Transit of Venus

The controversial Doctor of Philosophy and YouTuber Antonín Dolák lies in the timelessness of his bare room on the top floor of an unnamed villa. Because of his work, he has been expelled from the University of Ostrava, as well as from lectures at DAMU and other institutions. He has offended everyone and has resigned from everything else; he no longer seeks the Truth with a capital T – artificial intelligence will surely do it for us. The final blow for him was the deletion of his channel, which had a ten-year history: from philosophical lectures to provocative anti-art and childish philosophical theater. To some fans he is a self-centered parasite while for others he is a kind of virtual fiction on the internet that they cannot imagine as part of the shared world. Is there anything left about Dolák that is lovable? Is there anything sacred to him? Crippling loneliness sets in.
