Shannon, you have your wiles

I think I have been subverted by the ghost of Nam June.  I mean I always enjoyed the seemingly organic wackiness and bizarre-ity of a cathode ray image machine, as it grows old and its geriatric deformities bend and break its once organized and handsome shape.  The handsome shape become beautifully gruesome; lines of color and noise flitting and fluttering, bright and vicious.  It's as if you can see the true nature of the thing, the facade of a perfect reproduction broken, by time and measure.  The disillusionment is freeing.  I have become enamored with light and pixel and especially singular phenomena in video.  Video in the dark, it's so fun.  You get noise and noise is what I enjoy.
