Opening Fracture

"All rise for Provoker Discomfort! Seat!"

Memory of Perception, the Memorium had questions. Questions that deserved answers and answers that we did not have. Memory recalls The Met Gala being an event heavily esteemed and heavily influential. In recent years, it started drifting. Visibility suddenly started being used as impact. An event that is everywhere and nowhere. Memory wonders when did visibility become impact? Memory wonders if presence is the same as endurance? And most importantly Memory wants to know what happened to unpredictability? And this is what we are here to initiate. We want answers, we deserve answers. Memory will demonstrate that while The Met Gala relies on remembrance, it does not suffice to carry events through time.

Discord of Perception, the Provokerium also had questions. Questions which have already been answered. You will soon realize that Memory has wasted your time as much as they did mine. Provocation is unafraid of challenges and discomfort. Provocation does not bow to contradictions. And contradictions you will find! Memory has used tactics to mischaracterize things and Provocation is here to set the record straight. Visibility and impact are different, but one affects the other. Period. Presence bring and endurance carries and they coexist. This is a fact. The real question is what Memory is calling predictability, isn't it what we know as unpredictability? The Met Gala has missteps, but its influence is undeniable. This is what will be demonstrated.

Contamination of Baci C.

Architect Flirt: "Do you swear to present your observation without deliberate distortion, refinement, or manufactured residue?"

Baci C.: "Without refinement!"

Architect Flirt: "Let's start with you 422 call. You mentioned that you're not indecisive. What do you mean by that? Let me rephrase what are you not indecisive about?"

Baci C.: "I was talking about the event. An event I used to admire and be a part of that no longer brings me joy. When I say I'm not indecisive, I mean I know exactly what I expected."

Architect Flirt: "Were these expectations met?"

Baci C.: "No."

Architect Flirt: "Why did it fail to satisfy you?"

Baci C.: "I expected a spectacle. Something grandiose. I remember how it used to be and it no longer feels that way."

Architect Flirt: "In your Record, marked as Artifact A, lines 10 - 14, you said 'Emptiness means feeling numb, indifferent...' do you still feel that way?

Baci C.: "Yes."

Architect Flirt: "You also said, lines 16-20, you felt disappointed. Is that still your feeling?"

Baci C.: "Absolutely."

Architect Flirt: "I understand. Nothing further, Your Memoryship."

Provoker Discomfort: "Refiner, would you like to cross-contaminate?"

Refiner Charm: "Absolutely, Your Provokership."

Cross-Contamination of Baci C.

Refiner Charm: "Baci C. I believe you attended the event. Were you at least satisfied?"

Baci C.: "Yes, just enough."

Refiner Charm: "I believe in your record, marked as Artifact B, line 50-52, you felt empty and the event lost sight of purpose. Do you still feel this way?

Architect Flirt: "Disruption. Leading."

Provoker Discomfort: "Dissolved. Proceed."

Baci C.: "Yes."

Refiner Charm: "Now you're telling this Provokerium that you're not indecisive."

Architect Flirt: "Disruption. Formulating."

Provoker Discomfort: "Stabilized. Refiner ask a question."

Refiner Charm: "You're asking this Provokerium to accept that you're not indecisive. On what basis?"

Baci C.: "Because I know exactly what I want and like and this didn't rise to the level."

Refiner Charm: "So if it felt empty, how can something that feels empty also satisfy you?"

Architect Flirt: "Disruption. Resonance?"

Refiner Charm: "Your Provokership, I'm confused. I believe we all are and this is just for clarification."

Provoker Discomfort: "Dissolved. Reframe the question please Refiner."

Refiner Charm: "It is your belief that it felt empty. And yet, you now claim it satisfied you. The belief appears inconsistent. So I'll ask again.. did it satisfy you, or did it feel empty?"

Baci C.: "I said it already, it felt empty?"

Refiner Charm: "So if it felt empty, why do you now claim satisfaction?"

Baci C.: "I... you know.. it... I mean that it is an event that I used to admire and dreamt of an invitation. In recent years, I started seeing a shift and the event was losing its purpose up to this day and I just, you know, don't want to be part of it."

Refiner Charm: "So you started feeling a negative change in recent years, but still decided to attend the event that no longer felt like it had purpose."

Architect Flirt: "Disruption."

Refiner Charm: "Nothing further, Your Provokership."

Provoker Discomfort is quietly proud and smiling.
