Hi
this follows my previous post "hot summer night" and is partly a reply
to Joukke Kleerebem's remarks
"What remains to be explored is the complexity of contemporary
procedures of subjectification, in the image and elsewhere."
Jean-Francois Chevrier/Catherine David.
Taking the example of two sets of events (people in a deserted town ;
people sun bathing on the sea-shore), it seemed to me this could be a
way to bring further that debate about "the image/the urban" as both of
these situations are alike.
As if an "urban project" had changed the natural landscape (a seaside
here) in some kind of suburbian leisuredrome. Yet in this case, the
"public image" isn't created by any aestheticization or advertising of
some sort. People are the "public image limited".
Universal (over)exposure. No cover. Surface. Flatness.
This has not awaited the networks to exist. It is just more spectacular
now and "everything's thine in paradise"

about, in order to face conditions on the map or in the territory, or
between them. Map and territory do not inform each other and you're left
clueless. (...)
Disguise or accident are operations primarily useful when you see no
shadow. The shadow is never mapped out. The territory is informated,
unstable: a place to hide can turn into center stage at the switch of a
link. Korzybski and Deleuze hide in the folds of maps, they're shadows.
You don't want to hide in."

I wrote there was something with the map and as well as the territory.,
that using Korzybsky's sentence or Deleuzian concepts _ "rhizome" in
this context_ is not relevant.
I should have said that the main problem that we face in this forum
(about spatial articulations, perspectives, and procedures) may have its
roots in the words we use.
If we speak of subjectivation procedures, then _as Deleuze would have
said_we can "make a map with..." (faire carte avec). Percolation story.
Then, to my point of view we can become the folds and the shadow between
them.
And then, this could have something to do with an art practice.
It is slightly different than "mapping". Activity which is executed by
search engines. As to the territory, it's the same thing. Geopolitics
applied to data.
