Study Notes on Finite and Infinite Games

Drawn at Jul 16 2008 | Games and Lovers, TAZ

[ these notes are taken from the theories presented by James P. Carse in his book 'Finite and Infinite Games' and are hereby to be associated with the literature of the TAZ and Immediatism, by Hakim Bey earlier appended ]

I’ve canonized Carse and his teachings, for the sake of playful irony, which I’m certain won’t be lost on the author when he inevitably finds his way here and laughs his head off.

Notes on Silence and Critique of the Listener

Drawn at Jul 16 2008 | TAZ

[ these notes have been extrapolated and expanded upon, the source is Hakim Bey's writings on the the subject of Raw Vision, Silence and the Critique of the Listener ]

Writing has taken us to the very edge beyond which writing may be impossible. Any texts which could survive the plunge over this edge– into whatever abyss or Abyssinia lies beyond–would have to be virtually self-created… the last screamed messages of a witch or heretic burning at the stake.

Notes on Ontological Anarchy & Immedatism

Drawn at Jul 14 2008 | TAZ

[ these notes have been extrapolated and expanded upon, the source is Hakim Bey's writings on the the subject of Ontological Anarchism and Immediatism ]

“The practice of immediatism will release within us vast storehouses of forgotten power, which will not only transform our lives through the secret realization of unmediated play, but will also inescapably well up & burst out & permeate the other art we create, the more public & mediated art.” [ ... ]

Notes on the Temporary Autonomous Zone

Drawn at Jul 14 2008 | TAZ

[ these notes have been extrapolated and expanded upon, the source is Hakim Bey's writings on the TAZ ]

“The New Autonomy will either infiltrate the media and subvert ‘it’ from within — or else never be “seen” at all. The TAZ exists not only beyond Control but also beyond definition, beyond gazing and naming as acts of enslaving, beyond the understanding of the State, beyond the State’s ability to SEE.”

In silence sweet
we tread our feet
in sands
on shores
of time.

Seeing past the rhythmic beat
and truly touching those we meet,
is why our only weapon is our rhyme.

But as it’s said,
(or so I’ve read)
words are dozens by the dime.

Someday words for me will fail
I will write them not nor speak them,
and then what will you hear from me
you who know my secrets
Will you hear the echoes still

of what you can remember
of the phrases I have said?
Will you recall with quiet sighs
the spirit that moved my lips to play?
Or rather will you wonder if my words
still sing loudly in my eyes
available for the world to hear
if only they knew what language
these deep blue orbs were using?
Maybe you will see my silence
hear my quiet disposition,
maybe you will see plainly in me
that I still loudly listen.
And what will there be left to read
and figure out about me
than the loving sadness in my gaze
and the mysteries of this smile?
