Denouncement

Denouncing the previous posts on this blog. New posts coming soon. im so ruthlessly commited to Dialectics that i am constantly at war with the person i was two days ago, who is a clown and a coward — zmora z telewizora (@unhaunting) May 22, 2014 Advertisements

Fantasies of Solidarity

Recently I watched the film “Terminator Salvation” because I’m a masochist and more importantly because I half-remembered seeing it mentioned favorably in a kpunk post. Or maybe it was another Terminator movie. As bored and annoyed as I was by it all, by every creative decision taken by the director and the rest, I was […]

Teenagers from Outer Space

In a few of the articles, I found a web that encompasses constructivism and the Soviet avant-garde, […]
