This American Dollhouse: Progress, 2023

"Progress is of course about progress but also the human problem with it, the mistaking of progress with problem. Where we live buildings are going up everywhere, the gentrification of the gentrification. It felt right and exciting to question progress from this building, another dollhouse / toy apartment. It’s very material based, most of the structure’s materials are used in real construction–wood, cement, metal etc. It reminded us of how jobs are built into toys, a child being programmed for adult life."

The end to be continued because of money is stupid growth is good is good is stupid dominance is stupid is stupid more of the same because of membership and fear is common. Eating plastic and reeking havoc. Calling the educated the elite is wrong calling the uneducated uneducated is wrong the brainless elite might just not care. Skin and genital superiority is toxic mythology with real people in it. Receive with grace the stupid

say when someone dies. Joyfully face the harsh limitations of life by taking advantage of a real experience now and then. Fatalism is a weak anecdote. Police for crime is a complicated medicine systematic mistreatment of animals is called agriculture. The vitality generality is in the specifics. We have to be in history as if time wasnt hard enough. There is no one history. In this world we do not understand there are also multiple truths

People are made of motley. All people remember and forget in between what is available as a story and what is imagined. Notice the instability of meaning and revise your dream of evil hell is the production of results opinions appropriate a strength and supremacy we do not possess. Propaganda of process slams useful tool. Its all about change get inside change and tend to your garden climate changed too. Righteous indignation is just content. On the same roads

the old ways are tumbling down. Its only a charade if you dont believe it generalized blame of a situation of vastly uneven making and suffering. Equality and inclusion not just in slasher genre. More levity not just conduit of horror isolating writing isolating growing up on the death starworld building is huge but it all fits together. Being the best is disgusting if your not. Skill looks like progress. Fate is mistaken for progress too. The illusion of

permance the house provided felt real. Standards of cultural morality shifting beneath your feet. Listen to concision in lots of mistakes. Sex drive, intoxication meals, spring. Nihilism is no heaven without heaven substitute. Blood and soul nostalgia fatherland for angry little nationalists the left behind people devalued economic social political industrial by progress not forward or back forever. Swarming opportunistic population of the same hue historians writing histories hiding

vanity in what happened, a trojan horse snoring history is a lie connected by action. Action is the movement of memory in search of a make believe home. Repertoire is the zombification of passion. Extremism is a value judgment. Polarization begets polarization. Community of righteousness asks you to coat check parts of yourself. A nation of media niches how can you hate/love a whole country. All nations are built on stories. Stories about ideas making values on which people stake their identities. Tell

ourselves stories about ourselves and our societies problems. The system is broken is a cliche. Law is ideology presented as nature. Myth is a hairless continent. The phantom objectivity of capitalist culture. The phantom of the genre. Past banished individuals, things, ideas. Nothing gone was never here is dumb. Not popular is not common. Listen to concision in lots of mistakes but that you feel something to be right might have something to with what you are told. Zeitgeist cookbook, this dated conflict. Spirit of improvement
doing laps in the reducing aperture of days. Music holds it all together is easy for Prince to say. Every week a new artist compared to him. Catalogues of unabashed gratitudes, books of the past and future current bias ostracizing the present okay change is always happening put it in a frame and call it a movement. The worlds on fire less today, getting a registry for a baby shower. New wood is old wood rediscovered, paper is the new vinyl, space is the place Sun Ra says. The truth doesnt do people

good, got to find some truth thats profitable to you progress is not something the world is selling easily can feel like. Freedom is destruction plus movement, movement is memory in action in search of a make believe home a ghost of an emerging idea, more nothing saying something, clever something barley anything, memory is not. People, memory is fallible and Photoshop exists too. The illusion of permance the house provided felt real the meaningful carries obligation with obligation

comes consequences. The meanace is in the capriciousness of futile existence, putting a bandage on a missing limb, anti surveillance fashion clever something barely anything memory is not people, memory is fallible and Photoshop exists too. Danger linger is not mystery danger decorating decoration not construction. An index of oppressions and who/what oppressors are danger. The spider web of hidden fees of our oppressors, the sack of the wind of the world danger construction zone of un-

reliable site for feeding and washing, danger misfortune is motion and a story must move, danger construction zone, strong and dedicated is not enough and being better is easier with destruction, professionalism, lie of hard work, cult of individuality for your company. If you go wrong for long enough, you’ll end where you should. Little kids at our concerts is new for the B52’s. Reality is something we agree upon where lines in the sand concede and increase and walls enforce

one another. The truth will set you free but it will cost you, absurd is a loose thread. You can keep on pulling, the sadness you miss that makes you want to be tied up, a ritual response to trauma, dysfunctional safety of habits, identity is neurotic activity home now house where we come from and carry around, the pathology of place looking out your random window at different traffic, find a place to trust and trust it for a while, open your eyes and see what you can before you close

them forever, cultivate your garden, not borrowed against the moment but invested in it, we need very little order to protect us from chaos, we solve our problems just enough. Things only change when there is crises, new things are made out of whats at hand, dysfunctional ritual response to trauma, reapting and confirming survival while life slips away, theres no such thing as safety when your alive, expansion, exploitation, accumulation and looting within the lines of the law, interior define chew other peoples fruit

get better at what you do get less success. If a pier is sad bridge a moat is no apology, fortress of honesty is a toilet roll, success is a bigger toilet. Dreaded regiment of maintenance and control. Living year after year on your fast burning hopes growing older and more obscure everyday. Grief is natural, its like to adstalls. All mourning is the same thing in the fiction of linear time. Pre Enlightenment people were buzzed all the time, clean water, literacy, penicillin, the printing press. Become what you are after h

aving learnt what that is that mom was batman and everyone else was joker, dada is daddy, older brother and a shopping bag of you’s sticking it to the man with a dead fly, global desk lamp, a zoom with a view, a zoom of ones own, models of reality we’ve made up, we live in a mental model of reality and this is the base of our rational understanding of the world. All models are smaller simplified versions of the things theyre built to represent, they will never exactly match each other living

inside our models can be so seductively convincing. We are easily confused and lost. The mad is not the territory. The menu is not the meal. We live in a world of ideas. All ideas are real. They are real ideas. Fashion is the most tired thing there is. Extreme fatigue, desired catastrophe, death drive is wanting to go home, growing numbers, lives on insecurity and precocity debate where you temporarily stand, felt complexity, life can be productively incomplete, the essence

of reality is reference, a telescope to clearer see what we cant comprehend, robots to sack mom, better snacks but still in bodegos, early man movies fictional or otherwise, a violent foot race, abortion female protestors, a medieval church filled with farts, lifes a bad montage, montage is conflict classical music bunker. Line outside

hideout, each generation wants the next to have better choices but life gets in the way, home is gross its all about genitals, a bag of bones tells us nothing about disappearance a bag of bones is not justice a bag of bones knowledge without acknowledgement the sacramental transformation or into publicly sanctioned truth, a bag of bones only aims to

aims to eliminate historical memory and public memorials in a context where death is a supreme eradicate any meaning that death might have in society instance of national sovereignty. The false reconciliation that national sponsored grieving for the dead and for burying the terrible past promised. We have to also live in history as if time wasnt enough. Much

story who we are past banished individuals, things, ideas. Because the past always haunts the presents, marginalized excluded or represented poorly, slavery and racism. Haunting is a mediation, subjectivity is haunted by the social especially repressions disappearances absences losses enforced by the conditions of modern life, ghosts are phones, graveyard of technology

bonfire of history we claim our labors are to build a heaven. Yet our heavens are populated with horrors. Look to the sea economically through democratic passages the elite and corporate interests, what is beautiful is too undemocratic to mention specifically finnacial. Taking from the commons to make huge profits away from the commons insecurity

and precocity growing numbers the privatization of numerous areas growth maximum absurd is a loose thread you can keep on pulling the news is a plot less disaster movie, the key to key to fictitious terroris partisans and containment, another film where the world is the bates motel, uncanny experiences and the haunted homes the yare, frighte

pating the end of the world is humanities oldest hobby dont worry how much your grocerys cost, most dystopias endup in the bargin bin, arbitrary ranking system display. The only thing that will remain of our passage is what we write record and film, consuming, competing the idea of book metaphor, a transcendence of begining

collapsed into closure, the iliad by homer in a nutshell the end and then we went to live in a haunted house the closure of the book is an illusion created by its materiality in film humans are hard wired for magical thinking game changes new precious resources, a gold record of extinguished species alarms with fire drills global news podcast we
