3:The Indominable Gaze of the Other
The cartel looks to replace the male gaze of the movies with the Nietzschean void's famous stare-back.
2: The Indomitable Gaze of the Other
The cartel travels into the near-far to find new technologies of remapping the body, so that it might manifest the invisible rather than merely make visible.
The Indomitable Gaze of the Other
The visible is foregrounded by an obscured background, so that revealing relies on what can't be seen for its presentation. But can the darkness appear in its invisibility without reducing it to the merely visible?

2: Dreams and a Sense of the Sacred
Are dreams for prediction machines to process information and rehearse for possible future scenarios? Or is there evidence that they may be for something more?
1. Dreams and a Sense of the Sacred
The most direct road to the lost sacred is through the fucked up landscape of dreams. Shifting through this nighttime trash is to enjoy the warped detritus of the Real.
Desire is a Demon
A conversation about demonology as the study of what speaks from within me more than me that my friend James turned into a dub techno sermon.
