A techno-fiction novel on the uneasy desire for anti-rationalist ideas on the internet. Taking off along the grotesque evolutionary curve of the internet, this novel by Mochu brings together Japanese otaku subcultures, Hindu mythology, darknet highways, ultraviolent cyberpunk forums, and renegade university departments to forge a transnational narrative that trips through the incompatible fantasies of rationality and civilization, with wormholes through ancient tales, recent cinema, plain-wrong art histories, and pirated philosophical reflections.
The novel opens with a case of abduction in India. The operations of a far-right publishing house are interrupted by extraterrestrial influences with political intent. The attack on a science-fiction writer at a beach in Goa seems connected to a bot-propelled puzzle revolving around the defacement of Medieval temple relics elsewhere. A detective specialized in interstellar sociology finds clues that point to a transgalactic anarchist group with ties to online Posadist forums, while Eurasian political theory circulates as noise-objects in Goa's beachside clubs. Meanwhile, occultist explorers in the sci-fi writer's story find that the legendary homeland for Hinduism in the Arctic has become infested by "Gradients of Hegelian Unhappiness" by way of an invasive subzero entity buried in deep snow. The detective's investigations eventually turn metaphysical, settling on impossible solutions spanning the far reaches of outer space.
Reactionary behavior on the internet, having spawned numerous retroactive origin stories for itself, takes on a tentacular presence across diverse political spectrums, time periods, and cultural contexts, giving the impression of a vast and tangled entity with distributed intelligence. Fatally fused by a common hatred for the legacies of the Enlightenment, popular manifestations go by terms like "alt-right" and "neo-reaction," powered by nerdy forums and blog posts across the web. Stationing conspiracy theory itself as the central form of thinking, acting, and concept-making in the twenty-first century,
Bezoar Delinqxenz is a mixtape simulation of these entanglements at the borderlands of fiction, insanity, and political emancipation.
《一部關於網路上對反理性思想不安渴望的科技小說》
這部由Mochu創作的小說，沿著網路的怪異進化曲線展開，融合了日本御宅文化、印度神話、暗網高速公路、超暴力的賽博朋克論壇以及叛逆的大學系所，編織出一個跨國敘事，穿梭於理性與文明的不可兼容幻想之中，並透過古老故事、近期電影、錯誤的藝術歷史以及盜版的哲學反思來形成蟲洞。
小說以印度的一起綁架案件開場。一家極右派出版社的運作被具有政治意圖的外星影響所打斷。在果阿海灘上對一位科幻作家的襲擊似乎與一個圍繞著中世紀寺廟遺物毀損的機器人推動的謎題有關。一位專門研究星際社會學的偵探發現了指向一個與線上Posadist論壇有關的跨銀河無政府主義團體的線索，而歐亞政治理論則在果阿海灘的俱樂部中作為噪音物件流通。與此同時，科幻作家故事中的神秘探索者發現，印度教的傳說故鄉在北極已被一種埋藏在深雪中的入侵性零下實體所侵擾，這種實體被稱為「黑格爾不幸的漸變」。偵探的調查最終轉向形而上學，尋求跨越外太空遙遠邊界的不可思議解決方案。
網路上的反動行為，為自己產生了無數的追溯起源故事，跨越多樣的政治光譜、時間時期和文化背景，呈現出一種龐大而錯綜複雜的存在，擁有分散的智慧。由於對啟蒙時代遺產的共同仇恨而致命融合，流行的表現形式如「替代右派」和「新反應」等，透過網路上的小眾論壇和部落格文章而得以推動。將陰謀論本身作為二十一世紀思考、行動和概念創造的中心形式，《Bezoar Delinqxenz》是一部在虛構、瘋狂和政治解放邊界的混音帶模擬這些糾纏的作品。
Mochu works with video and text arranged as installations, lectures, and publications. Techno-scientific fictions feature prominently in his practice, often overlapping with instances or figures drawn from art history and philosophy. Recent projects have explored mad geologies, psychedelic subcultures, and Indian Modernist painting.
