OBSERVATION:
Multi-screen viewing is seemingly anticipated by Burrough’s cut-up technique. He suggested re-arranging words and images to evade rational analysis, allowing subliminal hints of the future to leak through… an impending world of exotica, glimpsed only peripherally.
Perceptually, this simultaneous input engages me like the kinetic equivalent of an abstract or impressionist painting… phosphor-dot swirls juxtapose; meanings coalesce from semiotic chaos before reverting to incoherence. Transient and elusive, these must be grasped quickly:
Computer animations imbue even breakfast cereals with an hallucinogenic futurity; music channels process information-blips, avoiding linear presentation, implying, limitless personal choice… these reference points established, an emergent worldview becomes gradually discernible amidst the media’s white noise.
This jigsaw-fragment model of tomorrow aligns itself piece by piece, specific areas necessarily obscured by indeterminacy. However, broad assumptions regarding this postulated future may be drawn. We can imagine its ambience. We can hypothesize its psychology.
In conjunction with massive forecasted technological acceleration approaching the millenium, this oblique and shifting cathode mosaic uncovers the blueprint for an era of new sensations and possibilities. An era of the conceivable made concrete… and of the casually miraculous.
