| Questions and Answers based on this photograph:

Q: What were you doing when you materialized this photograph?
A: I was listening to news about planet Earth on TV, including statistical data on violence, urban and rural, persistent numbers of everyday civil guerrilla warfare.

Q: Which TV channel is interesting to stop by to watch?
A: I'm not from the generation that watched just one channel on TV for entire life or almost entire life, that generation is from the time when there was no remote control and there was only one TV in the living room for the whole family and it was the father and the mother who managed which channel to watch on TV, that generation comes from a time in which the table for advertising on TV was designed by days of the week and times, from the point of view of the people who created that table it would be on Friday night or on Saturday night the days of the week when the family would be gathered in the living room in front of the TV, therefore it would be easier for the advertiser to memorize their logo in the public, but from my point of view the story is dynamic and that dynamic did not last my whole life, and it was easily possible to detect the contradiction between the main topic on TV and which company supported that by advertising in the main opening or in the break, therefore the situation supported the opposition. I watch on TV what I consider interesting without having just one subject as my main interest, when I want I change the channel, and so on, but on TV violence is everyday, so cinematic violence for documentary violence I park sporadically on the channel ID, it is a basic channel about collisions in life in society, but from my point of view, TV is not the main medium.

Q: What is your favorite cartoon currently?
A: (From the north to) South Park. Reciprocally.

Q: Is it true that you made a pact with The Devil and stood between light and darkness?

capitalist crimes

In the TV news there are at least two relevant global armed conflicts taking place, Russia x Ukraine, more distant in chronology, and more recently Hammas x Israel, about the latter it is possible to mention as guerrilla crimes x War Crimes, also as terrorism x Terrorism, or guerrilla terrorism x State Terrorism, Cuba is apparently forgotten, it is as if it were an island, not a desert with little humidity, even The Rolling Stones recently appeared on TV performing there, or somewhere else in some America that is labeled as Latin, with some intention of it being Central, perhaps having a can of beer at the end of the week I see Latin, and even Central, in another way, but in a time of self-proclamation of representation, brown supremacism and others pejorative isms, I interpret all of this in a more realistic way, the worse the better is worse for everyone, bad, evil.

Changing the subject?

When I saw and heard the group~band New Model Army (NMA) live not so far from here for the first and last time, I didn't witness anyone being executed by gunfire, nor people being blown up, nor was anyone kidnapped at the event, nor was anyone raped, even less dismembered, there was no violence in the live performance, it was a performance without great sophistication in terms of lighting and also in audio, as if I were at the band rehearsal, but with a little more resources, it is useful to mention this, it is also useful to mention that the band~group went through difficulties that would be more than enough for the band to never exist again, something that didn't happen. I went to that presentation alone because I wouldn't have been able to pay the ticket for one more person, for this economic reason I didn't buy a more recent CD from them before the pandemic, they had only imported, in currency conversion prices very far from my new reality in a time of neoliberalism and neocolonialism. At that time the TV was an optional, not the stereo.
