I like this piece… It makes interesting questions. I just finished reading Unleashing… and i felt after every chapter that it ended with a nice and more difficult set of questions than those you had sort of answered just before…

I like your axioms to rethink a new art practice and a new critique. I will think about them.

However, coming from outside the art world, your first definition was never so clear to me, the one about comparing new works of art with the previous practices… I always rather used Vaneigem’s definition of “the qualitative” as a criteria for art, that is something that changes life and transforms the world – recentlly i learnt that this was a mix of Rimbaud (life) and Marx (world) – in K. Ross, The emergence of social space. Rimbaud and the Paris Commune -.

And then, back to Guattari, lately we have connected Vaneigem with the ideas of at as the creation of existential territories and the multiplication of singularities – which i understand might have some connections with your ideas above… but it sounds less… global… closer to everyday life…

And by the way, i need to talk to you about maquinas ecosoficas… I guess i will e-mail you soon. Best wishes and nice drift **
