The Highlander Rap Battle, Denny V. Schumacher.
Digital documentation’s res on approach to limits of information contained, its impossible to tell what’s going in half these photos anymore in the bits further limiting visuality, eventually we’ll be documenting mere clouds of shitty nanobot art, but until then, whatever. Denny’s exhibitions an info-graphic-webpage layered arcade, hyperlinked in icons, Benjaminian historico-materialism, thus “History Hall.” Poster Board Board Meeting minutes, even styled in a Haacke-esque politco-absurdum conference table portending Schumacher’s glossy tri-fold PRing the sub-seen IT cogworks. Denny berates, the board bored asked, made to, to care; Schumacher’s warm-liquid soothes the discrepancy between interface and cogs’s backend dilation, realizing nobody cares enjoyability. Denny’s hesitancy leaves him dusty, trying to juice some ink for the future, academically hopeful, propagandizing fear, worried about the unsung quagmire of technology’s cultural representation way too far gone to even try to begin, stuck in ominous 1993’s palliative newness, like, fuck. Schumacher seems injected into it, totally ready for whichever singularity of his future.
One could feel warm towards Denny’s slowness, seemingly having actually taken a step back, or enjoy the blazing fast interneted internalizing of Schumacher; whichever the quickening will eventually deliver.
