Where do you find new music, dear friends? Especially non-mainstream and something what is not broadcasted. Niche music. Strange music. International music. (And as bonus: Japanese music).

AI has dreams (about sheeps and humans). People call it hallucinations. People see it in derogatory ways. I know that machines dreams.

And what happens after?

2008 somebody disappeared. Locked in an enourmous House with all mirrors locked away. I did an ARG "Lauscherhans" with worldwide players - in videos, blogs, with use of codes and Enigma machine. Recently I found out, people are still remembering this experience. Thank you.

>>> I wanted to make you proud. I wanted to impress you.

I still have that look on my face, as I'm standing in the doorway with a telescope.

>>> What do you see in the window? Is it a woman? Or a mannequin? Or an UFO?

Whatever you see, it's mysterious and exists besides you. Like a GenAI model.

Sometimes it happens without my involvement, though. Duchamp hoped that future art would be created without hands by non-humans. Don't worry, my dear anthropocentrists, ready to lynch me with your pitchforks. We're the target group. In a good way. We perceive art. In a human way.

city.txt

>>> City
full of cars
smoking drunken souls
and dead men

A neon hell, shimmering through the monochrome. You know that tingle of your hand if touching a CRT monitor back to 1980ies?

Hallucinations! What could be better for a creative? Max Ernst called his collages "hallucinations": "a random encounter of two distant realities in an unsuitable area".

Reading what AI wrote was hilarious and exhilarating! random ≠ ridiculous. It was DADA. I saw it clearly.

Exaggerate.txt

>>> Dadaism / DADA!
Cadavreism / Cadavre exquis
Poploism (?)
Deoldification / Colorize!
Fernweh / Japan

Wor(l)ds you never heard (or have you?).

Let's hardly exaggerate!

Wichtig: es wird einem Fotografen in Hamburg und Berlin gesucht, um eine Aktion zu dokumentieren. Pls DM me, in case if :)

So here is a clue. #reMERZ is an online/offline project. During December I'll perform reMERZ poems live - in Twitter Spaces (audio only), Youtube Live, Instagram Live, TikTok live and probably some 3D chatrooms. Unscheduled. Sudden. Hic&Hoc. Pay attention to this monitor image.

>>> "I'll be the only one who can't be persuaded". First, second, final line of a lifelong poem?

What happens with a writer without his Muse... and with her? And then without?

Endlich. Ich spreche darüber schon seit 10 Jahren.
Habe buchstäblich ein Buch darüber geschrieben.
So wird aus einem Impostersyndrom fast schon eine Berufserfahrung.
