What is at stake for contemporary art in the take up of Deleuze and Guattari's thought? What are the limits and possibilities of this take up? To address these questions, this book presents a series of inflections that explore the connection between these two fields. The topics studied range from the political and the expanded ‘aesthetic paradigm’ of art practice today, to specific scenes and encounters and the question of technology in relation to art. These essays have been written by philosophers and artists working at the cutting edge of this new area, including writers from outside the Anglo-American tradition.Less

This chapter maps out the new aesthetic paradigm in relation to philosophy. It attempts to reconstruct a non-dialectical and complex Deleuzian aesthetics using resources based on Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Martin Heidegger. The chapter argues that Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari present a peculiar reconditioning of ‘the becoming-x’, of philosophy itself in the algorithmic encodings of the zeros and ones.Less

This chapter looks at the new information machines increasingly running our lives and addresses the question of coding within recent software art. It argues that the invisible and viral nature of code exemplifies the new aesthetic paradigm where a politics of practice can only operate through experimentation geared towards the unexpected, the imperceptible. The chapter attempts to contextualise some Deleuzian notions in the practices and projects of software and net art through thinking code not only as the stratification of reality and of its molecular tendencies, but as an ethological experimentation with the order-words that execute and command.Less
