asymmetry of rhythm, total change of rhythm. Cyberpunk speculations are already techno-economic infrastructure: contemporary social reality condenses out of the future rather than developing from the past. How could anything other than a fiction any longer be true?

In the electronically mediated sonic environment that is the telephone conversation many of the normal cues exchanged in a face to face conversation are missing or altered.

Software: Designers are using the same tools, which exert the same unconscious forces on their creative process.

The Internet: Aesthetic diversity is bound to fall in such a hyper-connected world.]

Last March, after Goldsmith read a slightly altered version of Michael Brown’s autopsy report, ending with the line, “the remaining male genitalia system is unremarkable,” the poetry community fired back about Goldsmith’s crass appropriation of Brown’s body. Wilkinson was now writing a profile of Goldsmith and, having heard from Goldsmith that I was unhappy about the stunt, he wanted to talk to me about my response to it. I told him I didn’t want to take part in a flattering—yet intelligently ambivalent—profile of Goldsmith that would further burnish his reputation as just another glorified yet misunderstood white male artist.

“I took a publicly available document from an American tragedy that was witnessed first-hand (in this case by the doctor performing the autopsy) and simply read it. Like Seven American Deaths and Disasters, I did not editorialize; I simply read it without commentary or additional editorializing,”

A sledgehammer is a tool with a large, flat, often metal head, attached to a long handle. The long handle combined with a heavy head allows the sledgehammer to gather momentum during a swing and apply a large force compared to hammers designed to drive nails. Along with the mallet, it shares the ability to distribute force over a wide area. This is in contrast to other types of hammers, which concentrate force in a relatively small area.
