Dark may refer to:

The best description of dark culture, or the dark side of human nature is in descriptions of psychopaths or in Mark Dery's philosophical stance.

I'm as weary of the politicization of aesthetics as I'm wary of the aestheticization of politics. The Walter Benjamin in me is trying to make peace with my inner Georges Bataille. ... Aesthetically, however, I'm interested in the unlit, unfrequented corners of society, the nethermost regions of the self: freaks, forensic pathology, true crime, conspiracy theory, cannibalism, madness, medical museums, Art Brut, weird science, sexual deviance, soft tissue modification (by tribal peoples and postmodern primitives), creature features, alien abductions, insects, Situationism, Surrealism, science fiction, the gothic, the grotesque, the carnivalesque -- in short, extremes and excess of every sort. I want to induce, in my reader, the vertigo that comes from leaning too far over the edge of the cultural abyss. -- Mark Dery http://www.levity.com/markdery/inform.html
