2099 on American Suburb X by Brad Feuerhelm
’’We come to believe that we are as a species born from progress. We believe that our genetic features and our cultural dispositions are built like a book in chapters of what has preceded us. The discipline of history is to weigh heavily on our beings. Without the harness of its chagrin, we float hereditarily as non-entity, just as we float into those futures in the same capacity of nothingness, but presumed possibility. As an imagined species, we need and we covet goal posts for which to remind and measure ourselves against the idea of history, all of which is agreed upon by tiny little men bent over candle light writing about riches, and plundering, raping, and otherness that somehow on calf skin vellum-bound books in different languages, has travelled in different iterations to what our little tiny “human” minds perceive as history today. When you think about it, not just examine the identity politics of the writer himself, what we are asking of our shared present and indomitable future is that these minor goal posts that we agree upon actually happened so that we may draw our ill-perceived conclusion as to how we “are” and how we got “here”. We do so through images.’’ by Brad Feuerhelm
