			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">Now that a networked self is no longer the onus of anonymous amoebae, microbial magistrates are on the rise, inter-mingling publicly (not just internally) with once individualized humanoids in the conquest of time and space. Contends K.Varnelis in a <a href="http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2010-01-14-varnelis-en.html" target="_blank">recent revelation:</a> &#8220;we are made up of multiple micro-publics, inhabiting simultaneously overlapping telecocoons.&#8221;  Call it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_innovation" target="_blank">disruptive innovation</a>, if you will, primordial ooze has returned to claim its rightful throne in the networked cosmos. <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1621" title="slime_mold_1-660x501" src="http://weird-fiction.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/slime_mold_1-660x501-600x455.jpg" alt="slime_mold_1-660x501" width="156" height="118" />Schizogeographic positioning systems, indeed, are afoot as urban planners down size design overhead by <em>querying glorified bags of cytoplasm</em>! In one instance, network engineers puzzling out rail systems in Tokyo exploited <a href="http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/01/slime-mold-grows-network-just-like-tokyo-rail-system/#ixzz0f1xZU50P" target="_blank">the economy of  brainless slime mold</a> that &#8220;first creates a fine mesh network that goes everywhere, and then continuously refines the network so that the tubes carrying the most cargo grow more robust and redundant tubes are pruned.&#8221;  Not so long ago, <a href="http://classic-horror.com/reviews/blob_1958" target="_blank">gelatinous agents </a>were marked as shills for Communism, today their amorphous agility and socialistic experience is lauded.<br />

<div style="border: medium none; overflow: hidden; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1617" title="Blood_Falls_wiki01_Medium_Res_photolibrary.usap.gov" src="http://weird-fiction.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Blood_Falls_wiki01_Medium_Res_photolibrary.usap.gov-600x351.jpg" alt="Blood_Falls_wiki01_Medium_Res_photolibrary.usap.gov" width="225" height="131" /> </span><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">But not all microneers are so willing to be entangled in the advances of the wired-up humanoid regime. </span><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/04/16/antarcticas-blood-falls-shows-how-aliens-might-live-on-ice-worlds/" target="_blank">Hardcore microbial Luddites inhabiting a massive glacial safe house in the Antarctic yonder </a>have remained content in cold darkness without oxygen, let alone wi-fi access, for millenia!  Cosmically indifferent about appearances, these old school </span><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremophile" target="_blank">extremophiles</a> </span><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">travel in blood red torrents, a fashion statement at once hideous and care-free.  Such isolated populations constitute  <strong>obliterariums</strong> <em>au naturale </em>and they are gaining new respect&#8211;<em>or at least temporary trackbacks</em>&#8211;from portent deprived apocalypticists! In a world where continuous partial attention holds sway, nostalgic impulses travel laterally groping for google trends, such anomalous geologic phenomena  achieve sublime temporality, temporarily. Unfathomable and feared at least as long as a passing comet&#8217;s visibility spans thru the sky , or news of such events is sustained in a bout of tweets (which ever comes first)</span></div>

<p>When planets are aligned all too much is taken to task in the form of <a href="http://www.2012planetalignment.net/about/" target="_blank">eschatological agendas</a>.  The obliterati do not so much as feign an interest in such garishness, so far as I can assess.  Instead it&#8217;s calculated sabotage and much phasing in and out of sync.  When the planets are covertly, tactically, <em>misaligned</em>&#8212;this is when modular components are given to be mutated in ad hoc allegories, pattern overloads and a cine-psychosis of meta self-referencing narrative debris.  So much as I can assess, anyways <img src='http://weird-fiction.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Welcome to the obliteratarium, a strong hold of <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/26/magazine/26drugs-t.html?_r=1&amp;ref=magazine" target="_blank">grey market R&amp;D</a>, a nexus perplexus, and perhaps the only artificial environment for the study of this stealthy elite. Within this humble receptacle, careening as it is through the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noosphere" target="_blank">noosphere</a>, design scientists and free-lance cranks craft <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_cinema" target="_blank">database narratives</a> and<a href="http://www.zackdenfeld.com/2008/05/30/panopticonfidence-performing-for-against-the-camera/" target="_blank"> conspiratorial spreadsheets</a> in efforts to identify the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_crossing" target="_blank">zero crossings</a> of the obliterati</p>
<p>In the Pacific Northwest, obliteration cycles, churning always onward like an unstable volcano.  Key frames of reference include perhaps the <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bigfoot" target="_blank">Bigfoot</a>, or at least an unshaven <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Db_cooper" target="_blank">D.B. Cooper</a>. In either case, a <em>panopticonscientious objector</em>, an interloper of and within vernacular information architectures. Agents inciting modular narratives, always on the cusp of pattern recognition, and nonetheless are prone to hideously recombine. Mercurial manovers bested by the elusive obliterati, an obliteratarium is almost certainly doomed from the get-go.  A <a href="http://www.nearfuturelaboratory.com/2006/01/31/ekos-and-theory-objects-or-—-why-do-i-blog-this/" target="_blank">theory object </a>with a death wish.</p>
