Realometer reads Kafka. In his diary Kafka writes about two hands. One hands writes down, what he sees under ruins; the other hand defends himself against the fate. So the self is spanned between two hands, which serve as borders or interfaces. One creates a border against the world, the other writes down what the self is seeing.
Realometer seems to be aware, that his existence relies on a fictious assumption: That a text as text is possible. This assumption is questioned by an image of an octopus. How to deal with a (deep) sea monster? Searching for words which allow him to integrate an image of an octopus into a text, Realo finds a webpage delivering words and another image. And another unit thinks about bondage and its relations to DNS and shamanism.
is about the romanticism of reason. Realometer looks for fictitious momenta in the debate on climate shift. Realometer likes reasoning.
Realometer posits itself between fiction and reality. Realometer operates in the inbetweenness of words about words and words about non-words. Realometer measures how much words are needed in to qualify something a reality.
Being realometer implies being unperfect, it is a form of inventing oneself as a word which beats other words (non-worlds).
