Surpassing an intrinsic dichotomy

Athens, September 25th 2009

The entire structure of the Virtual Entity project, and the entire
structure of the digital world, and the whole system of oppositions, and
the fancy PhD-bubble, the entire whole world seems to be talking about a
(fantastic) dualistic composition, that of 'this' and 'that', as in
Practice and Theory, or Software and Philosophy, or Content and Form,
Junction and Dis-junction, including the semiotic attempt to learn from
the process of connecting the act of making sense in itself to the symbol
as a pre-determined array of strata -out of humanity. Following this
ancestral structure, that of the zeros and ones which we nowadays find
incredibly fulfilling - as if confusing an alphabet with the spell - this
research on virtual life and immaterial consciousness, this quest on
digital filaments and the naturality of manufactures, all that, which I
named Virtual Entity, was nailed and confined to a narrow vision, that of
a software developing itself silently, and compulsively, while a totally
separated theory talks, phantasmatically walking on another sphere. Yet it
was never the case: the development was in fact a continuous dialog
between the two sides, a rhythmic triggering of doubts, questions and
answers transduced from one vertex to the other. So how to declare
definitely obsolete any distinction, entangling these two dimensions in
such a way that, not differently from the Cartesian representation of x
and y on a planar schema, this theoretical software can unfold its entire,
3dimensional constitution?
How do we wander through the marvellous garden of executable logic, if not
singing a requiem* for human culture?

    * requiem: musical service, hymn, or dirge for the repose of the soul
of the dead.
