Formations of micro-being



A long-term contribution to preparation of another configuration of art's structure (future operational art systems) bases itself on conceptions and programs which negotiate art's productive forces. The work is propelled by the conviction that - if there is anything whatsoever that's going on - if anything's going to happen in the prevailing order for the production, distribution and administration of art, then the system that calls itself an "artist" has to restructure itself.

The system that calls itself an "artist" will have to come up with something other than the ego-system which is the prevailing configuration of art's productive force. This force is structured as an endless series of centripetal vehicles within the world. People are going to have to imagine quite another kind of things.

The ego-system is an entity of consciousness and centripetal interaction between desire and reason - a self-absorbed circulation. Its apotheosis is the consummate auto-oscillation (identity and meaning and value and order and what have you). One has to ask oneself, what else and how something else can take place. (It is actually the ego-system's structure, and not its appearance and function that has to be treated. The fact that several individuals, for example, organize themselves as one single system does not automatically entail a structural consistency - it is a matter of superego-systems whose structure is like it is always.)

A long-term contribution in relation to operational art systems bases itself on constant self-structuring (which does not have anything to do with self-organization: the do-it-yourself administration of productive forces pertains to autonomy and super-structure - the self-structuring pertains to the establishment of synthetic basis) and on notions about your being able to structure yourself beyond any conception about productive force. Again and again and again.

We want formations of centrifugal communes of interests! And plasmas of synthetic discourse! And ever growing neuroworlds!
