THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH
and the word was god
we now have access to a mass net of information with ports in our home, workplace and pockets at any given moment
this is a public platform where visual and written material is constantly distributed and redistributed via the various social intranets that make up this dense tangled web of information
intertextuality becomes a sub–language to the dominant text based communication
connotations are social currency
a corporation pays a ‘millennial’ for a new buzzword
references are a byproduct of the linguistic basis for consciousness, a pattern–seeking mentality that can’t help but constantly adapt and expand all modes of collective understanding
this is the hive mind
a behavioural universality, that is mimicked in the extended online platform
the words are just the after–effect of this process of becoming conscious
this is the collective consciousness
what enables me to send information from me to you
we are the gods of our own universe
