The wave is simultaneously distinct from the ocean and a part of it. A part and apart. The piece and the whole. Constituency and contingency. The difference that makes a difference and those that don't. Loop. Stella. Please call Stella. Tell me where accents come from. And more than just that they come from places. The morass of sound and image and data from which language emerges, from which the crisis emerges. Please call Stella. The wave is simultaneously distinct from the ocean and a part of it.

How to have your / own television show! / (you already do)

Jesse Malmed

An unreliable narrator details how to deliver people in the age of surveillance from within and without, a how-to for lateral minds, a hippie family sitcommune set to a bootleg of Peter Hutton's Florence, a drearily rousing theme song as gps-to-mp3 directions out to the country.

WREADING

Jesse Malmed

Reading as writing. A romp through meaning-making and diffuse divination. The clouds hold secrets. Tuli Kupferberg is not the beluga, but the beluga sings human. Charles Bernstein. The world is a word is a world. Cloud covers.
