Cicerone´s Journeys: Fourteen

Cicerone might be a man with a movie camera, his kino eye trained on a storyboard that maps the space of a database, based on aesthetics of disappearance and re-emergence. Vanishing acts and dramatic entrances. He has known for a long time that meaning in a given cultural text is not so much produced as post-produced and he doesn't need to be curated into a set of arbitrary relations to understand the syntax of the creative act. His scripts and treatments are playlists and remixes, dredged from the depths of memory, organic or silicate, to be recombined in a real-time stream of consciousness / reframed. Cicerone says it was always like this, nothing new, that there was maybe just no word for it earlier. So now he examines short intervals and points of contact on the circuit boards of geography, history, memory, encultured action. This is what it is like. It is like this. This is what it is, and has been, and will be.
