“Shackled
between Gold and Forgetting:
Night.
Both grabbed for her.
Both she let have their way.
Lay,
you too now lay down what wants to a-
rise at dawn along with the days:
the word, star-overflown,
sea-drenched.
To each, the word.
To each the word that sang to him,
when the pack jumped him from behind—
To each the word, that sang to him and froze.
To her, to night,
the star-overflown, the sea-drenched,
to her, the word silence won,
whose blood did not curdle when the poison fang
pierced its syllables.
To her, the word silence won.”
Paul Celan, from “Argumentum e Silentio", trans. Pierre Joris

“Artists no longer undertake their own research but download, assemble, and recontextualize existing materials in a desultory updating of appropriation and the readymade.
What results is a conflation: Search becomes research. The difference is subtle but important. Searching is the preliminary stage of looking for something via a search engine, “Googling.” Research proper involves analysis, evaluation, and a new way of approaching a problem. Search involves the adaptation of one’s ideas to the language of “search terms”—preexisting concepts most likely to throw up results—whereas research (both online and offline) involves asking fresh questions and elaborating new terminologies yet to be recognized by the algorithm."
