‘Barbaric Peoples of the Earth’
Between Vorticism, the post-WW2 Independent Group and the “Cybernetic Serendipity” exhibit of 1968, elements of a working-class internationalism emerge that define both the circumstances of a revolutionary art and its methodology, founded upon a confrontation with the aesthetico-political ideology of work as alienated surplus-production. In positioning art-work as “general commodity” (Bataille) against the commodification of the “artwork” as arte…
Postludes
An examination of how the Accelerationist imagination has failed in its deviation from Nick Land's radical metaphorics of an Artaudian and Bataille-esque signifying "economy without reserve" to a neo-Sovietised bureaucratic plan for the post-Anthropocene, per Benjamin Noys et al. Given a positivistic guise, futurology of the latter kind almost always masks a return of apocalyptic humanism. The fantasy of a species unified in solidarity, in full v…
Language and the Cybernetic Mind
It is the objective of this article, first, to examine certain notions of 'affective' structure (exemplified in the work of, for example, Gregory Bateson and Claude Levi-Strauss) upon which cybernetic research into 'semiotic' systems is ultimately founded, and, second, to look at how this research points beyond a strictly anthropological conception of 'mind' - by way of an analysis of structural mechanics and dynamic systems - towards a general '…
Literate Technologies and the Science of Man
This paper attempts to map the groundwork for a theory of ‘literate technologies’ – that is, the treatment of reading/writing process that devolve upon a materialist conception of agency. The basic premise is that such sign operations are essentially technical and not founded in either a transcendental ego or genetic faculty – such as, for example, Chomsky’s ‘universal grammar’. This approach is only peripherally concerned with so‐called reading …
From materiality to system
This paper seeks to address the relation of materiality to structure and phenomena of signification or semiosis. It examines the logical consequences of several major lines of argument concerning the status of semiosis with regards to the human or broadly “organic” life-world and to the “zero degree” of base materiality — from Peirce to Lotman and Sebeok — and questions the classificatory rationale that delimits semiosis to the exclusion of a gen…
