usaw it ona blog called

quasar luxury

it had lotsand lotsof likesand reblogs

but u followedthe blog

b/c the sailboat was pretty cool

seemed like something you might want toincorporate into yr personal aesthetic

it was unclearwherethe sailboathad come from

a sort oftransluscent film

reflecting yr inner selfwithout completely obscuring it


4/12

there was a linkon the blog

to a twitter page called Blackhole Satin

(there was no name, unless Blackhole Satin was a name

#infinitewindows was striking to youb/c it suggested both a multiplicity of perspectives

(freedom) /// (possibility) /// (anopening)but also a reflexive and narcissistic hyperstasis

(collapse) /// (dissolution) ///sta nation

thehashtag

(youknew)

signals a collectivizationanabsorption into a memetic collective

Infintite reflection into the periscopic hall of mirrors

into which we cast our eternal disembodied gazeso u did not click thru #infinitewindows, fearful youwould fall

into

a fun - house/wormhole

the #infinitewindows

seemed like something

an artist might

make art about

or a philosopher

might philosophize on

but when itreally

came down toit

still, u were careful not togive the notion too muchpower

and the artist/philosopher would have created it, so they could destroy it too

and moreimportantly

did it fit yr

personal aestheticluxury certainly didnt seem very cool

seemed like a word that would describe a nice wristwatchor a car, but not anything having to do with space

but space was pretty cool

and the words in combination with one another certainly had some promising aesthetic

some weeks went bywith little change in yr personal aesthetic///senseof self

with its dual threat/promise of#infinitewindowsand its vague suggestion of a new sonicaesthetic

had not, as you had feared, fixed the lens of yr minds eye

on a mirror condemned you to the same fate as

Narcissus staring into the pool

so u clicked the link

but one day you checked yr twitterand there was

this:


8/12

it was then that you laughedor rather, you remained silent,

but it was then that you might have laughedbecause as you clicked thru the linkanother window sprung openand you recalled the hashtagwere you doomedin your passive and inconsequential yetundeniable interestin blackholesatinand interstellar luxuryand quasars

and infinite windows

to be implicated in the perpetual,vacuusand ultimately

erection of an infinite slew of transparent membra

a billion shiny andattractive

but inconsequential films

layered endlessly upon one another

but never adding up toanything besides

sheen

passivity

so this was whatthe aural

worlds

of luxuryand space

had combinedto make?


10/12

it was as if, in that moment, the disparate worlds governed by space and luxu

collapsed entirely and in their implosion spawned a swirling semiotic black hole,which whirled images (rendered in your brain like half- remembered faces) of diwatches, lumbering SUVs, sailboats, and mariah carey, along with the celestialdust, and plasma that comprised your tenuous grasp of the concept of outer sp

words no longer evoked images or sounds, and sounds no longer madeyou think of

images and words, and images no longer conjured up linguisticassociations, or echoes of asubterranean aural stream. the three realms chaotically spun togetherand divorced from the mechanisms of your increasingly immaterial brain.you suddenly realized that it was not worth asking whether the world wasan infinite succession of indistinguishably reflexive and translucent

windows looking into one anotherthat the real question was in
