Everything seen…
Everything had…
Everything known…
-Arthur Rimbaud, “Departure”
With neuroimaging mapping the brain’s pathways of thought and emotion into knowable
terrains, the NSA’s omniscience, Google’s purchase of surveillance companies DropCam and
Nest, big data integration and quantification, and the constant objectification of life via digital
photography and social media, the assertion of interior space and visionary possibilites is all
the more important. New Hells juxtaposes this interior, psychological space with work that
addresses current developments in bio-technology, social engineering, virtual fantasy,
corporate culture, and sexnology. If, as D.H. Lawrence writes, “To know a thing is to kill it,” New
Hells is concerned with what’s still breathing.
