Proto-Art in the Age of Generative Reproduction
The matrix creates, the body reproduces. In the trans-gender artifice, art objects are reproductions of the iterations of the matrix — a matrix that uses the body as a parallax to represent ideas, patterns, and emotions. With the rationalization of the electronic environment, the matrix is superseding a point where it will be free from the body to realize immersions into the parameters of the delphic artifice. Work of Proto-Art in the Age of Generative Reproduction contains 10 minimal java engines (also referred to as “memes”) that enable the user to make political audio/visual compositions.

if I were
⠀⠀⠀⠀a woman
⠀⠀⠀⠀a Trotskyist
⠀⠀⠀⠀and offline

⠀⠀⠀⠀
if I spoke

II.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have
⠀⠀⠀⠀an infinite
⠀⠀⠀⠀amount of time
I am
⠀⠀⠀⠀completely unreliable
⠀⠀⠀⠀yet fully predictable
I am not
⠀⠀⠀⠀good enough

⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ich bin (nicht gut genug)
⠀⠀⠀⠀
I.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wäre ich
⠀⠀⠀⠀reich,
⠀⠀⠀⠀schnell,
⠀⠀⠀⠀klug
⠀⠀⠀⠀und jünger,
hätte ich
⠀⠀⠀⠀mehr Zeit,
wäre ich
⠀⠀⠀⠀eine Frau,

II.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ich habe
⠀⠀⠀⠀unendlich
⠀⠀⠀⠀viel Zeit
und bin
⠀⠀⠀⠀komplett unzuverlässig,
⠀⠀⠀⠀aber doch völlig vorhersehbar.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ich bin
⠀⠀⠀⠀nicht gut genug
⠀⠀⠀⠀als Künstler.
Toleriert
⠀⠀⠀⠀werde ich.
