As Foucault said, “Power comes from below.” Every architecture has its own syntax, its own political economy of ones and zeros. The sparrow knows how to avoid abstraction, never writing a thesis on the history of an idea, instead, becoming a symbol of the commonplace or lust. Translate a representation from one register to another. The construction of the subject and the reciprocal, constitutive fabrication of culture. When sparrows call together in the shrubs, when the assembler nestles a value in memory, when the scholar traces a footnote to its source, power and language sing to one another.
