Jean Baudrillard's The Conspiracy of Art.
Jean Baudrillard's The Conspiracy of Art. I am enjoying this text especially as I both agree with and disagree with the author in several registers. His use of the texts of Jarry is interesting and admirable, but the overall scope of the work is negative, if forthrightly so. It's the sort of 'is it really negation' which turns the notion of aporia into an art itself, and I think this is the real art of Baudrillard in this text. Baudrillard is probably one of the finest 'sculptors' of hermeneutic aporia there is..(like I know. gawd whatever) Nowhere does he really explore philosophy as an art within the text, or tear down the walls between art, science, and literature although he does make forays into the nexus of post-structuralist ideas in a way which makes one think he perhaps self- contaminated himself abit further than he lets on. If one views the book itself as a meta-text, as philosophy as art, then the one punctum which isn't drowned in the fevered cross-hatchings of his aporia-opera is his notion of the destructiveness of banality. This is has been one of my deformed underthoughts for many years, and JB gives an excellent rendering of the subject.. I haven't had the time to give the book my full attention if such a thing exists, but I am planning to read it next to Virilio and Lotringer's The Accident of Art but I've barely even had a chance to scan it though. Lotringer does mention Baudrillard's book on the second page of The Accident. There is some discussion of the aesthetics of futurism with reference to terrorism which is certainly interesting, a theme which is also present in a similiar way with reference to theories of the event in Sanford Kwinter's work Architectures of Time which I had paired with Jonathan Crary's Suspension of Perception.. I wanted to follow up on the co-editors of in my humble opinion one of the best Zone books Zone 6 Incorporations. The native oppositions between the sets are telling and fascinating. Virilio and Baudrillard roughly are deconstructing 'art' while Kwinter and Crary exploit the archive to make careful readings of perception and social evolution through the lens of the arts.. Of the two, Kwinter's is the text more weighted toward the literary with its explications of immanence in the work of Kafka and within the structures of unbuilt furturist buildings, there's also a good deal of Bergsonism.. The Crary is much closer to the work of Barbara Maria Stafford with its deep perusal of medical and popular culture materials.. There is also something of an agreement between the sets, in that explicitly the Virilio and Baudrillard treat Modernism (especially early) and its precursors as something of a swan-song to authenticity while the Crary and Kwinter do so implicitly in the selection of their subject matter. I find the contrasts and oppositions between these sets of texts to be especially fruitful in thinking about my own hairbrained view of things and also some small comfort in their radicalized outsider/insider viewpoints.. There is still a good deal of the old Cynics or Kynics in the sense of Slojterdijk, camp left and it is heartening. Both the Baudrillard and the Virilio perform something of a Diogenesian urinary critique on art's toga with the difference that art itself these days loves to drink piss, though I'm sure neither of them live in a tub or expect to find an honest man.. though it is probably mostly whores who pay their way.. after all what idea isn't prostituted anymore.. the world mind is a brothel and the sex is as cold and precise as a freshly lubed robot, automatic.. I guess the thing I really take away from these texts is a marvelous sense of subjectivity and a lens into another way of seeing.. which is curiously resonant with a section in Charles Stross' weirdo cyber-darwinian creative commons freak-opera Accelerando where sentient alien parasitical corporations barter in consciousness uploads, basically using captured digitized minds as money to sample and taste their subjectivies, their alieness, and all of this within an ancient transgalactic router whose owners deleted themselves to free themselves from their own Artificially intelligent spam.

Shyster
Shyster Was oil? Was it swapped often. Was the id. Was the id in the dump. Was the oily fur assulted once too often. Was the oil interleaved with the sorrow. Was the fluffiness like death. Was the dump only a memory. Is the fur a device to be destroyed in bitter grief. I will rejoice with the transsexual fur. Will I assult you with the interleaving grub. Will the id of the fur be opposed to the deformed fluffiness of the rusty rage. Will the configuration of our genitalia be swaddled in a plastic device. Was slippery oil on the transsexual fur. Can you interleave my memory with your hidden root. Will what is in the wasted box perish. Alleluia! Will you swap the plastic for the eaten device. The Lord be with you. The Lord will be with you. The Lord is with you. Is the id of the Resurrection deformed. Who will oppose the black lung of my being. Is the oozing root in the dump of hell. Is memory rubberized in the box with others. Was oil wasted on the head in the box. May I eat the gnarled trite root. Will we ever eat grub again. Will the blood in the veins of the stars fall out of the sky, for I am a swollen roseate anus, a sluggish twinge strewn about, flush with the sawdust mucus that meddles with a nimble ruby cunt. Will we swap what has been wasted and eaten. Was the fluffiness of oil interleaved within the swapped memory of the hard-nosed latex. Ram my thin vulnerable veil of skin if our dumpy sub-contract is stinky. Decode my hole, smoky fire, flickering light. Has our id been deformed forever. Was what was wasted fur. Will the devious memories of others be only a device. Will what is swapped be forsaken. Will you eat the feathers of the transsexual's eyelid id. Will the id be opposed to the deformed sub-contract in the gutter. Will the grub in the box be interleaved with the leaves of memory. Will the transsexual gnaw on the fake waste. Will the hard-nosed assault be nothing but damp fur to the oily eye of the broken-necked owl. Was the root device a hidden whole. Was the box wasted. Fuck it up into my soft spot a little harder. Will the fluffiness be totally forgotten in the grubby box. Will we eat the deformed transsexual's interleaving sub-contracts down in the cellar. Was the memory of the fur-lined box opposed to the deformed streamers screaming Bon Voyage. Rant and vent, bitch, with all the angels, for I am the bread of death, the ego-ace plopping puke down the streaks of your jockstrap -- rabid asshole -- bark and squirt it off: sac, tube, butt, tote, mutt, totem scrotum, tar-turd lard, loosely suckled spokes, icicle mercury, missal silo, IV'd dwarf knuckles, porky dork, piping towhee, shyster. --Bob BrueckL (some words appropriated from Jukka-Pekka Kervinen's self test
Fwd: Downtime Play
On my way to Zurich I just met a colleague at the airport. We both fly routinely. I can't do it anymore. he said. All this air travel is just too much downtime for me. I moved onward passing through airport lobbies in New York City, London, and finally my Swiss destination. In these inbetween spaces I was persistently confronted with big, fat back-lid ads. And they were all about time. T-Mobile's slogan is Upgrade your downtime. The airline Jetblue draws attention to their wireless hotspots at John F. Kennedy with the commanding downtime-download. The mantra of the British Vodaphone is The power of now! BT shows a jolly business man fly-jumping through what looks like a landscape of Powerpoint charts: The digital network economy. Where business is done. In JFK, Sprint, the American cell phone tycoon, set up yellow placards in the size of a house that say yes to making just about any place a work place. It made me stop. I was buffled. How dare they be so in my face about what I perceive as the agony of immaterial labor? Before moving to San Francisco I never heard terms like quality time or downtime. In East Germany, for me, time was just time indiscriminately. For a wide variety of reasons there are many that pledge allegiance to everything not-networked, offline, and non-digital. Who can blame them? Post-Fordist work conditions turn the super-mobile manager into a networked lap dog. At six in the morning those waiting in the airport gate area pull out their laptops. Sneaking over their shoulders I see spread sheets. The networked early morning work day starts with coffee and a cheese-and-egg-pizzas. Downtime now is download time. Life is work. There is not enough time to rest, cook, reflect, or walk in the woods. The insidious penetration of the Internet into our every grain is hard to deny. Workers become part-of-the-solution-nodes rather than full-time employees. Health insurance can be done away with. Wages in the immaterial networked realm don't have to bear resemblance to the work that was done. And, who ever mentioned pensions? Also Unions get whacked when the work force is geographically pieced together. Then there is all that sense of place stuff that Lucy Lippard was so adament about. But the uprooted lifestyle seems like peanuts compared to what is happening now, -- the horror, the horror. Passing through these airports, the net started to feel like an itch that we can't scratch. Much of the discussion about networking is focused entirely on business. Howard Rheingold's essay Technologies of Cooperation is magnificent and inspired, imho, but it is written in large part to help out the amazon-dot-coms of this world. Doug Rushkoff comments on his blog that he hopes for the ideas in his latest book to help businesses (and well, also a few others). Fair enough. What's wrong with that you may ask? Well, let's just say that there is an utilitarian impetus that rarifies play and experiment at least if they don't link up with business interests sooner rather than later. Let's just say that I hope for people with insight into network technologies and their human uses to also take on projects that do not support those who already have plenty. Why help eBay to make even more money? Who really needs our help? Some cultural workers have much in common with managerial networked types. Brian Holmes points to that. It's not just the rock stars of what Richard Florida calls the creative class who sit on planes next to the smiley jet set manager. Artists become entrepreneur of themselves. Self-worth is quantified in frequent flyer miles and numbers of invitations. But the opportunistic, ego-tripping art enterpriser is not all there is. Cultural practioners travel and perform their ideas all over the world. They are gift-givers with all the problematic hierarchies that this creates. On good days they enact their ideas with passion, inspiration and substance. The Brooklyn-based artist Martha Rosler documented her more than frequent passing through airports in many series of photographs and critical writing. She describes her motivation for these works related to her occupation. And in new media as much as in photography, the international scenes are closely knit. Travel is a substantial part of the lives of cultural producers. I can't point to the travelling managerial networkers over there. They are so distant and conveniently different from me. I don't have all the ethical and political rightenousness on my side. I am part of the picture. The network beast lives also inside me. We move through space. We are all those cultural producers who fly thousands of miles to talk to different audiences or present their artwork. We are quite the experts when it comes to travel. We know it all. Airport, home, gallery, and lecture hall are equally familiar venues for us. We have it down. We know how to block off obnoxiously loud fellow travelers. We recognize how to remain friendly (most of the time)- with

I am waiting for a hand-signed version of Damien Hirst's only poetry book to see what that's like though I havent researched this very deeply. I want to see what such a famous contemporary artist's poetry looks like.. The book is called Cancer age i think. I can always sell it and pick up the Lingis. I am also getting the exhibition catalogue to the Chapman's new show Like a Dog Returns to its Vomit which curiously resonates with the Baudrillard text. Actually I was a little disappointed at some of the examples or Lack of them Baudrillard chose to talk about. Some of the book is interviewlets. Have you read Zone 6? or Zone 3, or Zone 5? The Journal Alexandria is excellent as well. There's some great stuff in Zone 6. Metametazoa is a great piece. as well as the rest. I highly recommend Goya: The Last Carnival by Victor I Stoichita and Anna Maria Coderch. This is the third Goya book I've read in 3 years. Stafford references him as do the Chapmans.

Ah - I noticed that image right away myself, Hello Dali - can't think of Dali deploying anything resembling this except perhaps the canes echo Dali's crutches.. No I see this as part of an older tradition involving the voices of things, that the character of things is closely analogous to their being, that there is a kind of dual uncanny/unheimlich nature to all embodiment.. This seems far more related to Greek and Roman traditions of the Grylli..but it's also cartoon philosophy.. what else to call it.. it's philosophy done as a caricature, a physiognomy a kind of joky, fatalistic, 'humourous' physiognosis the knees are talking wee are wretched kneee gotiators the arse the arms the body as a corporate structure cryptically echoing our endosymbiotic origins our Arcimboldian microbial selves Our bodies are weird evolved architectures like Microbial arcologies if you've ever read about the chemistry involved in the evolution of vertebrate segmentalism and skeletal structure, its one of the most fascinating and epic creations really this image is one of the warmest most human ways to say that.. it expresses body wisdom.. there is knowledge in our tissues, it may have flaws, or be untranslatable, but internally there is a great deal of untapped bandwidth..

Not sure what you're referencing here - Alan On Sat, 19 Nov 2005, phanero wrote: Ah - I noticed that image right away myself, Hello Dali - can't think of Dali deploying anything resembling this except perhaps the canes echo Dali's crutches.. No I see this as part of an older tradition involving the voices of things, that the character of things is closely analogous to their being, that there is a kind of dual uncanny/unheimlich nature to all embodiment.. This seems far more related to Greek and Roman traditions of the Grylli..but it's also cartoon philosophy.. what else to call it.. it's philosophy done as a caricature, a physiognomy a kind of joky, fatalistic, 'humourous' physiognosis the knees are talking wee are wretched kneee gotiators the arse the arms the body as a corporate structure cryptically echoing our endosymbiotic origins our Arcimboldian microbial selves Our bodies are weird evolved architectures like Microbial arcologies if you've ever read about the chemistry involved in the evolution of vertebrate segmentalism and skeletal structure, its one of the most fascinating and epic creations really this image is one of the warmest most human ways to say that.. it expresses body wisdom.. there is knowledge in our tissues, it may have flaws, or be untranslatable, but internally there is a great deal of untapped bandwidth.. I just think these more humble folksy images speak to an innocence and charity towards our beastliness that I identify with ( URLs/DVDs/CDroms/books/etc. see http://www.asondheim.org/advert.txt - revised 7/05 )
