Genet once said
and art is Living. around the circles of its
creation, its creation which is indeed its credentials.
Genet once said he wanted his plays performed in a cemetery . So the dead would see them. And a community of the living and the dead is made and structured and what happens in art. It is a form of travel and emotion magically investing its images and identities in and with the dead. Art speaks to the dead and the living enter and exist the strange passages where shamans come and go. Among the dead and living the dialogue makes room for the unborn, and the future is a desire machine which hums with its song. On the net the dead and the living might just have a chance to get close - the net as seance space, as ouija board.
