da viscosidade III

"The sticky mirror demonstrates the truth of what phenomenology calls 'ingenuous' or 'sincerity'. Objects are what they are, in the sense that no matter what we are aware of, or how, there they are, impossible to shake off. In the midst of irony, there you are, being ironic. Even mirrors are what they are, no matter what they reflect. In its sincerity, reality envelopes us like a film of oil. The mirror becomes a 'substance', an object. Hyperobjects push the reset button on sincerity, just as Neo discovers that the mirror no longer distances his image from him in a nice, aesthetically manageable way, but sticks to him."
Timothy Morton, Hyperobjects
