The Future of Information 4
“If science could learn to affirm probability, at all scales and in infinite dimensions (that probability interpenetrates space), it would still then have to learn the epic resistance requisite for the refusal of enlightenment…To resist is to bring about difference through stability, through remaining unchanged, unmoved, undifferentiated. Revolution is pure difference, pure anomaly,...
The Future of Information 3
“A joyous and revolutionary science doesn’t liberate from war; it liberates from fascism, from the forces of habit and from lack of creativity. Science inspires creativity, it awakens us to the creativity already embodied within us, within matter — in many ways this is its highest and proudest achievement.” — Michel Serres
The Future of Information 2
“Out of the depths of division, we begin to reach for the heights of multiplicity, of choice. The void is not sutured to itself, it folds in upon itself; the point of connection is the space of the fold, the ontological division but the line of the fold. Anomalies tell stories. Their birth, their generation differed; they remind us that difference is the force of history, that matter...
The Future of Information 1
“Transcendence occurs only by anomaly, by creativity. Hence we must first away affirm (as soon as we hear some ‘call’ to a divinity to guarantee stability, integrity, probability, etc.) there is yet a second lure to a clearer science — the image of the future war machine…This asymmetrical war machine is the spark of untruth flashing in between regimes of scientific...
Praise the Life of Lucifer Luckystar

Artaud - To Be Done With The Judgment of God
Man is sick because he is badly constructed.
We must make up our minds to strip him bare in order to scrape
off that animalcule that itches him mortally,
god,
and with god
his organs.
For you can tie me up if you wish,
but there is nothing more useless than an organ.
When you will have made him a body without organs,
then you will have delivered him from all his automatic reactions

Kari Edwards on Narrative/Identity (Blowing My...
narrative, isn’t that the sort of thing that forms identity, maybe I was thinking of another narrative. whatever the case … I see narrative as something that needs to be troubled, discarded or at least sent through the shredder. I personally attempt to find the edge of narrative where it starts to disintegrate into dada manifesto and ends up negating itself … well, that’s not...
