ideolo-juice

solar v lunar printing presses?

Swimming in ideolo-juice whilst in the city, I came across a newspaper, it’s cover presenting generalized data on the average person here, apparently. In colour printing there is a registration mark, and within these probability graphics/symbols used to present generalized data were the colour marks CMY representing adventure/discovery/social action. Statistics aside I found the general mathematical pattern jarring in its uniformity. Meditating on the registration process as a method of correlating overlapping colours into one single image -conjunction?- gestured towards a way out of antagonistic propaganda back and forth and a way into the technology, the machine.
This makes me recall my blind affinity with the works of Austin Osman Spare, but equally my dismissive dislike of Crowley's language. And i do put alot of seemingly irrational trust into that sort of personal intuition. But perhaps others distinctions between the two can elucidate, that is: "distinction to be made between Crowley and Spare. Spare was less interested in magical beliefs than in the nature of belief itself - he was interested in 'how' to believe, and not 'what' to believe."- Phil Baker
But dreamy speculations aside... Maybe to experience what is often called ideology in a more immanent sense? Less probability and more mess. Lofty aspirations aside I proceeded to deface the image with my face as, today, I am a vandalizing pirate.


and then... the smashed rabbit, found, two faces
