Content

Although this is not print, I write in a manner that facilitates
transmission in other forms such as print, spoken word, and via a
screen reader. So terms such as "this article" are preferable to
"this website", and I avoid terms like "click here", which makes
no sense when using a screen reader, for instance. In determining
what language is most suitable, it is helpful to imagine I'm
writing the content for print. So my work is no longer a finished
corpus, some content enclosed in an object or its margins, but a
differential network, a fabric of traces referring endlessly to
something other than itself, to other differential traces. The
content in these traces is a glimpse of something, an encounter
like a flash. It's very tiny — very tiny, content.
Unfortunately, it is still assumed that a work of art is its
content, that it should refer to something beyond itself.
