From The Lumiere Brothers

who produced the first public film, via John Logie Baird
to Andy Warhol and well beyond-with 'the digital revolution'
the mass creation and distribution of repetitive moving images
has charged forward via marketing, telling people what to want
and selling them more of what they already have.
Such that all is now image on repeat. And if all the images
that have whizzed past us were stilled for us to examine
then they would die. Because all these images are merely
restlessness in which kitsch hypnotises with it's motion.

  1. Lumière brothers.
    Lumière is also, felicitously (or do I mean neo-post-ironically ?), French for light.
