The Feed

Taste, repetition, and the thing you keep being shown.

Figure
What feeds you, and what you feed. Fate as a recommendation.
Pattern
Reaching for the same thing and calling it taste.
What it protects
Never having to choose.
What it costs
Nothing new is allowed in.
The move
Put it face down for one evening and see what shows up.
ON FILE
Forty evenings, one channel, mostly static.

In each position

  1. HOW IT STARTED

    You taught it what you wanted. It took notes. It has never once been wrong.

  2. HOW IT'S GOING

    You are scrolling for the thing you already found. It is three thumbs up.

  3. HOW IT ENDS, ALLEGEDLY

    You will say you were just checking. You will check again before you finish saying it.

Three questions

  1. What have you reached for three times this week and called a preference?
  2. When did something new last get in?
  3. Who taught it what you wanted?

A sample file

A sample file

Forty-one instances of reaching for the same thing have been logged, and each one was filed under taste. This office has reviewed the evenings in question. They are one evening, played at slightly different volumes. Nothing new has been admitted to the file since the spring, and the office can confirm that nothing new was turned away either, because nothing new was ever allowed near the door. xxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxx xxx xxx xxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx The office also has a chair that faces the screen, and it calls that chair a reading chair. Choosing has not been required of you in some time, which is the arrangement. The taste on file was never chosen, only trained.

EXHIBITS
