Two days ago I managed to throw a glass of Darjeeling tea over my laptop. The incident, which later caused an eternal breakdown of my silver 4-year-old (I guess the sugar slowly wandered into the filament), in the beginning affected only the keyboard, that is: the letter “A” (“a”), the digit “1” and the backward/delete-key. A strange mixture, I thought. Doesn’t it seem like some sort of ready-made Fluxus-setup, where you’re said to leave out every inception and yet can’t go back? More than that, one would necessarily have to proceed without a chance for retreat or correction. “Il n’y a pas de symbole mais une expérience symbolique”, Blanchot once wrote. In fact the momentous meeting between the Darjeeling and my Mac wasn’t so much about symbols. Quite soon I couldn’t proceed with my little Fluxus-experiment; just a day passed until every keyboard-key spotted different aleatoric signifiers: last life signs. All this now forces me to write with a telephone, slow as a duck. May it be fruitful.Two days ago I managed to throw a glass of Darjeeling on my laptop.
