Shape Of Absence – Act II

Shape Of Absence – Act I

Nothing Is Free

“Save it on the cloud… access it from anywhere, anytime… we’ll secure it for you”… we all have been exposed to this technology and more or less it has been a part of our current reality. Along with the lightning-fast speed of AI development/use.
At first glance these “commodities” appear to be free of charge; you can use the free cloud storage of your choosing or you can ask ChatGPT a question from your mobile phone without even buying a subscription.
But… is it free?

A Descending Spiral

Tablets Of Umbra – VI. Allotropos

“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy.
Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it.
Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth.
Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate.
In fact, violence merely increases hate…Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
Martin Luther King Jr.

Fear of Art

“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” — Edgar Degas
