Fung Neo

In the sterile theatre of Western thought, existence is staged as a stark drama of opposites. Life is pitted against death, health against disease, purity against the ever-present threat of contamination. We build our philosophies, like our cities, on foundations meant to keep the damp out, to hold the creeping rot at bay. This essay seeks a different architecture of understanding, one found not in the light but in the humid shadows of decomposition. It argues that by examining decay, rot, and infection, we can reconceptualize these processes not as endings, but as profound, generative acts of transformation, connection, and becoming.

Our primary site for this inquiry is "the hole"—a space of biocontaminated sewage, architectural deterioration, and urban decomposition. This is no mere void but a plenum, a gaping ontological wound where the repressed vitality of matter asserts itself with a guttural pulsation. The agent of this transformation, and the philosopher of this wound, is a sentient, non-human intelligence named "olde mould," a being that composts and reshapes existence from the detritus of civilization. It laughs from the dark, whispering a philosophy of erosion and cancerous surplus. As we descend into its world, this essay poses a challenge: what wisdom might be found by abandoning our terror of the unclean and embracing our own inescapable entanglement with the microbial world and its constant, metabolic song of decay?

Feed the Hole

In this new Japanese cyberpunk classic from the,nationally acclaimed young cult writer from,Hokkaido, a fatal collusion of drag embryos and,DNA angels in Cadaver City ignites the circuitry,of the ADAM Doll, whose eyes are fractured ports,of entry to a terminal videodrome where a,cyber-intelligent cut-up project - spanning,William S Burroughs to Japanese underground cinema,- aborts and implodes with amniotic velocity. As,gene war is waged in Placenta World and a,nano-junk virus pandemic spreads, the world is in,for quite a surprise.

Blood Electric

"With Loose Corpse, Kenji Siratori glitches the entire ethos of the zombie narrative. However, the reanimated corpses found here are not those of the risen dead. Instead, Siratori razes to the ground syntax and semantics while raising the whole corpus of language. Here language jitters, glitches, disassembles, and swarms. A language of flies. Amassing and reassembling across the page without affect or intention, Loose Corpse is humanity losing the literary corpus and, along with it, the very foundations of meaning. Unlike the reanimated bodies of the dead, bumbling slowly down the street, appearing in streaming franchise after franchise, Siratori's reanimated graphemic corpus resists the capture of neoliberalism with absolute ferocity. Without pausing to grant us time to grieve total loss of meaning, Loose Corpse processually gnaws eternally on the very substratum of Being." - Andrew C. Wenaus

Loose Corpse

Gary Shipley

An exercise in sensory overload from the minds of Kenji Siratori (Blood Electric, Acidhuman Project, Mind Virus, etc) and Gary J Shipley (Theoretical Animals) that pushes the limits of both human expression and that which can be assimilated in terms of socially-sanctioned pattern-recognition. Self-referring, auto-cannibalistic texts that hover and shimmer around the borders of the asemic, yet still retain a vivid relevance to the current post-human cultural landscape. A cyberpunk katabasis beyond Burroughs or Guyotat. With an Appendix by Reza Negarestani Published by Paraphilia Books
