New beginnings begin by deciding, Re: <nettime> FW: call for

New beginnings begin by deciding,

deciding who is the real and who is the absolute enemy. At the moment 
positions are mirrors and mirroring.

According to Carl Schmitt, the absolute enemy is the 'eigene Frage als 
Gestalt'. 

The most intense question now is place over time, on both sides as one: 
take a stand, my friend. The very embodiment of this most intense 
question, what is that but time over space: the Wanderer, but hey!

"Who's that white boy over there?
with a feather in his hair?

He must be new cause he ain't from here."(singing Jason Downs)

The very embodiment of this most intense question, what is that but time 
over space: the Wanderer, and this absolute enemy is momentarily projected 
onto and is disguised as the real enemy. Once again the real and absolute 
enemy coincide. On both sides and as one.

Nice lines! What do they do? Well, I can make them move a little, a 
little a lot. I breathe into my lines and sit back and wait. Wait to watch 
them come alive, watch them come alive, watch them come, alive

Rob.
