'The work of Japanese novelist Kenji Siratori poses the reader with a contentious question: at what point does literary experimentalism transcend the circumference of literacy? Siratori’s work evokes “the coming to consciousness of an artificial intelligence” via “a devastating loop of language” (Blood Electric book jacket). Indeed, his novels are a conflation of computer code with anatomical, medical, and technological language. So, Siratori’s fiction is generically cyberpunk; yet, extreme in both form and content. Siratori’s writing evokes Joyce’s Finnegans Wake and the cut-up experiments of William S. Burroughs thus placing Siratori along an experimental trajectory. However, while the work of Joyce is semantically fecund and Burroughs wishes to reveal the underlying conspiracy of language, Siratori moves away from reconceptualizing meaning towards a disorienting, often violent, affect.
'The emotional experience of “reading” Siratori demonstrates literary meaninglessness as an analogue to the consumer’s relationship with information technology. His work considers the biases of information technology in an analogous manner that Joyce and Burroughs ask about the biases of language. Here, agency and literacy are conflated in an intense way: if we are unable to acknowledge the biases of information technology, we are incapable of possessing agency in late-capitalism. American media theorist Douglas Rushkoff recently suggested that “Facebook is set up to make us think of ourselves in terms of our ‘likes’ and an iPad is set up to make us start paying for media and stop producing it ourselves.” Amidst all the garbled nonsense of his writing, Siratori’s metaphor is as lucid as it is timely: the anxiety of reading asemic cyberpunk is analogous to the consumer’s illiteracy regarding programming and information technology. As literary experimentation is pushed to absolute limits, new languages of code and programming suggest the dawn of new arts.
'Siratori's psychedelic style, mixed with its idiosyncratic (and definedly Japanese!) use of the English language, recommends a reading in which the reader is rendered the real author of the book. The theme of the awaking artificial intelligence demands us to be replaced in the mind of what is awakened, including the noise of growing, learning, forgetting and remembering, in short, acquiring a self-referentially evolving self. In Siratori's own words: "In my writing, the language cell is distorted by the infinite hyperlink of the synapse -a new language is the conceptual pain-- all the data act as the hardweb character as if I dissect subjective writing, I'm striking the nude brain to a screen. This is the practice that hardweb creatures were disclosed". In order to read it, one furthermore has to do away with everything that qualifies as fiction, science or otherwise. Siratori presents us the art of the 21 st century word, with its typical references to the multimedia embedding of (post?)modern communication.
'As Siratori himself states, "my writing was born with the horizon of techno -- I'm advocating nerve physics here -- I process violence and sex as the reality of data -- I take a view of my conceptual web with nerve experiences. The writing is linked to how I game this expanded hardweb for me -- such a method that touches to my brain more cruelly." His work is an experiment with noise and complexity, and the necessity of its reduction. The reader should therefore be especially attentive to what he remembers of the text, what he perceives to be the text's meaningful (although I doubt that word is in place here) qualities. More than anything else, this implies a sensitivity for the transformative aspects of the new media. What is the meaning of this writing, what is its truth? If one asks Siratori: "TRUTH--data trash in the brain universe--nerve violence and nerve sex—we scan reality with the HIV form." Apparently, he has accepted the epistemological consequences of his writing. This digital narrative is no more than a synapse of an endlessly evolving web of communications, the meaning of which is ever harder to discern... Read if you dare.'-- collaged

Let’s start the only way I know how. Can you talk me through your novel Blood Electric – describe the book to me in your own words.
Kenji Siratori: My writing was born with the horizon of techno — I’m advocating nerve physics here — I process violence and sex as the reality of data – I take a view of my conceptual web with nerve experiences. The writing is linked to how I game this expanded hardweb for me — such a method that touches to my brain more cruelly. In my writing the language cell is able to be distorted by the infinite hyperlink of the synapse — ‘a new language’ is the conceptual pain – all the data act as the hardweb character as if I dissect subjective writing, I’m striking the nude brain to a screen. This is the practice that hardweb creatures were disclosed. Blood Electric is presenting the aspect of a genetic hardweb clearly — the nerve cells that run through our gene dub — is the strategic object that our body codes erodes the world – ‘literature is networking to our gene dub’
You say “Writing born with the horizon of techno” – Are you saying that dance music and dance culture is an influence on your writing?
KS: Yes–my writing is an industrial human body emulator–virus for the Genomics strategy. Rave that was turned hypertext is body-encoded.
Furthermore, would you say your writing was narcotic (in the way that, say, Coleridge or de Quincey or Burroughs or countless others wrote while “under the influence”)?
KS: Vital browser of nerve system is opened–language cell spins to genomewarable–nomads of the spiral form occur from my writing.
You talk about “new writing” – aren’t you just dressing up what the modernists did at the start of the twentieth century, a method Burroughs did something to update but which is in essence “stream of consciousness”, albeit stream of consciousness infiltrated by technology and html code etc?
KS: I advocate a hypermodern literature to pop culture–it means the invasion to the gene code–and to update our abolition world code–because the characteristic of 20th century style ‘hardweb’ is a struggle. However my language cell is streaming the genomewarable struggle as 21st century style ‘hardweb’.
Who are you writing for? Who do you imagine your reader to be? Would you admit there was an element of impenetrability to “Blood Electric”?
KS: I upload the focus of the nerve system–everything is to contact our language cells that were exposed to gene terrorism–I manufacture the literary plug-in of a vital browser.
Like a lot of experimental fiction, you expect your readers to work pretty hard – should reading be this difficult?
KS: I expect my readers to scan the language cell–to cause the cracking of the gene corroded–to stream the change to the human body emulator.
I think we need to define terms more clearly: what do you mean by “industrial human body emulator”? What do you mean by the term “genomewarable”? What do you mean by the phrase “the invasion to the gene code . . .”?
KS:“industrial human body emulator”–it functions as a literary hacker in our genetic network. . . “genomewarable”–the hyperlinking genetic information–the genetic engineering liquidity of hardweb. . . “the invasion to the gene code”–so language cells in gene dub are produced by the genetic ‘struggle=hardweb’.
There is a sense, I think, that you hide behind coded responses – you don’t clearly articulate answers – do you sublimate the intimacy of your SELF behind cyber doublespeak?
KS: So I cause to escape SELF of the spiral mechanism to positive–it is the language cell sequence that was approximated to nerve transmission.
What is the TRUTH – for you – of what you say – yes, you have to work to uncover the meaning of your book (and the answers to these questions) but, having worked, what is there? Is it worthwhile, this “streaming of the genomewarable struggle . . .”?
KS: TRUTH–data trash in the brain universe–nerve violence and nerve sex—we scan reality with the HIV form.
On the one hand, you’ve got STYLE – your style, this “new” style – but on the other you’ve got storytelling – the importance of telling a story in a way that can be understood (maybe not right away, but eventually) – are you telling a story in Blood Electric, or is telling a story outmoded?
KS: I go across the digital narrative in the human body–Blood Electric is such software that captures “the digital narrative in the human body” and is archive that connects my digital narrative to your digital narrative.
Who is Kenji Siratori – man or machine?!?!
KS: He is one hardweb that hyperlinked to our genetic information . . .

p.s. Hey. ** Scunnard, Hi, J. I saw that Lizz's project net its funding goal! That's so great! I liked 'The Commercial Album' too, at least at the time, for the same reasons. My memory is that the last thing of theirs I liked a semi-ton was 'Duck Stab'. Way back. Bratmobile, man, you are coaxing some memories out of wherever they've been comatose. I don't even own a Pansy Division 7" and I was, like, the target audience, I suppose. Nice guys. I met them once. I've got a seriously rare and expensive no doubt 7" collection, mostly late 70s/early 80s, back in LA that I really should either sell off or worship. My vinyl collection died pretty much as soon as the CD happened. Apart from largely Pollard-related vinyl-only releases, etc. Lure of the new and all of that. Although it took me years to get a cell phone, weirdly. Electronic music staples. Hm, I'd need to think and maybe even do a post. I like the idea of going backwards maybe. Check out the stuff in my new music gig posts maybe and wander into the roots? I'll think about classics, though. ** Steevee, One would imagine, yes, FB being the outrage hair trigger that it is. I don't understand why transgender is so hard to understand. I don't get that fear at all. I missed the new Dardennes. It opened here right after Cannes, yeah. Films that play Cannes very frequently open here a few days later. I decided to wait until I could see it subtitled. I'll def. see it. ** Thomas Moronic, Hi! Aw, thanks about my Halloween trolling. Infectiousness is the blog's goal, I guess. Grandieux directing a film of 'Period' is just about the best idea I've ever heard. His sound is crazy amazing, and, I may have mentioned this before, but Zac and I got extremely lucky and had the sound guy for 'Un Lac' do the sound on the first scene in our film. And he was genius, for sure. The new novel will probably share a text that was the text for 'The Pyre' but in a quite revised version. It was originally written for my disastrous George Miles novel, and it's the only survivor from that. And I reworked it heavily for 'The Pyre', and now it's heavily reworked again. That text has been through a lot. Bon day! ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Yeah, the Grandieux thing is amazing and nerve-wracking. I have to get back to him today with an answer, which, gulp, will be yes, I'm pretty sure. If you were coming as Bernard, it would be like coming as the Invisible Man given his ever-lengthening neglect of us, God love him. ** Kier, Hi!! That 'Terminator' costume is awesome, and it looks like it hurt a lot, which I guess makes it very successful. My face stung just looking at it. Yay! I love your rainy work day. I would start, Grandieux-wise, with 'Un Lac'. Or maybe 'Sombre' if you can't find 'UL'. Yeah, the sound in his films is insane, and, as I told Thomas, Grandieux's sound guy did the sound for the first scene in Zac's and my film, and that was such a coup. I don't know how Grandieux came around to thinking of me. I guess I'll find out. Jonathan is in Patrick's new film, one of the three main stars, and he's, of course, super great in it. Yesterday ... oh, Jonathan Mayhew took me to this fantastic English language bookstore here on the Left Bank that I had never heard of until a week ago. Berkeley Books. It's really, really good. Second hand/new. I bought four books: Fanny Howe's 'Holy Smoke', Queneau's 'Pierrot Mon Ami', Robert Coover's 'Spanking the Maid', and Pinget's 'Mahu or the Material' (as a gift). Anyway, it's my new favorite place. Then we had a coffee, and I lead him to my favorite Parisian patisserie, Saduharu Aoki, where we bought pastries and chocolates. It was big fun. I worked on the Gisele thing, and a wee bit on the novel. I made headway into planing Zac's and my NYC/Iceland trip, and I have to finalize and book that today. I got the new Aphex Twin, and I listened to it once, and I love it. And that got me listening to a lot of music, and I made a gig post of what I listened to. The rest was the usual, I think. So, not a bad day. How was Wednesday? Did it rain? I think it's going to rain here any second. ** _Black_Acrylic, You should be very proud. I should have included your Savile victim costume in the post, clearly. Mm, passable means I think I'll skip 'Pride'. Cool about the soundtrack. Pete Shelley! I was just listening to 'XL1' the other day. ** Misanthrope, Oh, I hope the move back to Maryland happens. That video was fascinating. I had no pre-set mental image of her, but, even so, she wasn't at all what I was imagining anyway. She's intense. Even her eyebrows are intense. Seems like that guy is going to be in jail for quite a long time, but I guess people do have romantic relationships with imprisoned people. Sounds promising anyway. Tentative whew! ** Sypha, Hi. I'm friends on FB with Steve Severin, and he's been posting about those reissues. For me, the last totally great Siousxie album is 'Juju'. I thought there was some really strong stuff on the 'A Kiss in the Dreamhouse' through 'Hyaena' albums, but I don't think they're as strong overall. From 'Through the Looking Glass' forwards, I didn't care anymore. But those later albums were their commercial peak, or the first couple of them were, so I guess the reissuing makes sense in that way. Pride swallowed there for sure, ha ha. ** Rewritedept, Hi, Chris. Thanks re: the costumery. I don't do costumes, no. I don't know, just no interest in redoing myself up like that, I don't know why. Yeah, maybe about Swans, but I've seen them a few times, just not since the reconstitution. I would go, but I'm more into seeing Lust for Youth/Croatian Amor since I've never seen them. My favorite Simpsons episode? Wow, I don't know. The one where Lisa takes LSD? The film festival one? I would have to explore my memories for a while to choose. That's okay re: Skype. I'm super busy too. We'll sort it at some point. ** Hyemin K, Hi. I would think it would have to battery operated, but I don't know. Good luck with your work! ** Jonathan, Hey, bud! That was mega-loads of fun yesterday, man, thank you! Yes, that matcha roulade cake is sublime, right? Now you know why I was making all those undignified noises when I was eating it. I hope your pal got home safely, and, yeah, let's go do and see stuff and hang out again extremely soon! ** Done. I haven't done anything on Kenji Siratori in a long time, and he's certainly worth thinking about, of that I am sure. So I did him today. See you tomorrow.
