About Me

Name: Thivai Abhor

Location: Lexington, Kentucky, United States

Sprouted San Diego-CA. Interpellated in Midwest universities. Working the borderline South. Searching for viable alternative cultures. Interested in new projects, from indy media, innovative educational ventures, to art projects/music labels, to stories/subcultures. In Kathy Acker's disturbing novel "Empire of the Senseless" Thivai/Abhor are the two main characters. These two characters are products of a horribly diseased society and Dialogic combines the names in order to give expression to the absurdity of strict binary systems/monologic thinking. In opposition to this dystopian fiction/reality we celebrate the wondrous chaotic creativity of relational thinking, polylogical discourse and pantheistic belief. Thivai Abhor is the revolution of the senses, freedom of expression, the virus that will eat the system from the inside out. Thivai Abhor is a catalyzing enteran that seeks to alter the corrupt system through pirated words and frenzied responses. Thivai Abhor operates in the margins of mutated meanings, seeking a new way of being, becoming, understanding and knowing. Thivai Abhor is the monstrous result of a system that eats its young. We are the Multitude!!!
