WHAT ?
A few days ago I had this awkward feeling that I was missing America. A need to catch up also. It’s the ex-journalist in me who needs to catch-up with what’s going on. I was in a need of American humor also. It’s the effect of spending a few months in my hometown : Paris makes me miss other countries. As these lines are written in the XXIst century, foxes, I actually launched YouTube and typed Ellen. I guess I also needed some lesbian breathe.

META
HERMENEUTICS
Pop is what you know.
Meta names another level : something beyond.
A metalanguage for example, is a language on a language. It’s also actually, a language from a language.
Hermeneutics have been conceptualized by a philosopher I love, named Paul Ricoeur. I would call it a way to translate a thought.
So here we are, in a pop philosophical post-modern game sounding a lot like freedom...

A Night on Mars is a Mixed-Media response to someone else's game
written by my sober - twisted brain
performed thanx to 30 Seconds to Mars & Designedmemory from Paris with love.
Handmade in France between a screen and a trend under Trump & Macron's times (Planet Hell, 2018),
A Night on Mars is a Pop Art Virtual Book about Labelling, Memory and America.
A Night on Mars is made of words from the moon trying to have fun and yet always trapped in self-consciousness : what is a dialogue, who are we talking to, for what, from where ? Haunted by De Saussure, John Rawls and Kurt Cobain, trapped in a world called future that post-modernity did think about, it is a no-work where joy tries to win a battle over knowledge, remembering that Nietzsche used to cry and laugh out of the same things.
A Night on Mars is a no - work made of metaphysics and random memories on a wall that was not created by Pink Floyd.
Inspired by Andy and Aristotle, it is a concept called America and yet also a child of Duchamp and Magritte - French as hell.
As these lines are written, America is also a continent, a country and used to be a horse with no name before turning into an album by Thirty Seconds to Mars.
Special Thanx to Churchill.
A Night on Mars is a message from the customization era inviting freedom of expression to talk to no one and asking you, the people of the world, to make freedom great again by typing your time in a hell called computer. It is about the choice we all have to scream our views with no one listening. It is an immediate joyful response to an invitation to have fun. A party hoping to create an international community making art instead of war and, more importantly, it is me telling you laughter is the key to everything.
A Night on Mars is written
by a child from the Moon
who just landed on an unkown universe thirty seconds from her sleep.
In her sleep are nightmares and dreams made of fiction and realities.
In her sleep are lyrics and quotes lost and found out of love and curiosity. Behind her sleep there's a victory, an invisible war against insomnia.
And a deep peace created by life and able to make her sleep.
A Night on Mars
is a dark and bright night.
Dark for this child who wrote it
is from the moon,
and has to face Purple Times
between Heaven and Earth.
A night is described as dark
when it's white, in the human's world - please note, Humans don't know they are aliens at this time.
Dark is the night on Mars
handmade on April 28th of 2018
in Paris, Earth.
Dark in order for the child from the moon to find a deep and peaceful sleep.
Her night is a journey
designed to reach a morning
and yet ready to enjoy the night.
Her sleep is enjoying
the time of sleeping.
We're hoping
you'll enjoy the flight.
INDEX
Children from the moon
do not believe in God.
They believe.
They know, that their souls are alive,
and that what is alive is their body.
The gift is to be protected.
And their bodies need some sleep.
Good Night

AMERICA
WHAT IS AMERICA TO ME ?
Look how wise I am, answering the question I'm asked... FAMOUS IS THE UNSAID ANSWER.
Ironically thinking about Pavlov a few days after I typed my words, I do admit I have an Obey thought for a fairy called Fairey... and I am thinking I am actually simply being polite : their playground, their rules.
