In this small quote, I discovered my entire recent relationship with Tbilisi, which seems to be evolving into a novel, which seems to be like Jacob's struggle with the angel before dawn, where even in the final moments it is difficult to distinguish a hug from an attempted murder
"It was amazing to imagine your city was a novel, and that for you to walk around within it meant that you were in language, you were in a thinking text. I had been placed inside of something dreaming, its citizens dreaming, the novels we had all written dreaming." -Renee Gladman

chatbot shadow work. Syatnova-cyberpunk era, 2017. I had hours of screenrecs connecting words inside this platform I created with my alchemist. There in 2014 I "wrote" a chatbot of deceased "king of the poets". This was part of my lit-art practice & then became part of my texts.

'...фундаментальное одиночество состоит ведь не в том, что у тебя нет друзей, а в том, что не с ними твоя беседа, что беседа — она с дальним, как выражался Мандельштам, провиденциальным, т. е. виртуальным, собеседником. Я никогда не осмеливался назвать его Богом.'

A part of my polyphonic literary practice involves studying the syntax of ancient or extinct programming languages from Soviet-era Russian-language manuals. 🕺🌴💀🌠

Wrote an essay on how Tiflis of 1918–1921 became the "Paris of the Caucasus"- a wild mix of Ashiks & Futurists. Zdanevich, ZAUM of Kruchyonikh, Ietim Gurji etc. How it fell overnight & why today's prosaic Tbilisi needs to remember its poetic roots. https://t.co/tap8uHb7kL
