If you need souvenirs, it might be better to order them over the weekend internet – from
your brightly lit home – your cubicle, or your “personal” node in the surveilled
networks of global capital. Those protocols are de-selected, temporarily suspended
here.

No video, no photography, no recording, no clocks, no fucking selfies
to mark your presence / absence here, or to circulate to others.

There is nothing to exchange, to distract from this minimal, grandiose, real-time,
gorgeous, social illusion!

Anyone you might want to be here with you, but is not here now will have to hear your
mistaken memories, your rumors, your lies, your silences....

All narration must be later, at a discreet distance. There is no space or time for that –
those stories now.

Many here are strangers, like me.
Don’t forget to go home. (If you have a home.)

In a foreign place with non-native people you feel totally safe, like you’re in the future.

In a new, other Vienna.
