Genesis Breyer P-Orridge: Write Your Own Code(en)

As Genesis and I were working on the documentary film "Change Itself” (released in 2016), we agreed that it would be great to also have Genesis reading poetry in the film. One clip was eventually used. "Write Your Own Code" contains all of the material we shot in Oslo, Norway, 2014. These sessions also became the creative ignition for the spoken word album we made together in 2017, and which was released in 2019 by Ideal Recordings: "Loyalty Does Not End With Death." I have left the casual tone of the sessions, including some mishaps, as untouched as possible. Write Your Own Code! – Carl Abrahamsson, 2021

How could this enormous amount of energy be explained, even though quasars are relatively small and far away? Einstein's general theory of relativity was a starting point with the possibility of exploding stars that collapse in a gravitational collapse and take surrounding matter and energy with them. The gravitational forces are so strong that even light can no longer escape. But how can we make the invisible measurable?
