I am working on my own piece of remix video and personal poetry so I watched Mark Amerika’s VJ Rabbi remix video for a third time. I am intrigued by the use of text. I am also intrigued by the content of the test. It seems very much like a manifesto or a personal piece of poetry, one without rhyme but with much meaning. I have wrote down the text in an attempt to understand it better. I also want to understand the relationship between the images and the text. Does the text change it’s meaning if you remove the images, or does it become more clear? If the text works as a stand alone piece of literary work are images just an illustration? Do the images without the text hold up as a narrative with a meaning? Does that meaning changes?
VJ Rabbi narration
by Mark America
But what about the Unreal?
With out the Unreal,
there is no Real.
His Moving Visual Thinking
Performs a narrative function.
This function is to improvise
a digital dreamwork always in process.
To become a theory-to-be.
Ad nauseum.
Add nausea.
Add museum.
[add musing...]
VJ Persona is an i.d. entity
forever in search of meaning
[add musing...]
He uses his hyperimprovisationally constructed
fictional memory as source material.
[add musing...]
This proactively constructed fictional memory
is performed as digital flux persona.
Does it happen in realtime?
Unrealtime?
U n r e a l time?
Without unrealtime,
there is no realtime.
How about timeless time?
Just-in-time?
For what?
The important thing is
to annihilate the important thing.
The important thing is a feeling.
The important thing is Losing Sight of Yourself
so you can find yourself again.
The important thing is to use experience
as base for knowledge-invention.
The important thing is to remix
digital flux persona.
The important thing is
to outthink premeditation.
The important thing is to proactively
situate the artificial intelligentsia
in the networked space
of performative flows
so as to prompt wild mutations
of bodily lust
just within reach of collective unconscious…

The elliptical nomad,
VJ persona,
IN the images?
Are they bio-images?
Do these images actually think?
Do they hallucinate other images?
What I say “this is VJ Persona,
streaming my digital flux identity,”
who is the “I” and
who is the “my”?
Whose story is it?
Machinic story on
machinic time?
Machinema.
Machinema.
Machinema.
My Life As A First Person
Digital Flux Persona.
A VJ theory-to-be.
What You See Is What You Get.
What You See Is What You Get.
What You Get Is Simultaneously
Cinematic and Pixilated.
What You Transgress
Is Video Art.
What You Pint Back To
Is Video Art.
What You Refrain From Repeating
Is Video Art.
What You Do IS
Change The Way You See.
What What You Steer Clear of
Is Conceptual Art.
What You Reinvent
Is Beauty As A Subliminal Force In Consciousness.
What You Avoid
Is Theorizing Your Practice To Death.
