Intimate Statement
I believe in intimacy, individualism, emotions, frustrations, traumas, artificial, communication, impossibility, mobility, montage, radicality, sensibility, silence, strategy, tactics, tears, orgasm, concept, pleasure, fantasies, philosophy, transfer, utopia and angels.
I do not believe in media, tourism and the end.
[Art is a dirty job, but somebody's got to do it]
Wasn't it in the idea of the code, which lives solely from a person's projection, and which despite its boundless submissiveness remains exasperatingly withdrawn upon itself, that one might find what the imagination seeks in desire and heightened transport? Surrender yourselves to the ascetic, renounce all wordly things. Abandon yourselves into the arms of passion. Code, love and passion are very closely related, because they all hinge more or less on realisation of strategy in some form or other, or in its pleasure-taking. And the intoxication is exquisite - it is not true, my love? Code is never chaste, one should keep all innocent buffoons steered well away. People who are not prepared well enough for code should never be allowed near it. Yes, code is dangerous. If it's chaste, it's not art.
