Diaphanisation
Few things are more pressing than the improvement of investigative techniques.
What enzymes & immersion will render transparent the corpus of an enspecimened quotidian? What will stain any no-longer-hidden structures? Its organs? The entrails of the world are blue, bones unbloody red. Filaments that tether everything might be trace-visible & in places bits & meat pieces could be black & like writing.

“To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.”
—Kurt Vonnegut (via tulletulle)
