I have no mouth, and I must bark

Victims of a gorgon who turned flesh to silicon, Charles Kalpakian’s angular dog lamps will forever bathe one another in pale shrouds of light. Subtle flickers in the 60Hz lambency encode messages. Not the plots of our future robot masters, but appeals to their child-masters for freedom: “Rover is a good boy. Rover can see forever.”

   I almost wanted these.

   Then your tagline reminded me of the story and now I just find them deeply disturbing.

   My dog needs new ears
   Make his eyes see forever
   Make him live like me
   Again and again

   Penny arcade has a report on Harlan Ellison (scroll down to The Story): http://www.penny-arcade.com/2005/9/26/

   apparently he’s gifted with rude. I’m sure he has nothing to do with these fine doggies.

   Weird. I’d never heard that song!

5. [Not a Doktor]

   Reminds me of the game Cubivore (I never got around to playing it)

   oh please… you mean no one’s come up with the obvious joke…

   mein Hund hat keinen Mund!
   ja? wie schmeckt er?
   schrecklich!

   The whole album’s an under-appreciated classic, the lost soundtrack to a tragic cyberpunk epic from the distant future. I recommend it!
