attitude

“The example of patriarchy provides an illustration of how the concept of “minority” is used: while there may be more women than men numerically, in Deleuze and Guattari’s terms, which are sensitive to relations of power, men still constitute the majority whereas women form a minority. Thus the concept of “becoming-minor” converges with that of “becoming-woman” (as they say, “everyone has to ‘become-woman’, even women…”),”becoming-animal”, “becoming-molecular”, “becoming-imperceptible” and ultimately, “becoming-revolutionary”. Each type of affective becoming marks a new phase of a larger process that Deleuze and Guattari call deterritorialization.”

“This historical echo is often audible in the Maker rhetoric around 3D printing and “the Internet of Things”: that they represent a return to something more authentic and personal than the digital. This move is most obviously visible with the Maker obsession with “faires” and hackerspaces, venues for in-person sociability, which is represented as obviously more spiritually nourishing than its remote digital equivalent.”

“It’s easy to fetishize Brutalist buildings when you don’t have to live in them. On the other hand, when the same Brutalist style is translated into the digital spaces we daily inhabit, it becomes a source of endless whinging. Facebook, for example, is Brutalist social media. It reproduces much the same relationship with its users as the Riis Houses and their ilk do with their residents: focusing on control and integration into the high-level planning scheme rather than individual life and the “ballet of a good blog comment thread”, to paraphrase Jane Jacobs.”

“The assumption driving these kinds of design speculations is that if you embed the interface–the control surface for a technology–into our own bodily envelope, that interface will ‘disappear’: the technology will cease to be a separate ‘thing’ and simply become part of that envelope. The trouble is that unlike technology, your body isn’t something you ‘interface’ with in the first place. You’re not a little homunculus ‘in’ your body, ‘driving’ it around, looking out Terminator-style ‘through’ your eyes. Your body isn’t a tool for delivering your experience: it is your experience. Merging the body with a technological control surface doesn’t magically transform the act of manipulating that surface into bodily experience. I’m not a cyborg (yet) so I can’t be sure, but I suspect the effect is more the opposite: alienating you from the direct bodily experiences you already have by turning them into technological interfaces to be manipulated.”

I’d like to position this against Wendy Chun’s “Programmed Visions”. There’s a lot of interesting things to discuss here.

“The “re-” gestures—such as reblogging and retweeting—have become cultural rites of cachet in and of themselves. If you can filter through the mass of information and pass it on as an arbiter to others, you gain an enormous amount of cultural capital. Filtering is taste. And good taste rules the day: Marcel Duchamp’s exquisite filtering and sorting sensibility combined with his finely tuned taste rewrote the rules.”
