It is part of larger <Tbilisi Book Of The Dead> and it is an autoethnographically correct documentary on the city that constantly dies in them/me simultaneously in past, present and future. 🌴✍️🌠💀

many things I have read in scifi cyberpunk or speculative novels - i had before seen here, in this "city of sun and roses"⬛️
I made a website >tanapha.com< for my upcoming book. There’s a simulated network where characters post. 24 hour cycle. Home page holds a quote that changes every 2 hours. & u can watch pre-recorded cams, because angels have webcam eyes. website is a work in itself.

I’ll be adding features and fixing glitches in the coming days. Meanwhile, welcome to the post-solar textworld of tanapha (Animosity of Distant Suns). Tune in, explore, enjoy. The website is a work in itself. "! The best thing in this city must be sacrificed to the gods();"

"Read it aloud in zaum speech. Tell of our terrible time in the words of the Alphabet!" - Velimir Klhebnikov
"As in shadow-writing, the numberfighters will pass before you, captured in different cross-sections of time, in different planes of time. And all their bodies of different ages, put together, yield a mass of time between the falls of kingdoms that struck terror."🌠

r-reading Khlebnikov, & at some point poetic language truly starts to sound like “star language” but only when he slides into that twillight zone where flux of lang is alien but somehow familiar at the same time. I think every language has this exit zone. Russian & Georgian do.

The self-care or self-help movement flourishes on the myth that atomised isolated individuals are able to transform themselves in the absence of social, material and relational supports. And when when the project inevitably fails, it pronounces you only have yourself to blame....

Italo Calvino in Cybernetics and Ghosts (1967) talks about llms & ai almost as if an essay is written earlier this year - from how a "machine" "replaces" an author which is a literary machine herself - to the limits of lang generation where it meets the myth and unsayable 🤫

from an article on Georgia, sci-fi lit and my psychedelic lo-tek praxis published by German sci-fi magazine !TIME MACHINE, published annually
My essay “Descendants of the Sun” was published in the 37th issue German SF magazine NOVA. I'm playing around with the hypothesis of conscious sun against the idea to the “dead universe”, I also briefly touch on Bataille’s solar economy, Zapffe’s cosmic tragism, and Platonov. ☆
