Like A Black Fire

This work was largely begun on the premises of the opening French paragraph, having to do with the human animal, ＂dark＂, erudite but not necessarily rational, and its vulnerability to the vicissitudes of fortune. It has partially to do with digital estrangement from the conditions of nature. It is a dark and brooding thing, very Old World in most of its aesthetics, but premised in the context of the digital media. This is a bit ＂decadent＂, having no genre in mind, having no political or otherwise paradigm keeping it doctrinally ordered. The linguistic aspects took on lives of their own, aside from any ＂self-expressive＂ impetus behind the work.
