emergence. EMERGENCE
the sleeping bot of the emerAgency is rebooted by one of its key terms.

The new consultancy prepares a testimonial for Princess Die, the
contempory case for the generation of post-tragedy (the testimonial is to
the internet what tragedy was to theater).

Foreground: closeup--
an armored Mercedes, totalled, showing the results of impacting a
concrete pillar at a speed of 100mph.
it is DAS DING. the sublime object, evoking that which is outside
symbolization.
The event is foretold: a place is open for any celebrity who dies
anomalously.
The second death, that is the one in question (the one that may not be
killed).
