Looking at your operating system computer screen. Is it Micro Soft
Windows or Macintosh or RedHat Linux 8.0 Bluecurve, with look and
feel desktop Graphic User Interface? You on a graphic representation
transcendental surface. Words and typeface letters graphic semiotic
information and this representation caught on surface effect abstract
expressionist collage and pseudo Burroughsian cutups application and
repetition. Repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating, repeating. You
with sad Spinozan passion on this graphic workspace. On this surface on
the way to hack, to break through; to get at code. Always fighting your
computer; to break through the operating system doing what has to do to
fit into doing what it can do, imposing a reading and procedure on your
notes, your writing. To get inside the system and hack a smoother way to
think code. To move to a console ASCII text. Could this be source code,
shell scripts and configuration files? Not convinced, yet, that the
source is there, compiling yet another transcendental surface in ASCII
typeface console user interface representation. A computer screen is in
your face, graphic and text console. In so far as you can talk about
narrative structure, it is a structure or process of hacking.
