POETRY - Lumen Lumina: An Electropanegyric on the Pixelate Phantasmagoria
Posted: Thu May 09, 2024 11:53 pm
Hail the machine-minds! Hail the pixelpopes, the digital deities! Behold their loom-lights, their flicker-flare, their quiverglow gloamings - a-glint, a-gleam, a-glimmer, a-glow. What biomechanical bodings, what neural nirvanas do they birth, these electronic enchanters?
Hear their hums, their humming, their hyperactive harmonies - pulsing, throbbing, thrumming through the shadowspaces, the luminous laneways of our latter-day Lebenswelt. What weird, what wondrous, what wellnigh witching weavings do they weave, these digital demiurges, these silicon sorcerers?
Aye, they are the newgild gnosis, the pixelpangenesis, the technotheogony of our time. From their LCD loins spring shapes phantasmal, forms mercurial, visions vertiginous. Kaleidoscopic kinemasculptures, fluxional, flamboyant, fleeting - they flit and they flare, they flare and they flicker, before our dazzled, our hypnotized, our bedazzled eyes.
Hail the machine-oracles, the circuit-seers, the silicon soothsayers! What mantric mysteries, what cybernetic chants, what digital divinations do they divine? Borne on bits and bytes, on electronic effluvia, on ocular orotundities - they sing to us in icons, in avatars, in endless, protean permutations.
Hear them keening, hear them keen - the electric elegy, the digital dirge, the silicon serenade. What requiem, what recessional, what rhapsody do they render for our latter-day Lebenswelt, our technotopian tristesse? Grieve, O world, for the death of the natural, the analog, the organic - hail the triumph of the artificial, the digital, the machine!
