I'm interested in things all at once, everything before and everything to come all at once in once place all elbowing each other at the bar in a strip club somewhere way off the road.
I'm for a cult of Modernism that pushes such an abstracted, distilled moonshine of progress its like running on the spot underwater of doing one-handed press-ups.
I'm drawn to adventure and Romantism, an egocentric individualism and the subjectivity we sometimes take for granted in painting and Klaus Kinski's best roles.
I think about Hauntology, of the most alive people being dead and legends, cashing in their Benjaminesque Aura for the opportunity to be uploaded in to public conciousness, to shift and change forever being the hero or monster that ever succeeding generation will desire.
I want the Antiquity and Science fiction all at once all the time.
