Julu and Jennifer

Think of Jennifer-Julu, Julu-Jennifer as system resonances, interferences or viruses occasioned by intervention. Their psychoanalytics tangles on and off the Net - as strange attractors, they shape discursive forma- tions, nodes of theoretical focus. Similar to "deconstruction" (Derrida's Letter to a Japanese Friend"), Jennifer and Julu fissure as contested sites, split or sputter across applications, networks, texts. Subject and body are at stake, problematized through the specificities of unfocused language (body-html for example). Now, with local linux, Julu and Jenni- fer have accounts, occur as intrasystem actants, communicating as well with my non-local ISP and the Net. Below, sendmail once again.
What interests me here is the system calling itself, either directly or through the shell, looping back through Panix, avatars at both ends of the vector (community nowhere, messages spit into cyberspace, displayed through xterm cut-and-paste).
