I ended my duo residency at the Wedding Cake House with a video promising to haunt the tower where I wrote, bird-watched and recorded the pigeon coos above.

On Thursday, 16 November 2023, I will be reading a portion of the forthcoming English translation of Michael Surya’s Dead End by Kit Schluter. The entire book will be read by the six of us together. Join us at Black Spring Books.
DEAD END (translated to English from French by Kit Schluter) is a sinuous pornographic work that forms a part of Michel Surya’s series of erotic books released in France over the past four decades. Drafted around 1985, rediscovered among the author’s papers in 2004, and revised in 2006, Dead End speaks with the cerebral starkness of a vanitas painting. Here, the limits of excess themselves are stifling, erotic immoderation no longer satisfies, and worldly anguish reveals itself as ever crueler, more evident. Developing a genre unto itself which might be termed “neurotica,” this flood of language—rawer with every unpunctuated breath—affirms and reaffirms the fear that we are beyond salvation. As full of vertiginous bravado and self-loathing as it is of sensual generosity and the genuine search for mutual pleasure, Dead End’s address of the beloved unspools with the devastating, nearly religious force of total confession. This translation by Kit Schluter, featuring a foreword by French poet Amandine André, marks the debut of Surya’s fiction in the English language.

This is a video syllabus for a new production course I'm teaching at Brown this semester titled, MCM 1701V The Cloud Beneath The Ground, Under Sea: Unearthing Virtual Infrastructures and Their Antecedents!
The focus is to create multimedia performance work while studying the physical infrastructure of the internet and its ancestors. The course will provide tangible information which dispels marketing myths of "The Cloud" and will foster a cooperative network of "digital artists" questioning what that term means and what impact it has on our lives.
Artists featured in this course trailer/video syllabus are: Ingrid Burrington Saul Williams & Anisia Uzeyman [Neptune Frost] George Dunbar Trevor Paglen Maurice Mbikayi myself but we will cover more!!
