Best Sentence #85

The massively multiplayer ornament is the aesthetic reflex of the collectivity to which ubiquitous computing aspires.

  1. Hi MachSirius! Actually, yes, you're right, this sentence is intentionally elusive. :) I posted this particular sentence because I knew it would seem oddly worded out of context. In fact, it is structured precisely after a famous sentence by film theorist Kracauer, who coined the term "mass ornament". He wrote: "The mass ornament is the aesthetic reflex of the rationality to which the system of capitalist reproduction aspires." Readers who have experience in the area about which I am writing are likely to recognize this sentence as the tribute it is. To others, it may seem slightly awkward or intentionally obtuse. That's very good! It is intended as a playful reminder to those readers who have been seeking to change this blog into something it's not. Its purpose is not to elucidiat or entertain or educate with sentences anyone can wander over and immediately grok. It's a surrealist cut-up of an academic disseration and as such works at a more unconscious level. :)
