Leech

Leech is a series of distorted poetic documents, glitchy environments, proximity readings, and digital meditations on the body and para-site. Approached through our fragmented existence within the parasitic network. The apparatus beckons you. Crawl through the pixelated pages and screens. Slip inside the information systems that work through networks of contact, extractive processes, and the parasitic behaviors within art making. Embrace the psychic slippage. Scry the poetics of contingency. Drink the blood from the leech.Praise for ZER000 EXCESSJAKE REBER'S ZER000 EXCESS UNLEASHES A HOST OF GRAPHICALLY PIXELATED CONTAGIONS ALONG THE PATHWAY OF THE BOOK. THE RESULTS BLOWN OUT: DARK MATTER, BLACK HOLES YOU ARE READING, RECOMBINANT DELAYS, AUTO SCRIPTS SPLICED TO YOUR EYES' FASCINATION. TERMINAL. AND TRANSGENIC.TAN LIN ZER000 EXCESS IS THE DRUG YOU TAKE WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH POETRY. AMY IRELAND ZER000 EXCESS FINDS A NEW MIAPHYSITISM RESPONSIVE TO RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN BIOTECHNOLOGIES, AFTER THE END OF LITERATURE, A TECHNO INDIVIDUATION. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN HIGHER ORDER CYBERNETICS, I SUGGEST YOU READ IT.MAURE COISE>)'S TREATMENT OF INFORMATION AS MATTER, AND, (IF THERE IS A CALL TO STAY IN THE REALM OF "LITERATURE" ITSELF) REITERATES THE IMPORTANCE OF STEVE BEARD'S EXPLICIT FRACTURING OF THE SIGNIFYING CAPACITY OF INSCRIPTION VIS A VIS NARRATION IN HIS LONG-NEGLECTED PERFUMED HEAD. ZER000 EXCESS'S CEPHALOPODIC NETWORKS ENTWINE THE IMAGISTIC CAPACITY OF SPARE LANGUAGE & STUTTERING REPETITION, GRAPHIC MOMENTS OF MONTAGE THAT REVEAL A NEW WAY FOR THE BOOK TO EXPLICITLY DELIVER MOVEMENT, AND THE LATENT PRESENCE OF OBSCURED TEXTUAL FRAGMENTS TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT WE ARE OFTEN TOLD BUT ARE RARELY CALLED TO WITNESS: INFORMATION IS MATERIAL, FORM AND CONTENT SIT WITH EQUAL WEIGHT. REBER'S BOOK IS NOT A BOOK THAT ONE COULD INSIST IS ABOUT ANYTHING, RATHER IT IS AN OBJECT TO BE THRUST INTO THE WORLD QUIETLY, TO BE ENCOUNTERED RATHER THAN DECIPHERED.M KITCHELLIN ZER000 EXCESS, JAKE REBER ADOPTS FORMAL RESOURCES FROM INTERNET WRITING, GRAPHIC NOVELS, VISUAL POETRY AND EXPERIMENTAL FICTION TO COMPOSE A MAGNIFICENT NOVEL-NETWORK RIGHT IN THE INTERFACE BETWEEN TEXT AND THE CYBERORGANIC. FUNCTIONING LIKE A STORAGE SYSTEM CAPABLE OF HOSTING UNEXPECTED GLITCHES, MOLECULAR MODULARITY AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THE OUTSIDE, ZER000 EXCESS MIGHT BE A PRINTOUT FROM THE MIND OF A COSMIC COMPUTER WHICH EXPLORES THE POSSIBILITY OF LIFE SPONTANEOUSLY EMERGING OUT OF INCOMPLETE DATA RECORDS.GERMAN SIERRA
