All this in a park where
art director Assheton Gordon had painted the grass green, and apparently
dyed 35 black-ish pigeons ink-black, in order to recompose “the setting
so that it could look more like itself”. (33) As these details pass
over into legend and deepen the myth surrounding Maryon Park, an otherwise
self-effacing process of renewal and becoming is at least partially interrupted.
Technology assumes the role of the akashic in assisting
communal memory to prevent total erasure and to document subsequent variform
inscriptions; in doing so, it also releases tenacious forms which will quickly
attain relative independence and perpetually haunt us, should we choose
to open ourselves up to their existence. The Qliphoth have found new embodiment
in the datasphere, enticing those who “surf” at speed through
treacly info-sludge, overjoyed that the exceedingly time-consuming and inconvenient
study of Kabbalah is no longer necessary. (34) When I first wrote this conclusion
on 24/09/04, Yom Kippur had just begun and Madonna, sorry, Esther was continuing
her spiritual pilgrimage in Israel – a simulated intersection of trajectories
ripe for exegesis if ever I saw one – and was perhaps helping to focus
our attention, albeit unintentionally, on the need to beware such negative
cosmic energies and treat them as realities. (35) But let’s not get
Hung Up on it. (36)
