A poem Mac posted on Posthuman Blues, 2003...
"Caffeine laughter
Julia sets
(anomalous magnetism)
Captured on film
(we study reports)
Acres of glass,
Imitation marble
Raw squid
and infomercials
Hyperoxygenated blood:
more durable memory
Rorschach calligraphy /
Thinking machines
No, truly thinking
(aware of quantum manifestions)
Why don't we all meditate
on the singularity
Or
Small Gray men
(suits of reptile flesh,
cardboard and cinnamon)"
-Mac Tonnies, 2003
Thank you again for doing this. I wind up crying again every time I visit, but it's starting to get better. It's so wonderful to finally, in some fashion, meet the mind behind the art that delighted me on PHB. Don't stop doing what you do and I won't either. Mac would want it that way.
ReplyDeleteWith affection and sadness,
Kate
Much obliged, Kate.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I'm reminded me of this weird little email I received from Mac this past August... It's actually pretty funny in a blackly humorous way. He may have posted it elsewhere but I'll cut and paste it here anyway:

What's "weird" is that the email was addressed to himself (?) and yet wound up in my mailbox. Go figure.
