Really enjoyed this post. My preference for longish periods offline goes back to before internet, ironically. I had a thing about "media-free zones" which I recommended and wrote about in my old Anxiety Culture zine (a little article about periodically completely avoiding newspapers, TV, radio, etc, which could equally apply to internet, but before the online/offline dichotomy. Goes on about William Burroughs's notion of "word virus" as I recall. Now we have far worse... the dreaded algorithm!).
Dave Mckean art - seen his amazing cubist version of the female robot in Metropolis? Didn't know he did artwork for 'Gone To Earth' (loved that album, btw - haunting atmospheric sound, and it even has Bill Nelson featuring!).
“Do not sleep under a roof. Carry no money or food. Go alone to places frightening to the common brand of men. Become a criminal of purpose. Be put in jail, and extricate yourself by your own wisdom.”
