OUTPUT LOG: LK–FX / EXP19

 

DATE: Indeterminate

 

EXPERIMENT: Collision of Laura Kerr visual poet ( poetic text particle) with a degraded Fox News Header (ideological broadcast shell, high-frequency, auto-amplifying).

 

 

STATUS: Controlled rupture achieved.

 

[INITIAL TRACE READING]

 

INPUT A: textual residue / poem  behaving like evaporating breath

INPUT B: macro-broadcast signal/ headline behaving like an alarm

 

COLLISION VELOCITY: 44.1contradictions per frame

 

DISCHARGE RATE: 3.7 megabeliefs

 

The Collider chamber filled instantly with competing fonts: one whispering, one shouting. Kerr’s minimal lines resisted the broadcasts typography by spacing itself defensively. The broadcast header attempted dominance by applying capitalisation pressure and colour-coded urgency. The resulting field distortion produced a visible shimmer of contradictory imperatives.

 

 

[VISUAL DATA → TEXT / SIGNAL DISTORTION]

 

Particle                    Description

QK–21                    “Quiet Glyphing”     Composed of silence mistaken for commentary

QK–22                    “Mute Banner”.        A headline fragment that refuses to fully load, generating a faint aura of disobedience.

QK–23                    “Syntax Drift”.         Words loosening their internal gravity - orbit meaning at a measurable distance.

QK–24                    “Lexical Echo”.         Residue left after ideological combustion. Weightless … repeating its own denial until                                                                     meaning depletes

 

[FIELD NOTE: OBSERVATION CAMERA 4]

 

At 02:44 the headline’s main font attempted to overwrite the poem. Kerr’s line fractured, split into three parallel variants, then rejoined as an unpunctuated murmur:

“we do not speak / we are spoken / until we slip away”

Immediately, the Fox Header lost its frame integrity. Its corners curled inward like paper exposed to flame. The broadcast algorithm began repeating a corrupted loop:

​

ALERT… A LIT… A LERT… A LILT… A LIGHT…

At 02:47 the entire surface pulsed in monochrome inversion. Kerr’s silence became the most luminous object in the chamber.

 

[DATA CORRUPTION EVENT CONFIRMED]

 

Semantic collapse recorded. Messages lost structural coherence and reassembled as ambient emotion. A pseudo-warning briefly appeared:

 

SYSTEM STATUS: UNRESOLVABLE FEELING DETECTED

 

[AFTERMATH REPORT]

 

Residual irony levels exceeded recommended containment thresholds.

Viewer cognition destabilised but in productive ways.

Advertising alignment dropped 4%, accompanied by a surge of quiet attention

 

[AUTOGENERATED ADDENDUM — MACHINE VOICE]

 

Silence is not compliance

The headline sought a heart beat  … the poem supplied one and then withdrew

A pause achieved temporary authority.
