    Modernism: where we need to return or what we need to leave behind?

    a couple days ago a friend/colleague submitted an essay for the journal called "A New Form of Art for the 21st Century," which is about "crime scene-as-art," and focuses on "posers": serial killers who pose their victims in weird/artistic ways for the crime scene photographs (or forensic...

    Modernism: where we need to return or what we need to leave behind?

    burroughs wrote a book/screenplay based on the police transcript - he uses the cut up technique to give the words new meanings, and rearranges/embellishes it with surreal narratives. That's why i posted it here - i think this is one of the first modernist "found poems" - it is comparable to...

    Modernism: where we need to return or what we need to leave behind?

    a friend of mine provided some additional notes on the BD murder: the BD murder sounds like a Mafia job. I think Hodel had an accomplice in the Mafia (and other crime groups - he trafficked drugs at one point) but I can't remember the other guy's name. My guess is that he is the one...

    Modernism: where we need to return or what we need to leave behind?

    i haven't seen that actually - i remember the previews, i think josh hartnett and maybe scarlett johansen (sp) are in it. de palma is a great director. ofc i loved Scarface and Carlito's Way. it would be interesting to see how he handles the crime-noir genre. if i were making the film, it...

    RIP to another legend.

    i watched an interview with Asheton a few weeks ago. He was with Iggy Pop and someone else from the Stooges. I guess the Stooges got back together recently. He was talking about how he smoked spider webs with Iggy one night while they were waiting for cocaine/heroin iirc. really excellent guitarist.

    Modernism: where we need to return or what we need to leave behind?

    "Just got a book called We Have Never Been Modern by Bruno Latour" i hear that's a good one. the book i'm reading now is worth checking out as well. It's called "Given: One Degree Art, 2 Degrees Crime". Not sure if i mentioned it before. Jean-Michel Rabate is one of the leading Lacanian...
