i still have not figured out this digital olympus by intuition or chance, i say, yet perhaps i 
have in my way. you don't hafta understand economics to pay, and you don' hafta understand technology to use it. the salient thing is to not be a dupe of technology or money, right? right. you get what you need while you continue living. we watched the films of nathaniel dorsky and thought his way of seeing is akin to me, and if i had had the patience to carry on with super 8 and graduated to 16mm instead of melting down in the catacombs in the editing room. had i not been lazy and light seeking and found sanctuary in poems. well, we're all enmeshed in the floating world of thought and image. i was tired and the program was silent and slow and long, but i was inspired, and i'm glad nathaniel made those films, and i'm glad i can do what i can do, whatever it is. my friend at open produce was reading paul muldoon and i told him about dorsky and he said his whole mode was the questioning of what makes art art. what makes art the art of life.
