Decades of Confusion Feed the Insect: Decades of Confusion Feed the Insect is a sixteen year old project (as of 2011) undertaken with no rhyme or reason other than to loosely document the passing of the world by and through me (and you, us, and them) as I (and all) saw and see it, and of the mechanisms by which it has been detected. Properly understood, the zine exists as the viewer imagines it to be, written in electrical zig-zag in a hand of solid nervous energy drawn from a limitless ocean of incomprehensible never-abating total impenetrable mystery.
