Electrate Zelig

ABOUT

50 Cent dubbed over Jehovah Witness' infomercial on ending masturbation (the Lamella workout)

The link to the phallus, to the lamella, libido, shi, and how it is passed on as a continuous flow (ideally) -or-we-attempt-to, is driven by desire in such a way that, if its interpretation gets twisted through the gaze of the Other, it can be taken all out of alignment, ensuring the propensity of someone of something else's desire but not one that may really benefit you. Developing your own metaphysics in this current state of unilateral Electrate potentiality is needed in order to be equal to the Other, which at the current moment is social media and gov't influence (probably).

In looking through Lacan's exploration into the Lamella, the ultra-flat organism ie: the libido, SHI, the thing that passes onto others, I searched for accessible video that could be used as an example of a social media Objet a, in this case this video. This mashup video/overdubb and probable speed sync work obliterates the original message stated above with a song that survives in its nature to embed itself onto many social Electrate objects. This song absorbs the imagery which results in a refined and embedded flow that belongs to the Other.
