Posted: February 17th, 2009 | Author: AT | Filed under: SUBCULTURAL & RADICAL GROUPS, Uncategorized | No Comments »The images juxtaposed frailty and severity. Austerity and boredom seem to be unstable percolation among the images themselves. However, Cameron’s mention of “shocking” utterances and placements certainly made for a bizarre mixture. Without hearing about these extra tidbits, it makes it all seem to fade out, instead of going kicking and screaming ? Is that what I meant to say?
WOW CafĂ© – lesbian emphases and marginalizing margins as nuance. Corpulence may bring an ironic significance w/in these margins … seams of marginalization which can’t hold the showdates? ideology? Is there a cognitive limitation on our network sizes? Dunbar’s number …
Guerilla Girls – nudity and latex masks::thought fascism::experimentation by quick intervention, then retreat to see results — how does this technique contrast w/ slow, prolonged drips of invasion?
subRosa – cyberfeminism; knowledge sharing and production w/in a feminized space;
Gutai – lots of emphasis with concreteness here. Noise + ripping paper + stretching time + paint cannons + interaction of materials / barriers / body+stone
:: i felt the permeability of self, yet sliding-over-one-another-ness of this group was particularly relevant to our reading so far with respect to assemblages (i can’t keep away from that)
High Red Center
:: displaces some Gutai-ness onto social relationships — moving from object to object-object links, maybe? (which brings up the question: do relations between objects, between subjects, between subjects and objects, or between subject/object hybrids themselves constitute a type of object, subject, or subject/object hybrid?)
:: the toothbrush scrubbing was an interesting play with notions of hyper-distribution of labor and tasks; workers occupied completely simultaneously on a single project at all levels of detail is a perfect trope for the class
