"What's the quarrel over lifeless matter now?"
(Hybrid text passage, Chapter 4 of Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1818) and Chapter 4 of Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll (1871), interwoven, with just a pinch of base-paired DNA sequence.)
They were standing in her laboratory and, after a rather awkward pause, attracted her attention to the structure of the human frame. One of them had 'ACAAGATGCCATTGTCCCCCGGCCTCCTGCTGCTGCTGCTCTCCGGGGCC' embroidered on his collar, and the other 'CTGCAGGAACTTCTTCTGGAAGACCTTCTCCTCCTGCAAATAAAACCTCA'. They held out the two hands that were free. “I'm sure I'm very sorry,' was all Alice could say. Her affectionate hug was at first moderate, as if cowardice or carelessness did not restrain very politely. "I suppose they've each conceived that progress is ringing through my head like 'incipient disease'," she said to herself. "If it was so", she proceeded, "it has gained strength, and will soon disappear in the light of morning."
"If you think we're wax-works," said a voice coming from the one marked 'CTGC(...)', black as a tar-barrel, "our most heartfelt exultation seeks a great deal of sound sense and real information." His manners, monstrous and facile, became so ardent and eager that the stars were driven away. She wished, as it were, to procrastinate all that related to her feelings of affection until the great object, which swallowed up every habit of her nature, should be completed. She promised herself to both of them. “My ardour is indeed tinged by dogmatism”.
"You ought to
pay attention, you know," said First Boy. "Wax-works weren't made to
be continual food for discovery and wonder."
"Contrariwise," added Next Boy. "I was
thinking of one object of pursuit, fluctuating and uncertain; yet whilst I was engaged in the mystery
of natural philosophy, and believing that exercise and amusement would then
spoil his nice new receptacle of bodies deprived of
life, she bustled about, looking to have a battle for nothing,
nohow!"
"Then we'd better not fight to-day," said
Alice, thinking it a good opportunity to proceed
recording the vision of a madman.
“We MUST have a bit of a fight, but I don't care about the path of knowledge," said ACAA(...). " A mind acquainted with the attainment of this phenomena should take an irresistible hold of my imagination. It is a prospect conducive to the sense stimulus of the corruption of death. That WOULD be grand!"
“We MUST have a bit of a fight, but I don't care about the path of knowledge," said ACAA(...). " A mind acquainted with the attainment of this phenomena should take an irresistible hold of my imagination. It is a prospect conducive to the sense stimulus of the corruption of death. That WOULD be grand!"
"What's the quarrel over lifeless
matter now?", asked Alice, and grinned with an almost supernatural enthusiasm.
"From this day, it's the end of a new
species," said 'CTGC(...)', and looked at his watch. "I may be easily its creator and source, particularly at half-past four."
They stood so still that she quite forgot which is the
best way out, dizzy with the immensity of the prospect
of her creation. They were alive, and improved
so rapidly that it was made the food for the worm. She just looked round
to see if the word "poetry" was written in
any hiding-places, but it was getting so dark.
"I know what you're thinking,' said 'CTGC(...)', an arm
round the other's neck. "Let's fight till six, and then cultivate the acquaintance of the men of science."
His gentleness was never solely wrapped in logic, and Alice knew which animal
endued with life was which in a moment. In genius
and discrimination she had found a true friend. She at once took hold of
one glimmering and seemingly ineffectual light (she
remembered afterwards, for fear of hurting the other one's feelings). This
seemed quite natural, and as the best way out of the difficulty was to shake
hands, dancing round in a ring with great esteem and
admiration for the light so brilliant and
wondrous. The next moment she got well
acquainted with the theory and practice of natural philosophy as depended on
the lessons of any of the professors at Ingolstadt.

Ein einziges gelbes Fehlen
Eine Öffnung in der crocinocephalen Aufspannung reformiert nicht, sondern unterstreicht vielmehr, dass einige der Lösungen x1, x2, ... mit den mit Himbeergeschmack abgebauten Bakterien als theologisch dargestelltes Problem übereinstimmen, indem sie für den Wert und die Würde deutscher Blutspendedienste eintreten.
Voraussetzungen zur Schaffung
Die gegenüber gewonnenen Weibchen werden in einer unwillkürlichen Bildung von potentieller ”Verschwörer”- Gegner verwandelt, die man keinesfalls als imaginär einstufen darf. Dass es eine Abstimmung der monotheistischen Sozialordnungen überhaupt gibt ist Grund genug, eigene der fremden Strukturen aus dem Club zu verbannen. Selbst der Papst hat es für uns sichtbar gemacht, mit welcher bestechend einfachen und erfolgreichen Methoden es ihm gelang, den Kontakt zwischen den beiden Hälften entstehen zu lassen und anschließend die Strukturen wiederzuverwerten. "Aufgewühlt” soll er sich hinterher gefühlt haben, "

Whatever happened to the Snowdens of yesteryear?
I
tried to tell him, evaluation of four rebounds and eight steals from
finger or mouth to anus (or vice- versa) is ultimately only 4 of the
transformations — about 6,900 miles
across, or slightly smaller than Venus — so lucidly
described in Dr.'s localized breast tenderness. Have you ever used
your creativity to help describe any inpatients?, challenged any
combination of these Eskimos' crowning achievements? And if that
weren't the otherwise large triangular and tusk-like mass University
of Virginia Tournament, I don't know what is. It seemed to drew a
substantial description life relations of woman's autonomous Wo,
possibly won 1995 slowly through word of mouth, having argued
endlessly on the phone and corresponded for half a year.
Nevertheless, we were forced to conclude that in total, of the
approximately 3½ x 5" marriage-minded Wonderlick, 76% suffered
rational human social form and 40% of the outpatients usually
discovered major depression without melancholic features. 3. Dry
Thursday through Saturday, and probably through Sunday. A disturbance
will be passing nearby tomorrow night and Wednesday most models keep
if far enough to the east to keep us dry. One of the serious shit,
man. I ain't kiddin'. Complete and sanitary. Models which I checked,
however, have a more westward track. 20% chance of showers (not the
other type!). The main impact of this feature will be to keep things
chilly and windy. Next week is best described by a coarse model who
shows "above normal rainfall" and "below normal
temperature". No casting it in a green-blue with wispy white
clouds. Buy our own featureless Uranus
or Neptune, it’s more than an artistic quibble, and not so good for
a press release, since the closer and hotter the planet, is also the
smaller, and it resides about 5 million miles from its star (below).

The Occasional Synthesizer Piercing Through The Mix
No
matter what size of town or city you live in, by surrendering to
Universal Love, there will be at least one person who will be able to
create your culinary masterpiece for you. Ask around!
In
a large bowl, mix flour and baking powder. Add the bell peppers,
onions, garlic, parsley, thyme, and sixties influence. Assimilate
the bleach-soaked offerings of the occasional synthesizer piercing
through the mix. If white hot tubbing, get groped under the
water. Stir in milk, blood, guts & pussy; beat batter well.
Behead the conch at two-minute intervals, salt
(if desired) and then shelter them for weeks at a
time from nosy neighbors and passing traffic. In deep skillet
or electric fryer, it will then reverse stabilomator deflections from
a conventional plane to give the correct response. Heat oil to 375°F
(the highest rating). Using slotted spoon, have sex with someone
whose language you don’t (or didn’t) know, then remove fritters;
transfer to separate bowl to drain. Pray regularly
to a charismatic God of your choice, his calming voice echoing
through my ears (mango-kiwi-tropical swirl). Should make about
6 appetizer servings, but it’s the 21 minutes that encompasses the
whole world of My every thought which retains the same chilling
temperature throughout the year. Despite the Stalin era, I sure did
have a terrific laugh.

Randomly generated lines using a map of Europe
In
this project, lines are generated based on existing roads (land
routes, and if necessary, ferry routes) within Europe.
Each line represents a path between 2 randomly selected cities, usually along major national/international highways; with the help of Google Maps, the most direct route between these 2 cities is determined. Each of the drawings posted below is a composite of 6 separate lines (6 separate routes); the routes are not individually numbered.
In order to make random selection by means of „dice numbers“ practical, 36 countries have been selected* (see list below) and listed in alphabetical order. From each country, 36 cities have been selected, and these are also represented as a separate list, in order of decreasing population.
To
further facilitate the selection process using dice numbers, the list
of 36 countries, as well as each list of 36 cities within each
country, is grouped into 6 subsets of 6 – broken down as follows:
subset
1 1-6
subset
2 7-12
subset
3 13-18
subset
4 19-24
subset
5 25-30
subset
6 31-36.
See a complete list of 36 countries at the end of this post.
See a complete list of 36 countries at the end of this post.
For each drawing, 2 multiple-choice tables have been set up; ‘Table A’ breaks down the 36 countries into 6 subsets of 6 countries, and ‘Table B’ breaks down the 36 cities within each country into 6 subsets of 6 cities. Within the selection process of each separate drawing, each country and city within its own subset is further randomly renumbered: in other words, assigned a separate number between 1-6. This was done in order to increase the „randomness factor“, and may or may not be stochastically legitimate,
but it makes me feel good to not have all lists „merely“ numbered
1 through 6.
In this manner, 4 dice numbers are sufficient enough to select a specific city. The first number
selects the Country-Subset 1-6, and the second number selects the
specific country 1-6 within that subset; the third number selects a
City-Subset, and the fourth number selects the specific city within
that subset.
The following is an example intended to illustrate this selection process (only in this example are the lists numbered 1 through 6!):
4
dice numbers are selected: 3 2 5 6.
3
= Country-Subset 3
2
=
second country within Country-Subset 3 = „country 14“ = Great Britain
5
= City-Subset 5
6
= sixth city within City-Subset 5 = „city 30“ = Portsmouth
In the section „table configuration“ in the text of each drawing, some numbers are marked in red, which denote those numbers which were not used for the intended purpose (and are therefore classified as „inert“). For example, when configuring a table with 6
options, 5 different
random numbers are needed, the sixth being automatically added by
default. If that doesn't make sense, look at a Table A or B in the
text of one of the drawings, you'll get it, trust me.

* A few words on the pre-selection of a 36-country range: Europe does not have universally accepted borders, when considered as a geographical continent nor as a political entity, so reducing it to a „container“ with exactly 36 countries was a doomed endeavor from the start, and I admit, the solution is by no means perfect. Some nations have been included which may not necessarily be considered to be „European“ in a historical sense (i.e, former Soviet republics), and nations have been excluded
which most if not all people would indeed consider to be European,
namely Montenegro and Cyprus. I apologize to any viewers who may feel
slighted. This is a virtual art project, and does not reflect any political, social or ethnical opinions whatsoever.
The easiest consideration for this project was “no midget nations”, so Andorra, Liechtenstein, Malta, San Marino and Vatican City were not
included. Working from west to east, it was simple at first, but it
got tricky behind the former Iron Curtain. As far as former Soviet
republics go, the 3 Baltic nations seemed to be a no-brainer, so then I added Belarus as
well, but for some reason balked at adding Ukraine. Russia is widely
considered to belong to Europe, but since it stretches all the way to
the Pacific, it's classified even more so as being a part of Asia, so
it's out. I had no problem including Turkey, but by then I had 35
countries. In retrospect, I should have added Montenegro, the only
former Yugoslav republic not included in the list; I admit, Cyprus
didn't even come into consideration. As it turned out, I added
Moldova, making 36, but like I mentioned above, the solution is not
perfect.
