mental: [PUPPET SHOW MANIFEST OF SHORT SORTS] patience for density:

My intentions* are multiple, impure, negative, and at war amongst themselves. I want to:
1) evoke rhizome-matrices, free associate;
2) incorporate aesthetic structure/anti-structure into a radical critique;
3) display an array of techniques and options implicitly infused with the forms and meanings polar and tropical to my own: no moderation;
4) destabilize established contexts and frameworks of meaning;
5) to foment, pose, shock-to-life, and draw discourses, both outside of the self in the immediate environment and permeating the barrier of the self;
6) establish a nihilist temple-order. i knew what i wanted to see. i did not see it, so i made it;
7) prey against the spectator/actor binary, that so-called audiences be generous enough to allow non-ideological situation: that is, that instead of assuming or enacting a particular perspective, we consider the array and begins conversations around the media and the content.

Glossary...
Of Guerrilla Street Theater: we can place ourselves in spheres of elite hyper-culture, feeding the already gluttonous regimes who authorize, review and permit categorical "art" in spaces immune to surprise, or we can work to evade and detourn those nations.  This is to pursue contexts of difference, to question and critique.

Of Puppets: they are a blur, confusing the real-unreal, the animate-inanimate, live-dead-recorded, characterized-archetypical, etc.

Of Total Improv: remember free jazz? It's just like free jazz beyond simple aurality. Or considering an expanded field of bodily-sculptural jazz.

Of Titling and Texts:  it is convenient to draw on the metaphor of a chalkboard semiotic - to consider the very fastening of signifiers to signifieds, the fabrication of meaning and reference as existing in a total free play with its contexts and anti-contexts, a loosely indexed world wherein a small word-phrase can effect a 270 or 540 degree roundabout in our mental locating, evaluating, and ideological self-situation alongside the parallel universes that surround the personal.
Simultaneously, it is critical that we realize the fundamental and pervasive linguistic and textual nature of our contexts, the false-cognitive authoritarian impositions of narrative we are constantly writing and reading.

Other items to itinerize and examine: Non-Reciprocation (as constant unexpectant giving), Anarcho*-[boolean referent].

"I don't get it" / "what are you doing?" : maybe that's ok / maybe you do / maybe your not getting it is your getting it / maybe you should stop trying to get it / is this a trick question?

*albeit it is too grandiose ever to consider or speak around intention: that intention is too vague and too loose a term to consider: that intention is always less-than-the-sum-of-the-parts anti-synergy: that it would be best to put intention under erasure in the derridean sense...
