Reflecting on my work – some of it going back to 1993.
I’m not so obsessed with the internet as I was in the 1990s. I still think the psyche is created through various creative acts such as naming, writing theorising and managing the medium. The psyche evolves. I’d be happy to call it culture, zeitgeist. I think this creativity goes beyond cyberspace. Marx created a bunch of concepts that fit. We can invent fiction and we also invent non-fiction but it has to relate to the real, to fit, to resonate. to enable.

Archetypes
Hermes rules the internet – he pulls the strings – but he can’t pull them all — but no one can.
And who rules the world? Mammon?
Who is the angel of history?
https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Angelus_Novus
It’s like naming a theme in a group. I concretised a discussion by drawing a line on the stage. A fine line between moaning and denial. It resonated.
Does the Angelus Novus resonate with some sort of reality?
Is “relations of production” an angel? who is that entity pulling the strings?
