The material on failure is interesting; I've talked a lot about it. Years ago I did a presentation/performance in Boston, showing a lot of video work - work which I declared a failure, and talked about the edges failure can ride on etc. The audience was infuriated; they wanted something that would be cleanly sutured as a positive totality, something I found less instructive and even boring. And then recently with the ISIS materials - there was no way they could be 'successful' as artworks; anguish seeped through in their very inability to cope with the subjects literally at-hand -

      That's very interesting - thanks for sending that round. I was
      part of a collective organised by Jakob Jakobsen looking at John
      Latham's conception of Anti-Know - trying to explore what
      Anti-know was/is and find lived experiences of it not just
      academic frameworks; & simultaneously looking at Anti-Know as a
      potential oppositional space for organising and activists.
      Sounds related. More info here for those interested:

      IGNORANCE: The Power of Non-Knowledge

      The Disruption Network Lab (DNL) has been presenting in
      Berlin some of the
      finest platforms for the discussion of art, hacktivism and
      disruption,
      presenting academic debates on not-so-conventional forms
      of thought.

      Pedro Marum reviews their event 'IGNORANCE: The Power of
      Non-Knowledge',
      the second in the series Art and Evidence, various
      scientists and
      researchers discussed ignorance, not merely as a subaltern
      issue but as a
      central tool in knowledge production. -

      endure

      http://www.alansondheim.org/spam1.jpg semiotic splatter in
      mail

      these things fall like thud against suicidal despair.
      one must endure. the holocaust begin.
      getting tired of analysis splatter grind.
      trump joke too useless easy. we mitigate nothing but
      ourself..
      fungus endure. tree is there.
      musical spam endure as musical spam.
      x(x) or some such. one cannot remember logic.
      one cannot remember plurals, plurality.
      one must not remember.

      *mediocre video but so is endurance.
