Criptic Critic Conscience and Known for it

Josef Koudelka








Leaving the Academy, I suppose I went.

I need some strong spells,
so completely distracted from duty
some tin foil wrapped around a corsage found winters later
Why wouldn't you try not working?
Whose brave enough?
We have enough cream
seeing everything the same.

This days weed tastes of cinnamon
and a forest after the rain,
I've taken to the out doors, cover
discarded for the thrill of the open sun.
the surf is juicy and the surfers are dumb.
My knee is still sore
and it may never heal
Child hood hero's go out , proud
As they always were


The Architecture of her bra lifts
thick folds of fat from her belly
to enclose fields like poppies
puppies sitting up begging to
be plucked like a marshmellow
into thy mouth as if it were
a stomach. the body snaps
has at half
a whole mouth.
Takes it in
a pellet at a time and yet my
scorn tells me that I'm in need of
feeding of feeling fed from it.
To love a breast is to crave
the softness from the sail, the billow
under a frozen sea where
homelessness could be lost for a second
and the heart beats out of control.

This is a scene from Big
Wednesday, it is wednesday - I
sit at the newly installed park
benches over the break, where
a lone surfer a waits in suit
a skater older than me chats
with a dork, He's legit a good skater,
but runs a skate shop. Other heroes
turn up in real suits and sun glasses,
Must be in real estate advertising
must be cause of the accent (wanker)
He's come with a slacker busy body,
a stunt doubles stand in and man
I'm pissed. But i remember I'm the
Bear from the beach house, i'm the
spirit of '62', I'm the notion of freedom,
freedom from being untrue, I look
like a dork but i'm the least dorky
speaking to me will reveal this
to be tru. But you surfer are
a wanabe and you're scared of
me, cause i see you, getting it
wrong, and enjoy it.

The youth have hardly changed, in
case they look exactly like as i did
in Youth I was a cad.  My Anti-
fashion was fashion, minimalism pop - threads
black, grey brown I don't wear blue
jeans, them's for slaves, where as I
see they do well that's not changed.
I feel so radical now
in the sun, Aperture open
Eye my little camera i have

Public witness statistician.
The odds of anyone remotely thinking
bout the data status of the life
before me, renders relevance through
the rafters before God that is a
mouse that leaks...

Surfers are still the ones who dare
movement,
A public body Acting strangely,
a stretch, a lie down,
a scan of the seas horizon,
lining up the seas shore
fat thrills and folly. Oh I'm sure
of that.
Only who'd want to look at
that body nearly naked now
either sports man or crew,
either he man or no man,
While wild man he got away.
wild mans body was his own, he
rate more that any woman. he'd
stand in silence buzz love a song so
heard by creation, god knelt. to
The tune maker, a life

Mobiles are clouds
do fractals, anti-kaleidoscopes 

A surfer learns a lot by watching others,
and deconstructing pictures, we think we are
our heros the gods of athletes

People grow more beautiful the more their
lives have been under threat.
A beautiful baby quick to pale, not so nice

Writing this poem I'm astonished at how

I looked at her
for a moment  she you could see was happy,
a cracked sunshine refracted intensely around
a bunch of mirror shards, against a wall

I sit and my beacon Red hat has her lost

The Disertation, By cambell Walker


The man who split the back of nature had a sense of humour. from Tao  Wells on Vimeo.


Notes on a film by Cambell.
First off let me note that i drew adown a bit from my little bong, my litte mambia the cobra of singing nettles, lightbulb, other wise here, forth know as, little monster. Takig pipe in
hand my macbook, (given to me by my rich, glamourous, beautiful cousin who lives on the corner of West 21sit ad 82nd st.) I notice full screen, that the quality of the medium he is shooting on is pureposefully dense, bright and rich, colours are pure intense and focused, This is post super realism people this is high definition, stop to think subtle sinificance of that shift, - (I can't Right no think, cause I am speeding, to get to my fanale) here with Cambell you are visiting the frame, you are the camera, you breathe, but you are a camera, you watch.. past the point of humanity... and that is cambells point, the visitor steps through the frame with contemplation, and extended gaze, a delay, in glass... illuminated illumination,  high definition.. is another point  )...  perhaps implying information age.. i dunno. I'm out of clasps) - The opening shot is masterful, the Narrsissit, Icarus, whose bailed from his assignment, the one given to him By the GOds,, -(Always his parents, you?) And then the most extroordinary thing happened, he actually proposes and then does the Big Shave by martin Scorese, the epic undergroud piece of kudos in the underworld of the art A-G (Avant-garde). - where he shaves - like Cambell - But scorese cuts up his face - Cuts it up. The ultimate edit. And i sit there realing the Genius - he's going to make me get up and leave because of the homosexual intimacy of privacy that by medium be is invading - erasing this fronteer by creating it in his own image - the boudary maker, Cambell Walker, And here is the Best part - I get up and leave  - knowing perfectly
That he would keep going, would become the warhol of film ad Empire my arse for nine hours - I would leave But the film would be left still Running - I would want to be in his presence while I visited the kitchen to watch the birds, which have infested this particular garden with an abandonment of uch wild animal status that my constant source of distraction is their meriment and its display in the trees, - I come back from visiting Bird land to find Cambel cutting himself up - wrist cheek, neck, I am Repulsed

By his war paint - where is his blues?
Red Reds not the colour, Red's
not a colour, Blood is Black,
BLACK I SCREAM AT YOU,
CAN'T YOU TELL THIS'S A TRick
THIS SNICKERY THIS IS ART
ALL ART IS THE ART OF THE
CONJOURER THe TRick of a
TRICKSTER, HEY You THis >
is what Reality looks like... oh.
Boy I took the Wefare train
of Reality to out hereness and
oh - you know what you get a
pretty lear view of the
fuckers who are the minority who
are pulling all the strings....

He washes his face again,
more moved on than whole
circle - maby it's the sho of the
platone window light, with
curtain thrown asunder,  Fading
Jingle theory of a perfect guitar
sendiment grinding off the emptyness
left by the intent intensity
of the ending......

Hey Cambell what do you think of that Review...

I have to go to the supermarket instead of KFC (I want their coleslaw) to get something real has to be sustainable, cafes are too expesive and there's no culture..

I have found
that by asking the same or similar
questions on the nature of existence,
that are asked by the Record of humanities illuminated select,
and by sourcing my authority in the same or similar
substance of a privileged experience; (and this experience being
comprised of nothing less than the existence of the question appearing simulateously with the linear quality of my response) -
I have by default made myself at odds with the way the world predominantly works.

Day light War

In Count down, Whanganui, some artist has put yellow lights in, rains down on the store like somethings wrong. As I enter to that familiar tune and the swivel of the head particular to my prostration, like everyone in the store knows each other and for a moment it's like "Hey, I know you well". Happily down an aisle I ask Laura not to dance, Why, she asks, Be cause it will kill me, I say.. The pressure is intense and then I'm spat out the end, check out.   

 A sunset is a recall, a declaration
I wonder if I'll ever see you again


The girls hair thick like a broom looks padded with glue her pasty white flesh a dimple as her shy german accent flattens her fragrant kiwi bolstering and I have to run away -  when I recognize in this sound the trapped human inside the crabs shell, serving me.


The sunset, a hole in which to 
see through to the center pole 

Outside I witness the broken command grind through a previous civilization kudos for age - the elder watches me with uncomfort, the way trapped prey looking down at you with a shot gun against your temple looks. Facing a customer that doesn't question her customs delivers endless joy - the kind an artist, artisan, technicrat, fascist dictator has for order. Everything agreeing - I photograph her and I see the daylight war, before me.

I'm Insane, medley; Dinosaur Jnr, followed by Dinosaur Jnr followed by Sonic Youth, followed by notes on Virileo's "Art and Fear"





I know Yer Insane

Everyone see to came
I use such restraint
Whats left around me
is there to me
Cant waalk with you

THis is overdue
and it spills from you
COme on out
Feel the pictures

As they warn you
Bottom out, it's good for you
it can be real
Nothing like a picture of you

Canot follow you along
So you have a ways to grow
Cannot follow you alone
Dreams are not themselves
Dreamt with out living it

Its har do tell
when the day begins
Its the evil twin
let it out.

Wrap te beat
around you endlessly
all doubt
has been good to me

you can't be this
nothing like i picture it
giving me a chill
nothing like i ppictures this...

I'm insane

If I ran away today
Will youpull me back tomorrow?
Took some time to arrange
With trust, space will follow
OUt to find the things you need
Your connections hard to swallow
Still things you tell me when
Your eyes track me down, keepin you hollow

Throat starts to drain
Ive done it way too may times to go away
Gone in a state, by my water
Can you bring it back to me
Will you follow?

And how'd you get away
If Iran away tomorrow?
Took some time to arrage
Your connections hard to swalow
I know youre somewhere, I'm insae
It's your needs onmy brain
Smack me out, our eyes exchage
TO have the strenth to stake my claim

Have you placed it?
I cant taste it
Will I waste it?
Cant trace it
Time to face it

NOw gonna go away

I know you're somewhere, I'm insane
Its your needs on my brain
Smack me out, move on with chage
TO have the strength to stake my claim
I know you're somewhere, I'm insane
Its your needs on my brain
Smack me out, move on with chage
TO have the strength to stake my claim

Consequently, Virilio questions a political correct­
ness that presupposes a terroristic, suicidal and self­
mutilating theory of art. Making links between
contemporary art and genetically modified seeds
bearing the label 'terminator', he is trying to find
an image of pitiful art that exists outside of the
conditions of bio- or 'necro-technology'. Refusing
technoscientific 'success' at any price, Virilio insists
on a cultural critique of scientific experiment,
technological inhumanity and deformity.

In our
day, however, the question according to Virilio is
whether the work of art is to be considered an object
that must be looked at or listened to. Or,
alternatively, given the reduction of the position of
the art lover to that of a component in the
multimedia academy's tybernetic machine, whether
the aesthetic and ethical silenc. e of art can continue
to be upheld.

Virilio is from time to time in
danger of staging a debate with only himself in
attendance.

What is absolutely vital for
Virilio is the technological means by which con-
temporary art has abandoned its passion and sexual
force. Conversely, it is important to stress that he is
undoubtedly concerned not to characterize con­
temporary art in opposition to theory or aesthetic
fervour, but to distinguish it as a pitiless and
emotionless reaction to the disastrous circumstances
of hypermodernity. As a result of such heartfelt
aesthetic declarations, Virilio is quick to single out
the hypersexuality of contemporary pornography as
the most recent source of pitiless representations and
sadistic ideas.

Virilio wants to recognize that in video
and film, TV and on the Internet, Auschwitz
inhabits us all as a fundamental if often repressed
component of contemporary processes of cultural
globalization. Today, as a result, art, according to
Virilio, confronts the predicament first identified by
Walter Benjamin, that is, of imagining that barbar­
ism and warfare will 'supply the artistic gratification
of a sense perception that has been changed by
technology'. In jeopardy of preoccupying itself with
virtualized self-absorption, contemporary art, Virilio
argues, as well as humanity, has attained such a
level of'self:'alienation' that it can now 'experience
its own destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the
first order,.9

This evening we are not going to talk about piety or
impiety but about pity, the pitiful or pitiless nature
of 'contemporary art'. So we will not be talking
about profane art versus sacred art but we may well
tackle the profanation of forms and bodies over the
course of the twentieth century. For these days when
people get down to debate the relevance or
awfulness of contemporary art, they generally forget
to ask one vital question: Contemporary art, sure, but
contempormy with what?

When I visited the Museum at AUSCHWITZ, I
stood in front of the display cases. What I saw
there were images from contemporary art and I
found that absolutely terrifying. Looking at the
exhibits of suitcases, prosthetics, children's toys, I
didn't feel frightened. I didn't collapse. I wasn't
completely overcome the way I had been walking
around the camp. No. In the Museum, I suddenly had
the impression I was in a museum if contemporary art. I
took the train back, telling myself that they had
won! They had won since they'd produced forms
of perception that are all ofa piece with the mode
of destruction they made their own. 1
What we will be asking this evening will thus take
up where Jacqueline Lichtenstein left off: did the
Nazi terror lose the ar but, in the end, win the
peace?

Whether Adorno likes it or not, the spectacle of
abjection remains the same, after as before Ausch­
witz. But it has become politically incorrect to say
so. All in the name of freedom of expression, a
freedom contemporary with the terrorist politics
Joseph Goebbels described as 'the art of making
possible what seemed impossible,.24

'When will the
Nuremburg Code be applied to medically assisted
procreation . . . to the attempts at creating a human
being?'

Ethics or aesthetics? That is indeed the question at
the dawn of the millennium. If freedom of
SCIENTIFIC expression now actually has no more
limits than freedom of ARTISTIC expression,
where will inhumanity end in future?

Sportspeople are managed by an entourage who
are under more and more pressure from the media
and their financial backers. If the current debate
isn't settled pretty .. swiftly, a person will only have
to ask in order to be programmed to win.
' The assembly-line champion is already Oil the drawing
board.

Ethical boundary, aesthetic boundary of sport as
of art. Without limits, there is no value; without
value, there is no esteem, no respect and especially
no pity: death to the riferee! You know how it goes . . .

SILENCE WAS PUT ON TRIAL in Europe as
in the United States. From that moment, WHO­
EVER SAYS NOTHING IS DEEMED TO
CONSENT. No silence can express disapproval
or resistance but only consent. The silence of the
image is not only ANIMATED by the motoriza­
tion of film segments; it is also ENLISTED in the
general acquiescence in a TOTAL ART the
seventh art which, they would then claim, con­
tained all the rest.

During the great economic crisis which, in
Europe, would end in Nazi TOTALITARIAN­
ISM, silence was already no more than a form of
abstention. The trend everywhere was towards the
simultaneous synchronization of image and sound.
Whence the major political role played at the time
by cinematic NEWSREELS, notably those pro­
duced by Fox-Movietone in the l)nited States and
by UF A in Germany, which perfectly prefigured
televisual prime time.

The speed of the
movements and the rapid change of images force
you to look continuously from one to the next.
Your sight does not master the pictures, it is the pictures
that master your sight. They flood your conscious­
ness. The cinema involves puttingyour eyes into uniform,
when bifore they were naked. '
'That is a terrible thing to say', Janouch said.
' The eye is the window of the soul, a Czech proverb
says.'
Kafka nodded. 'FILMS ARE IRON SHUT­TERS. ,8


Valeska Gert, the actress who starred in German filmmaker
G. W. Pabst's 1925 'street' film, Joyless Street:

my face up into a grimace of indignation one
minute, then quietly dance the next. By juxtapos­
ing insolence and sweetness, hardness and charm,
without any transition, I represented for the first
time something characteristic of our times:
instability. This was in 1917, towards the end of
the war. The Dadaists did the show as a matinee
in Berlin and the high point of the programme
was a race between a typewriter and a sewing
machine. George Grosz was the sewing machine.
