IV. Written at one time or another; or is it one Place or another?

So I approach what is left for me of that evening. Now its time to read the artifact I rendered during the talk. And then create another artifact. Artifact from artifact; artifact to artifact. The question is whether I am reading Badiou’s thesis. Actually all I’m reading is what I interpret from the flow of sounds. I’m tempted to say I’m reviewing Badiou’s thoughts, but I hesitate. I’m reviewing what I took out of the discussion and I may have distorted or totally misrepresented what he intended. In terms of me being in this Place, now, that doesn’t matter, does it? I can’t do anything about that, can I? I’m ready for what I’m ready.

This piece is not continuous. I as yet have not reread my notes of a talk given at another Place. I am just reacting to memories (of which I will not pretend to say I know the physiology); my current partial experience of this Place. I reread my own artifact and respond.

V. What if there were no artifacts?
