The Pillars of Creation don't exist anymore

"...I know that when we look up to the sky we are looking at the past—seconds, minutes, years,

centuries and millennia away. The Universe is the most amazing of the time machines.

But the fact that I understand all this doesn't matter. Every time I think about it, I experience

the same sensation. One of awe and humility. And also of wonderment, thinking that my own existence

and the existence of the people around me, the people I loved, the people I love, and the people

I will love, can't be seen yet from the vantage point of those pillars. If there's a spaceship around

those space coordinates using magic telescopes capable of focusing on Earth and seeing details,

they wouldn't know of our existence unless they wait for 7,000 years. For them, right now, we don't exist.

That's when I realize that we truly stand alone in the middle of this huge storm that is the Universe.

And every time I think about that, my friends, that's when my mind and my heart explode..."

John Foxx & Karborn & Barnbrook

John Foxx's B-Movie (Ballardian Video Neuronica) was recorded and assembled for a cut-up movie

by Foxx and Karborn inspired by the ideas and work of British writer J.G Ballard. Screened as part of

Brighton's Cine-City festival in late 2012, the pair presented 'a film and sound seance manifesting

J.G Ballard neurones. Mobilised by ultracolour and inframusic, anatomised hallucinogenetics

and proximity psychopathagens.' Barnbrook's artwork for the album features images created by Karborn.
