Dreamwork/Codework rough notes


Erst in dem Doppelbereich
werden die Stimmen
ewig und mild. (RMR)

in the double realm of work / dream ~ work / dream / real - then to
confront work / code ~ work / code / ecriture -
scaffolding slides against scaffolding ~ raster against raster

the symbolic matrix / dream ~ protocol / code

what is the work of the dream ? making sense of the (wor)l<d>
what is the work of the code ? problematizing sense of the wor(l)d

double work of the dream: the dream is _worked_ - energy expended in its
production, energy expended in the production of the mise en scene; and
the dream _works_ - transforms anomaly into homeostatis. in _dreamwork,_
the dream sutures and stitches the wounded.

double work of code: the code is _worked_ - energy expended in its produc-
tion, energy expended in the production of its graphemic output; and the
code _works_ - transforms output into semantics. in _codework,_ code both
sutures and ruptures, stitches and wounds.

the _codework of the dreamwork_ - dream decoding and production (symbolic)
the _dreamwork of the codework_ - code decoding and a-production
(imaginary)

There is no _fundamental unit_ of either code or dream; code runs into the
discursive formation described by Christian Metz in his film semiotics -
it slips, just as dream slips in a more acceptable analysis.

Wie viele von diesen Steller Raeume waren schon innen in mir. (RMR)
How many of these places in space are already in me.

an hundert Stellen ist es noch Ursprung. (RMR)
at a hundred places it remains Origin.
at a hundred points it is still Origin.
at a hundred points it is Origin still. (Norton)
