Long before netflix owned the Egyptian theater
and before hbo requested your biometrics
before copyright trolling and jump cuts

there was light, glass, and ecstasis

the communal experience of making a film
or watching a show
or congregating
is not a byproduct
or a mere convenience
it's the key

the containment and isolation
of the individual
as propogated by algorithmic viewing habits
and machine learning
is not accidental
it's strategy

If you'd like to orient yourself to the prevailing ideology of a given culture
study the medium of mythology
the way it's crafted
and how it's absorbed

are you meeting in the ampitheatre?
are you jacking into cyberspace?
or are you alone
mesmerized by a surveillance device

the first thing we learned to do was see

myth is the mirror
you are the lens
god is the light

film
is
worship
