Like all my works it is a running process, searching for collaboration where ever possible. Personally i call it neo-cathedralic Creative R&D, referring to my 2004 re-installment of Kurt Schwitters' Kathedrale des erotischen Elends, a merzbau that in its current form takes both the virtual but very real network environment and the 'real' but often very fictional world as its natural, integrated habitat (cfr. the section about the Neue Kathedrale des erotischen Elends' ).</p><p>Agamben's Homo sacer series starts out[1] with a meticulous analysis of the State of Exception (other terms: 'state of emergency', 'martial law', '(under) siege'). Within each juridical system, he explains, there exists susch a provision whereby the sovereign power(s), in order to protect the future of the system itself are able to temporarily or spatially limited suspend the validity of the system itself and then proclaim the 'illegal' measures deemed necessary for the salvation of law and order. There is (was) no civil state without a state of exception build within it.</p><p>...</p></div></a1><br><div id="clickme16112012"><a href="http://nictoglobe.com/new/query2.html?d=articles&f=dv" target="_new'" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; background-color: transparent; float: right; "><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000">::: Read ::</font></a><br><br></div><a1 style="cursor: pointer; "><div><h5 style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; ">Amsterdam, Octobre 28 2012</h5><h1 style="background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">B I L D V E R B O T</h1><h2 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; ">Found in the <i>Computorah</i></h2><a href="http://nictoglobe.com/new/home/text2010-3.html" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; background-color: transparent; float: right; ">::: Read ::</a>Editorial<br>B I L D V E R B O T, from "Computorah"<p>These pictures were found in a book, <i>"Computorah, on hidden codes in the Torah, Dr. Moshe Katz, Jerusalem 1996"</i>.
