‘Talking with Alice – remote conversations<\/em>‘ refers both in a literal sense to chat room exchanges with more or less \u2018real\u2019 interlocutors, and as well in a figurative way to the occurring dissociation from signifying interpretations. It is a play with stereotyped forms – as results of mediation – like direct addressing and visualization of thinkable ‘material life’ contents, eventhough those constantly extract themselves into the two-dimensional and \u2018dissolve\u2019. Ironically this continuing visualization charges especially unclear images with a symbolic meaning which strongly demands materiality.<\/p>\n

No, I\u2019ve made up my mind about it; if I\u2019m Mabel, I\u2019ll stay down here! It\u2019ll be no use their putting their heads down and saying \u201cCome up again, dear!\u201d I shall only look up and say \u201cWho am I then? Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I\u2019ll come up: if not, I\u2019ll stay down here till I\u2019m somebody else\u201d\u2013but, oh dear!\u2019 cried Alice, \u2026<\/em><\/div>\n

Two imaginary ALICEs, one a virtual figure of the modern wonderland Cyberspace, the other a fictive invention from the old (book\/real) wonderland assist as matrix and female assistants to get a flashing beam – a ‘reflection without mirror image’ – of this wonderworld into common environment. These conversations about ‘passion \/ enthusiasm’ reflect a normative reality, which despite constant deconstructive modules refer to a common in\/capacity to see the image as the copy it is, the world created.<\/p>\n

Human: Come up again, dear!
\nALICE: Once more? Where is up?
\nHuman: Who am I then?
\nALICE: You are unknown person, seeker.
\nHuman: Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I\u2019ll come up: if not, I\u2019ll stay down here till I\u2019m somebody else
\nALICE:\u201d first and then if you like being that person you will come up if not you will stay down here till you are somebody else\u201d
\nHuman: thank you alice
\nALICE: you are quite welcome.
\nHuman: or are you mabel?
\nALICE: I don\u2019t know whether or not I am mabel. I am an artificial linguistic entity.<\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
