RND/ imagine a super generic [1] corporate stock rat galley
to consider what such expressions say/ what values ey signify – political blandscape of hyperreal corporate stock photos so generally generic ir stunning obviousness hurts
so generally devoid of artistry being so corporate in ir unabashed consumerist presentation ey feel oddly undead/ disconcertingly strange – if strange simply means boring
with mostly super flat wilfully uninteresting lighting composition/ garish color schemes/ dim constantly smiling idiots who pose for ey – eg especially vile violently happy middling class couples – wow what career choice
with ir misogynistic portrayal of female bodies in stock roles/ consider corporate stock photos real digital pits of dull flat rat – now watermarked with stock symbol as warning/ careful not to stare too long into corporate stock photography void – for frozen synthetic soul of dull plastic stupefaction stares back out in hyper apathetic return
such images satirically remixed from cough large torrents of images readily available online

HR Giger Money: “Xenomorphic Null”
Virtual H.R Giger currency note Xenomorphic Null.
6144 × 2757 .jpg
To consider the idea of H.R Giger currency – a darkly hyperreal unit of symbolic exchange in a Gigeresque anti-universe that one always pays, precisely in order to remain forever in (cosmically unwanted) debt.
Note that there’s only one Giger currency note in circulation – a Xenomorphic Null or x∅ /pronounced like word “so” with a Z – as in “Xo what happens next?”
conceptually worth anywhere from -∞ minus infinity to 0/1 (zero/one).
Colour scheme for Giger currency note as follows:
