Produktbeschreibung
This sequel to Marc Fichou's Carnet (or "Notebook") extends his meditations on creative process at the interface between art and consciousness, technical means and organic life, the machinic and the intuitive. Again utilizing a number of paradoxical figures-like the Necker cube and the Mobius strip-drawn from mathematics as well as philosophy, science, and theology, Fichou explores the nature of perception and the enigmas of creativity in a late modern time of radical transformation in what it is to be human. His congeries of words, drawings, and images recall the illuminated works of the Romantic poet and artist William Blake, whose prophetic imagination exploded naturalistic illusions of space and time. Fichou, too, makes contact with an a-cosmic and non-linear dimension of experience. Artistic process becomes a matter of self-negation or inner fragmentation not only in the work but for the artist. Expression, disentangled from metaphysical concepts of substance, truth, and intention, verges on an "emergence" more akin to evolutionary change or negative feedback in a physical system than one person's production or even inspiration. This isn't to say the artist is any less implied in the process. The hand remains in his notebook just as palpable for Fichou as its alienation in the auto-generating video apparatus he describes and deploys for his wider artistic output. In this he recalls as well the Situationist Guy Debord, for whom a dialectical détournement of that "separation," that merely passive contemplation, to which we are condemned in a society of the spectacle implied an artistic practice of transformation by disfiguration. At stake for both in this practice is a rediscovered power to shape and direct lived time-what Debord called our "historical agency."
