William S. Burroughs

Hassan-i Sabbah / Jorge Luis Borges
'As above, so below'.
Hassan-i Sabbah.
'We shold invert our eyes and practice a sublime astronomy in the infinitude of our hearts, for which God was willing to die... If we see the Milky Way, it is because it is actually in our souls'.
'The pleasures of this world would be the torments of Hell, seen backwards, in a mirror'.
Jorge Luis Borges.
St Paul / Jean Baudrillard
'At present we do not see God, except as in a mirror and beneath dark images; but later we shall see him face to face. I only know him now imperfectly; but later I shall know him in a clear vision, in the same way that I know myself.'
St Paul
‘But what if God himself can be simulated, that is to say can be reduced to the signs that constitute faith? Then the whole system becomes weightless, it is no longer itself anything but a gigantic simulacrum, that is to say never exchanged for the real, but exchanged for itself, in an uninterrupted circuit without reference or circumference.’
Jean Baudrillard.
7 Pearls of Wisdom : Alejandro Jodorowsky
(quotes extraced from ‘La Constellation Jodorowsky’ (1994). Mouchet, L. Les Films Grain de Sable, 91 mins, (Video: DVD))
1. 'You only know who you are when you are dead. You cease to exist when you say 'this is what I am'. Definition is death.
2. 'I am a gambler, not an artist or mystic'.
3. 'The day I understand it, I will love it less'.
4. 'There is an enormous emotional catastrophe on the planet'.
5. 'With art, never work with people who don't need to earn money'.
6. ‘Eastern Enlightenment does not exist. We are all enlightened, we just don’t realize it. Nothing else is as important as the mystery of being alive.’
7. 'All our problems originate from the way we are born. The way we are born depends on the relationship between the mother and the father. The mother and fathers relationship depends on the relationship of theirs. All our ideas come from our great-grandparents. At least 15 people think through you at any time.'
Heidegger Headgear.

Differance means difference generally, then, in the sense of difference-in general. This is not only difficult to say; it's difficult to write. For in order to write differance I have to fight against the software I am using to write this, which has been programmed in such a way that differance registers only as a 'mistake' that has to be 'corrected'. No sooner have I written differance than it disappears, its place having been taken by difference. I then have to go back to difference (to where differance was) and change the 'e' to an 'a'. Every time I want to write differance I have to override the automatic software commands, or I have to write over what has been written into the program, a program that has been designed to 'process words'. Included in that design, clearly, is the recognition of what does not count as a 'word' - such as differance. In the same way mobile phones predict words as they are being typed. This reduces the attempt to write Heidegger, to Headgear. Hence the software I'm using is perfectly logocentric.

Marina Abramovic : Lisson Gallery
1. 'The concept of failure never enters my mind'.
2. ('the Artist is Present') 'a masseuse, personal trainer and nutritionist will visit her apartment before and after each day at work'.
"
The Yugoslavian self-proclaimed “grandmother of performance art” has been tearing up the scene since the ’70s. While her current work described above, “The Artist Is Present,” is blasting the center atrium of MoMA, a collection of her other work as big as Dolly Parton’s tits, presented through photograph, video, and live performance, is upstairs showing the world what a woman can really do. “The House with the Ocean View,” one of the showcased pieces, is one example of how tit-tacular Abramovic can be. For this work, performed in 2002, she climbed naked into a public three-platform stage where she remained without speaking or eating for 12 days. Following a strict regiment of sleeping, showering, and drinking water, she intended this art piece to be a full body and mind cleanse.
Abramovic is the epitome of all that is Lazertits. Next time you are bored, hungry, self-conscious, lonely, or in any kind of discomfort, think about Abramovic and “The House with the Ocean View.” And next time you have a free afternoon, go to MoMA and check out this blindingly Lazertits exhibition.

Budhanilkantha
Lord Vishnu, lying on Ananta Sesa, in the Cosmic Ocean. The deity of Budhanilkantha was lost for a while and was later rediscovered by a farmer. It is believed that the farmers struck the buried deity with his plough and that blood came out from the ground.
Sun Ra
'What I'm dealing with is so vast and great that it can't be called the truth. It's above the truth.'
'Space is not only high - but low. Its a bottomless pit.'
'I'm playing dark history. It's beyond black. I'm dealing with the dark things of the cosmos. '
