Almost Completely True
Kevin Steffensen
Uneasy late-nineties art rock: badges, rating faces, and captchas accept an almost-you, while something that would not fit the question surfaces for a second and vanishes.
Brittle clean guitars, glitches, and ironic falsetto on Almost completely true stage legibility’s quiet violence.
Brittle clean guitars, glitches, and ironic falsetto on Almost completely true stage legibility’s quiet violence. A badge flickers red then green within tolerance; lunchtime feedback has no face for I do not know, so fine wins; consent checkboxes proceed until something goes wrong. When Incentives Become the Moral Language and When Interpretation No Longer Matters verify metric and procedure theater. Compression-loses-the-person, stale-representation, and machine-perspective match the camera that wants expression removed. The remainder that almost fit inside the question is the After Certainty signal the system cannot record.
