first i want to congratulate

first i want to congratulate you because it's a thing that you did that you put effort into and it expresses and energy put into it.
it has a video and everything, kinda felicity scott in content, kinda jon rafman in looks, kinda neat

very razzle dazzle of digital humanities. all the keywords, buzzwords, hot button topics to get an essay in magazine, or a conference at colleges here or there. a contract as a professor for some elective course in some design curriculum.

but such language overcomplicates things that funny enough would be simpler if expressed with all the specificity of the technical language. i wouldn't be surprised if the tone of the text was intended to seem like a machine generated text, like that postmodern paper generator. but it makes sense, at least most paragraphs. it's very long and wordy.

we get it. things bad, we gotta do a big wild yolo against computers.
no, i get it, it's meant to be art. i don't like it as art. (it does make me like you for making it)
accelerationism is a bad look. it attempts to overwhelm with monotone crecendos in a cataclysmic tone.
it attempts to pass that tone as depth of analysis, but it's merely superficially descriptive.
i see here it's not so much the giddy at catastrophe, but anhedonic panic and despair.

it's not all so jumbled up, nor so digitized. these neat tricks are not as relevant and pervasive as their advertisements and the ideologies that push to churn them out. you bought the bluff. the pollution tech makes is greater than the control it exerts, it appears more impressive and more intimidating than it is practical in application.

you said bricolage. how can we take you seriously if you say bricolage?

anyways, the execution is great, well done. keep having a nice career.

really, the video is really nice for anyone who can tolerate the miserable robot voices droning on and on.

only those with high submissiveness and high tolerance of pain and boredom (academic traits par excellence) will make it all the way to end of it. reading through it was a breeze, while watching the video felt eternal.
that's unless you can coerce someone else to watch it, like students in an auditorium, or people at an expo.
i am depriving myself of sleep to get some work done, but i distracted myself with your video, it's slightly more stimulating than the spreadsheet i was brainlessly copy/pasting values into.

the last bit of what to do could be done in a shorter flashier bit and share that instead.
