsuming and disabling mental capacities. Try this at home: a> Cut and paste this text repeatively into a word document, in the edit section find the tool speech, go to 'start speaking' click and listen, can you pick the glitch. Its not that the computer does not recognise equal but that is an added concept. b> read the words repeatively from the screen or a sheet of paper, preferably in a monotone voice, can you keep up with the monotony or do your thoughts leap and flail around, then you loose your place. c> write the statement down on a piece of paper, then try and type it looking back and forward or even place it in front of you, try to type it without making one typing error, if you do leave them in and see how the document comes out. Then email me your typed piece (as a jpeg) mistakes and all.
