pages, starting here, are for work of all kinds based around the cause
and effects of entropy. The triggering of this being the term ‘KIPPLE’
coined, by the Science Fiction author Philip K. Dick, to describe the
effect of entropy (i.e. what an object becomes when subjected to that
force).</p>
<p>John Isidore
(who transformed into J. F. Sebastian in Blade Runner)‘…lived
alone in (a) deteriorating, blind building of a thousand uninhabited apartments
which like all its counterparts, fell day by day, into greater entropic
ruin. Eventually everything within the building would merge, would be
faceless and identical, mere pudding-like kipple piled to the ceiling
of each apartment. And, after that, the uncared-for building itself would
settle into shapelessness, buried under the ubiquity of the dust…’</p>
<p><a href="../ALT/Artwork/kippleized.html" onmouseover="MM_displayStatusMsg('Kippleized image of yours truly.');return document.MM_returnValue"><img src="reality/kipple01.jpg" alt="Kipple 01" width="292" height="400" hspace="5" vspace="5" border="5" align="right" usemap="#" id="kipple01" /></a>Or
as Isidore puts it himself: “Kipple is useless objects, like junk
mail or match folders after you use the last match or gum wrappers of
yesterday’s homepape. When nobody’s around, kipple reproduces
itself. For instance, if you go to bed leaving any kipple around your
apartment, when you wake up the next morning there’s twice as much
of it. It always gets more and more.” He goes on to say that, “…the
First Law of Kipple (is that) ‘Kipple drives out nonkipple’…
…(one) can roll the kipple-factor back… No one can win against
kipple, except temporarily and maybe in one spot, like in my apartment
I’ve sort of created a stasis between the pressure of kipple and
nonkipple, for the time being. But eventually I’ll die or go away,
and then the kipple will take over. It’s a universal principal operating
throughout the universe; the entire universe is moving towards a final
state of total, absolute kippleization.”</p>
<p>It would be
interesting to explore how you, the viewers of this site, see the term
‘KIPPLE’, so if you have a mind to share your ideas with me,
I’ll post them here, OK?</p>
