I continued to Scale the #Impossible, to mount The #PostReality #Show as a #broadcast of my life, to document my every move + #work_Flow in the #Bunker. At the height of this quest for a Digital #Phantasmagoria, I believed I could transform the properties of THE BROADCAST into a thing of Great Aesthetic Beauty. I had already experienced a dazzling #disorientation of the senses brought about by the rearrangement of pixels set loose.
But it was all an #illusion, or better yet an #hallucination, and all I could do in the face of such towering ambition and intensive exposure was to maintain my #Blog, scribbling notes that were mostly #incomprehensible, documenting each and every #delusional action, thought, idea, and impulse: everything in front of and for the #camera! #postreality #show
Brain Drain … an image from the #DouglasCopeland series: Slogans for the 21st Century... Pre-Internet Art may become the new post #postInternet reflection on critical nostalgia.

I had become a self-made #virus reaching for the #Ultimate #Fulfillment of a #delusional #Networked #Existence occupied by #realityTV stars, #glam culture, and media #hypsters.
I then realized I was no longer in #control: my life, my work, the #Show. I had entered into a #virtual #world of no escape chasing after the endless #FLOWs of #Media-on-Tap. #broadcast #transmission #video #vessel
Have I become just another #super-participant succumbing to a brave new world of #delusional #omniscient #telematic presence and social media #distribution? Was I being swallowed up by #curiosity and #obsession for #displacement and #timelessness chasing #illusions in the widening expanse of the Third Space?#bravenewworld #socialmedia #thirdspace
I discovered the Xcess of my ever-evolving, over-the-top #artistic #broadcast #fantasy &&& became mired in its Total #Complexity ::: #postreality #transmission #performance #telematic #presence
In the wake of #9/11, when no doubt we needed artists more than ever to confront those #perilous times, I created, shall we say, an “intimate bureaucracy,” my own #shadow #government agency, and transformed myself into the Secretary of the US Department of Art & Technology. #intimatebureaucracy #USDAT #politicalart
I became #intoxicated long ago by the MEDIA’s churning, a #Torrent of such #velocity + #intensity + #frenzy it has soaked my eyeballs & drowned my ears as I have entered into the #FLOW of the glorious splendor of the #Media-on-Tap. #postreality #information #mediatorrent
Because my #existence has been compressed to the #ever-present-present of #NOW, no longer having a past nor a future, I couldn’t possibly have foreseen this encroachment on #reality until it was too late, until I had become yet another cast member, a captive to the #machinations of THE #SHOW. – The Post Reality Show
