…we have to play tricks with language until finally we generate a certain vertigo in ourselves through which words, falsely assumed to transmit knowledge, lose their apparent meaning until a more real discourse is possible — implying ultimately the invention of a new language, a language that does not only have to be spoken and written. In the future I believe books will never be written again, books will be ‘done’, thus literalizing the cliched metaphor that writing is an act.
