The After Mode

Summary/Abstract: A story is the simplest way of organizing time, of putting it in (our view of) order, and trying to make it stay, wait, desist from its passage. It is the currency human beings felt they could buy their way out of time with. It all began with the mural images in the stoneage caves, with incidents that continued to live after the death of the animal, the death of the hunter, the loss of the real moment, and with its prolongation into image, imagination, memory and expectation, prediction. In the beginning, art was born out of the need to save the moment and keep it as experience.
