A poetic reading of Cathy Henenburg's photograms by Lloyd Godman

 

Ipodology

In the grid of confinement twist and tangle lines of communication
xrays of Ipodology scroll in curving motions across a space of interaction
this arabesque knot needs deciphering
one foot jammed in contemporary cultures doorway
the other locked in a the past
enables limited surveillance
a sense of adaption emerges
evolution of electronic species beyond the dolls of boredom
whose bodies defy the gravity of real life
float in the dream of cyber space
like Titanic life boats in icy waters
with thin lines still attached to a sinking hulk
where the currents of culture
tear at the safety lines of history
the dream is mysterious and crazy
the reality crazier
