Language needs a head no more, The robots will be the spokespersons.

Last voice tests, a series of vibrations that shape reality and words immediately fade out.

With a unique timbre, with a single refusal, in jerks and a block to make the air vibrate, shattering the language. As if the robots were going to drool over what one day we would have to tell them. They empty our chaotic language like an old oyster.

Various cryptic hints come out of the mouths of dead animals, like blooming in gravel. Shed light on this bizarre colourful history.

In the courtyard of their observatory ,cross tirelessly, solitary animals, stray birds, primitive exoduses and android sentries.

I discovered lately Riopelle work, at first I felt he was painting roughly like an aboriginal kid with straight willow branches, raw materials and colours like red, blue or soft bird feathers .

But my pilot eyes had the natural intuition that most of his work was cartographic painting. I searched some academic background to my theory but I could not find any. However by reading the exhibition book I found out that Riopelle did a lot of sea plane flying over north Canada, as I did myself, and I am pretty sure he was deeply influenced but that vision. His transition from colours to black and white comes from the very particular and fascinating flying north. He was able to access areas of the Canadian Arctic and subarctic seldom seen by anyone other than First Nations and Inuit people.

I recently saw Rafael Lozano-hemmer exhibition, untitled “unstable presence ” and I suddenly realized that the robots finally took power.

The Unfinished machines are the messengers of the future. For the punishment that we don’t speak to each other anymore, the rude and foul machines took possession of our desensitization.

But thanks to the robots trees became artificial ornementation for our thirst of virtual pornography.

Seasons shall be no more and violence of barren homes everywhere.

Empty Monasteries became their fitness rooms. And until exhaustion we will have to answer the robots idiotic and targeted questions. Digging our path to dematerialization. My glasses shall I need no more.

 

 

The AI’s anthropocentric machines make the puppeteer’s useful idiot smile before our unveiled bodies.

The corporeal communication will be confused with digital communication. Who needs carnality when we have Netflix ?

We will have to breathe recycled oxygen. Who needs fresh air when we have nanotechnology ? .

 

Robots now have our voice, the voice of a human being. Tomorrow, as a precaution, they will speak a language that will be untranslatable to us. Who needs a language when the world have lost its boundaries ?

Economists will be the new prophets for the robot messianic era. Algorithms, numbers and informational relations shall be the only religion.  Who needs insurrection, when we have abstraction ?

Today, I saw a fascinating exhibition  “The Library at Night” at the BanQ, directed by Robert Lepage. It is a 360° virtual exploration of 10 of the world’s most fascinating libraries. It was designed by the Ex Machina production company. Inspired by the essay of Alberto Manguel, the exhibition explores the philosophical architecture and social foundations on which all libraries rest.

Upton entering the exhibition, we step into a recreation of Manguel’s own library. Then we move to an immersive fores landscape that provides a sharp contrast to the rigorous order usually associated with temples of knowlege. Visitors then don headstes using 360° video immersion technology that take us from Sarajevo’s National Library to Mexico City’s Megabibliotheca, the stunning digital age Biblioteca Vasconcelos and from legendray city of Alexandira to the bottom of the sea aboard Captain’s Nemo Nautilus.

It was a wonderful Journey.
