°Emergent gameplay

September 8, 2008

The best – or possibly, the easiest – way to describe all this is that it’s structured like a computer game: there are levels, each one more difficult than the previous; successively bigger and nastier monsters to kill or evade but, also, if one is quick enough, to find things placed around the various levels to help you get through them (medipacks, BFGs, friendly scientists, and so on).

I keep bumping into literary references, or perhaps they bump into me. Sometimes more literally than literary and so more bumpy than I’d like, or the references are more acutely visceral than I’d prefer. At other times with surprise and delight, or simply as a prompt to overtly read what is sensed, is there.

°Fck Descartes, let’s dance

June 16, 2008

Sometimes I come across a track that says it all - or what seems like all for me in that moment, reminds me of something very particular, about music, memory, remixing, repetition and riffing, of the indistinction between mind and body, of the proprioceptic and the temporal.

°Two remarks on invisible value

September 26, 2007

My two remarks (and a half) at the Measure for Measure workshop:

One

The border is that place, or set of procedures, through which the distinction, but also the acquaintance, between value and use-value is arranged. In that sense, the border deliberates upon a kind of dialectic, the filtering of differences by indifference and abstraction, the imposition of measures of both what is useful – as in what particular kinds of skilled labour, and the very definition of skill, that may be useful to any given national economy – and what is different (or indifferent) in an innovatory sense. In this regard, the border is a filter. And, as with the categories of value, the encounter at the border here is an encounter of terms that that are internal to capital.

Ok, less obscure than the previous remark, and for the foreseeable. Where one can find a decent coffee in London - this is crucial information.
