Newspaper- Daily Object Writing – Oct 18
Oct 17th, 2009 | By admin | Category: Daily WritingWhat’s for breakfast? Another mish-mash of news, information and lifestyle articles. A moving feast that swings from page to page eyes scanning left to right on jungle vines of columns and paragraphs. Hands wrapped around the greasy vines of opinion and observation that sink down to the roots, embedded in th earth and some reality somewhere. Everything in black and white, clear decisions, clear judgments from those on the spot- or are they? Pictures and words in full colour, jumping out in 3D Reality, advertisements pulling you into their vortex.
Pages turning, discarded like autumn leaves from a shedding tree, burned up like logs in a crackling winter fire. Indulged in silence like Budhhist contemplation. Ink still smells fresh on the page, residue rubs off on fingertips, your own personal FBI prints available soon. Page after page, words shoot into your eyeballs like arrows, surmounting your fortress brain, loading it down with more useless information you don’t need, as long as the advertisements get through they’re happy, the raison d’etre – nothing to do with ‘news’ , but advertising. Subconscious balloons begins to fill with the helium of persuasion for next time you sail down a narrow isthmus in a supermarket, or enter a service station convenience store and note the two for one offer, influence persuasion, opinion – all infused from the marching columns of black and white words. marching and invading the territory of your brain.
