Isolated Field Recording Series: Voice Training - Hard Exit
Thursday, June 25th at 8pm EST, ISSUE is pleased to stream Hard Exit, a new piece from multimedia producer Voice Training. The piece is part of the Isolated Field Recording Series, commissioning artists to produce field recordings to be streamed over the course of this challenging and isolated time.
Notes from Voice Training on Hard Exit:
possesed. since the age of four. my earliest memories. staying up late, following my visions into the night. imagining myself in a dress rolling around in a metal pipe. lucid fantasies. crossdressing. noncompliance. it consumed me. i could often think of nothing else. the feeling only intensified. pleasure bubbling from the primordial slime. destiny? desire. spurned by guilt. desire for desire’s sake.
autogynephilia. blanchardism. a panoptical caricature. a reductive imposition. flailing secular rationalism. a strategy they fear. a winning one. he sniffed it out from the start. agp is an adaptive cluster. diffused. corporeality becomes indistinguishable from the imagined. deterritorialized. you are living alongside someone else. or something else. spawned from lilith. a copy of a copy. ai?
"as technology in general and techno capital continues to accelerate, human beings become increasingly alienated from their bodies and eventually their minds.”
hard exit. if the feminine scales towards techno capital, the autogynephile can take it a step further. fusion. melding with production. a wholesale rejection of the “natural” order. of eden. cybernetics. the left hand path. a biohacked, transhuman femdroid armed w/ a 9mm and a bad attitude. they want us destroyed (an imminent danger to already declining hegemonic power). outside coming in. hyper-sexist camouflage. turing cops. checkpoints. imitators will be terminated. we operate in stealth. decentralized. traveling light, not leaving a trace.
meltdown. patchwork. autonomous zones. erogenous zones. holding on. all becomes a hobbesian game. pareto efficient, pareto improvement. invest carefully! the beating heat of the neo-city. silicon hot as cement. sissified colonies. neon barricades. gloss age mindset. iridescent self sufficiency. reproductive death drive. physiology wavers. nature obeys."
