Yet then, it seems like we just have layers and layers of unfolding  
text, algorithmic variations from arbitrary rules, the 'pataphysic' a  
Veil of Maya --- doesn't the 'real' keep escaping
to somewhere 'over there' , 'out there' 'alongside' -- sidereal?

Contingent spaces in landscape interest me because of the edges of  
them, where something's (an object of desire?)  sneaking out, I keep  
suspecting, something (oops) Real..  Baudrillard so fascinated
by my own state of California, 'the only paradise, the last paradise,  
mournful' ,   still references a paradise substituting for whatever  
the 'real' ever was.  A completely
indeterminate contingency=state, a 'state of mind' ; he longs to be  
'inside' it , apparently feels 'outside' it.  He can't rationalize  
his longing, it makes no sense, he wants to be inside. Sounds sexy to  
me.

bemused,

Christina
