Extended Version of Text 'Feminine Aesthetic as Femininist Aesthetic'
Here is the extended version of Feminine Aesthetic as Feminist Aesthetic: Incorporation of the Affectivity Sensibility.
Writing on Dry Wipe, an online exhibition for Nottingham Contemporary, led me to expand this in closer relation to the organisation of identity, after networks. The original short version (from which the extended version was made) can be found here.

We Are All Groupuscules
In this text, 'Three Group-Related Problems' from Desert Islands and other texts, Gilles Deleuze pays tribute to his friend and co-author, Felix Guattari. Using the opportunity to raise central problems of mediation within and between selves, activists, groups, militants, groupuscules, analysts and individuals, Deleuze explores the 'hope and despair' following May '68 and the legacy of some of its experiments in collective subject-formation [ more ] about We Are All Groupuscules

Post-Media Archives (I)
„Don't forget: the archive!“ : Collecting Non-Archives for the Post-Media Condition
workshop/roundtable april 25th/26th (+phase out on 27th) @ Post-Media Lab (CDC)
For ‘Don’t Forget the Archives’, we are assembling projects which re-imagine the function formerly performed by ‘archives’. What was the archive in the first place and what can it be in the future-present? Everything is of interest: from deliberately non-archivable practices to ad-hoc and dangerous archives, to collections of tools and filters, archives of desire, imagination, enunciation and the never-achievable reconstruction of the ultimate, authoritative, comprehensive ‘cultural archive’. There is no list of criteria for entry into our temporary repository, as every post-media archive exists as a function of the endeavour it traces. We expecting anything, everything, nothing. This roundtable should be nothing more and nothing less than an attempt to investigate the arts of re-construction – of the embedded traces and shared resources of collective practice.

Update
My work surrounding the research theme A Question of Organisation After Networks has grown out of conversation with a close group of people. Beginning in a discussion in January (video here), texts and talks are forming out of this (next talk at Goldsmiths on Protest As Memory, Thursday 21st March, 2.30pm - 4pm at the Great Hall - Richard Hoggart Building, for MA in Visual Cultures and open to public). Some ongoing reading can also be followed in my are.na profile. [ more ] about Update
Welcome to the Post-Media Lab
Welcome to the Post-Media Lab – a collaboration between Leuphana University and Mute Magazine. The Lab is focused on the potential for 'post-media' practice, drawing upon Felix Guattari's concept of social and medial assemblages which unleash new forms of collective expression and experience. It is centred around a supported programme of visiting fellows – artists, technologists, film-makers, theorists, post-media operators – and the production of a series of associated, international public events and publishing projects.
