DETERIOGRAMS - A Language of Love

Mindape returns to us this month with a detritic trove of digital Valentine's Day cards. This is the perfect gift to eSend to your loved ones, faint acquaintances, and psychic enemies on this most holy of consumer holidays!

A compressed, ambiguous greeting from a local point of failure. A free-floating symptom of imminent disaster. Infrastructural telekinesis. From our neglect straight to your amygdala. A Valentine’s day card scrounged directly from the floor of the mud-caked foundation pit.

An apathetic shrug from a rusty bending support beam. On the brink of an impersonal implosion, a broadcast unease. And funny! Vermin in code. A portrait of negation in action. Wherein the pavement oozes an asphaltine pus. Wherein our correspondent suffers a psychic attack from a nebulous, carcino-mystic brain-odour.

A catcall from the brink of the plasmatic afterzone. The practical cinematography of delay. The face of cancellation. What can you do but wait? The brittle chance of a new night, the solar bedbug’s POV.

To be perfumed, folded up and hurled into the gutter, with romance on the severed tongue, a nobody’s gray saltine excuse for a kiss. The sigil of postponed maintenance cycles. Stimulation through degradation.

The strange majesty of the industry jargon, ‘end of life.’ The stain on the heart, the paint peeling off the peritoneum, a smile of petroleum psychosis.

The Mindape is notoriously elusive, but you may find their muddy tracks on Itch.io.
