Facts, effects
At the Siemens headquarters in Munich, they are working on something new. Rather than
strenuously maintaining an overview of tangled conveyor belts on the factory floor, you just attach
microphones around the space, and listen for the resonances of the metal frames holding
everything in place. With accurate measurements and deep knowledge of metals, you then simply
simulate everything, to know how it should sound when all is going as intended. If the hum is off,
something is out of whack. You build an operative image, and then measure reality against it. This
is nothing new, this is how buildings are erected, how the soccer ball stays within the field, and
this is how people know where to go in the morning.
This will not work. I’ve seen how things flattened to the thickness of a pancake will jump back into
their form, how coyotes only fall down once they notice there is nothing underfoot. I know it to be
true that you make a hole shaped like yourself when you run through a wall. You cannot measure
reality against an image because the image isn’t stable, it’s bendy and gooey, it changes when
you put it next to something new.
Still, an operative image can carve a hole in the ground, it can destabilise the global economy.
This may be important because the image, the narrative, is not arbitrary. Narratives seem to follow
recurring forms, stories retold will start to find a common rhythm. They sort the world, they make
sense of it. Cartoons follow the laws of physics unless it’s funnier otherwise. I find it very difficult
to meet the world without an image already in my head. I know the colours of the real, dusty
whites and streaks of bright orange. A blur between frames may mix in deep greens. Any
trembling of the hand of the videographer is an expression of emotion, a disclosure of themselves.
The reporter on site (who happens to also be named Donald, but bears no relation) grabs the
microphone. He is determined to report the events coolly, without imparting them with sentiment.
He strings words together, and at once the audience feel the quality of the light, and the
roughness of the air where he is. With each pause, with each Aa or O stating nothing but first-
hand truths, he creates a surplus. The bright glare from behind his teeth is tripled in the camera
lens. It pans away.

This right here is not weathered by time, it’s still sleek and chromelike. It’s held many different meanings to different people. If a plasma screen shows the same image for long enough, it burns in, it stays there, a VH1 logo in the corner-mounted tv at a grill joint. Here there is no such memory, things don’t stay around or leave marks, they just pass. Discourse relies on a shared frame of reference, you’d never speak anything in full, most things are already known. Even when I string vowels to form -honestly- fully original words, people relate them to the fall of some political figure, or the scene at this and that café in some central-european metropolis. Why would I be talking about that? I want to talk from where we are here now, I’ll shape a dog’s mouth with
my thumb and pointer, illustrate new ideas with old imagery. Ownership is transferred at the point of sale, lineage is traced through narrow streets and carved in vaulted church ceilings. What we both know might come from something untrue. That is, it’s easier to remember a story if it’s funny, and the world is big and boring.
