brief notes on my work
these starting going somewhere, the idea of wildly disparate style/media
from one moment to the other - the idea of 'work' smeared across 'work' -
coherency but no boundary - artificial transmissions by email and
directory file - enonciation, enonce -
then they went nowhere, what came to mind was 'particles emanating from
the brain,' perhaps in honor of the granularity of microsound or the
despair of a relatively cashless existence.
then they went somewhere with messy economics intersecting messy ontology,
epistemological excretions. so for what they're worth, at this stage -
1 variety
the surface of my work is full of inconsistency. styles change abruptly;
characters that were used were used up; new characters appear at times,
only to disappear, to write in the background. media change from text to
audio/video/image/web/performance and back again; the kernel coheres. i am
bored and probably bore easily; i investigate the domain of the symbolic
from the viewpoint of messiness, and messiness from the symbolic. codes
and languaging are always in the background, disseminated, dissimulated.
2. orders
natural which leaks through manageriality; abjection which smears and
devolves into incoherency; aphasias and disorders of the real; brute and
insistent protocols; sexualities, acculturations, languagings of the body;
materiality of mathematical idealities; idealities of physical materiali-
ties; the economics and political economics of the symbolic, abstraction,
the geographic - all of these are subjects of my work, just as my work is
subject to their fragile and monarchic domains.
3. quantity and distribution
no distribution, no quantity is infinite. the phenomenological horizon of
distribution is commonality of usage. distributivity is unobtainable. art
is a praxis is a practice. quantity is also a shearing-away, habit and
habitus. my work is a nudge. it won't survive the net.
4. common themes
the theme of the hardening and collapse of the symbolic. the theme of
attempting to grasp the infinite. the theme of the 'otherwise.' the
argument against totalization. the violence of totalization. the code and
the broken code. inhabiting the broken. the broken and the disaster.
5. staying with it
if you stay with it, it will come, sensate. if you begin anywhere, you can
end anywhere. of what conceivable purpose would be a conclusion? a history
perhaps, a phenomenology of that history, a rocky landscape stumbled over.
i'd say it works in your brain, but that's presumptuous. i'd say it works
in mine, but that's symptomology. tropes, symptoms cross-reference, you'll
see. code is cross-reference. you might not want to stay with it. it might
never come.
