**\*\*The past and the present paradoxically coexist; they function simultaneously.**

**\*\*The past lives in time. The only access we have to the past is through a leap into virtuality.** 

**\*\*The past is outside of us (we are in it rather than it is being located in us). We must place ourselves in it if we are to have recollections, memory images;**

**\*\*Virtuality does not yet have a time. It is that which is to be made rather than foreseen or predicted.**

**\*\*The future, like the past, is virtual. It is rendered potential, through and by the past without the direct mediation or control of the present. The future is that openness of becoming that enables divergence from what exists.**

**\*\*The future is that which overwrites or restructures the virtual that is the past. The future that emerges is only one of the lines of virtuality from the past.** 

**\*\*The past is the condition for infinite futures.**

Dan Romero appeared to me in a dream last night, and told me that he just returned from the year 2024, where his “sufficiently decentralized social media protocol” started to gain significant attention from big crypto media players, but that he had hit a snag because he was caught in a lie when claiming that he didn’t poll 10 early users of his protocol about a bankless channel name alone, but about a user squatting 10+ known brands and not using these channels, then claiming to offer the user a refund for all the channels - but the user shared screenshots of only being offered a refund for the bankless channel, thus bringing into question the veracity of Dan’s claim.

**To be clear, I have no idea what any of these means**, but I thought it would be good to document this here on the Subsocial blockchain, soon to be secured by Kusama.

Watching the video below was the best 1hr 17min I’ve spent on this platform so far. “Digital spaces are not a commons.” It’s worth thinking more deeply about the impact of monetization on online spaces, particularly when you don’t own the platform you are creating on. How might we become more active in the curation of the online information we swim in on a daily basis? And many more elegant questions and observations - just watch the video. Side note: I actually liked the Glory Box remix. Also, colonizing academia.edu for the win!

So I heard you like being bribed for engagement.

I once got lost in *The Museum of Jurassic Technology* and found myself in a dimly lit tomb-like room filled with nothing but disused or broken computer hard drives. I wondered if it was a shrine for damned data. Or perhaps it was meant as a reminder that the digital realm is actual material, an ever accumulating pile of e-waste. And then I saw the note. “Take one and bring it back to life.” And so I did. For better or worse remains to be seen.

Once I was back at **The Lab**, I hooked my newly found hard drive friend up to an oscilloscope. After a bit of tuning, I was able to see three phase-locked waveforms appear when I spun the metal plate on the drive, using the motor and bearing that would have previously driven the plate when searching for digital files, but in reverse to generate a small amount of current. It suddenly occurred to me that I may be able to harvest these low voltage waveforms to create a magical machine.

![](https://ipfs.subsocial.network/ipfs/bafybeiflbkqvsxrdgtasaldijd3jxwqn6qban6pgw5vlzlefuxjuqktuye?type=.jpg)

Several weeks later my zombie hard drive was integrated into my volatile assemblage of music making materials. *This is when things got weird.*

![](https://ipfs.subsocial.network/ipfs/bafybeicyfpbs562z2oxz2jitgpq57qslpyr4yfvioyr2imnhzgxvsft6qe?type=.jpg)

The hard drive began to take on a life of its own, becoming increasingly unpredictable in its behaviour. Creating sounds that at times were reminiscent of the wind in the trees, but often with an underlying note of anguish. I iterated on the design of the machine, making the hard drive an attractive red case, with the hope that this would make it (or them?) feel more at peace. This initially seemed successful, but as time passed the wind in the trees started to resemble the sound of a whisper in a language I could not quite place. Was it Whulshootseed? Or maybe Klallam? Hard to say, but almost certainly something from the Sailshan language family.

Did I hear that right? Indeed, *what is in that river?* And what is on the other side?

![](https://ipfs.subsocial.network/ipfs/bafybeifr74fj52q7hwkq6v6rq5sb6sztqir2cyvp5xs4gh4npwh6e6xaaa?type=.jpeg)

And so I found myself, traveling through space and time, with my hard drive friend in its fetching red case, performing together in and across unfamiliar landscapes, accompanied by fellow travellers not unlike ourselves. We were often happy in these times and places, but never fully at ease.

[This video link](https://youtu.be/z7O8UjDmVdo) will take you to an account of my first conversation with the hard drive, which formed part of a larger musical exorcism. Listen at your own risk.
