Cosmic Bitcasting. A wearable radiation detector. 

- Cosmic Bitcasting emerges from the idea of connecting the human body with the invisible universe that surrounds us by creating a wearable interface that will provide sensory information on the gamma radiation, X-rays, and alpha and beta particles that pass through our bodies by triggering a series of embedded actuators (lights and vibration). -

A Critique of The Theory of Bloom by Tiqqun: Power, Subjectivity, Difference, and Unbecoming

The Theory of Bloom is a theory of the crisis of the modern subject under late capitalism. It a theory of the nothing-subject, a theory that is totally flat, universalizing, devoid of nuance, reductive, and completely incapable of accounting for difference. It is a singular and homogeneous portrait of the modern Man theorized from a normative affective tonality characterized by boredom, emotional stiltedness, ennui, indifference, disempowerment, alienation, detachment, emptiness, etc etc. The theorized subject is ostensibly neutral and the theory pretends to depict a totally universal condition, yet the book is theorized completely from a masculine position. The book references such really cool dudes as Bataille, Joyce, Agamben, Valery, Benjamin, Adorno, Blanchot, Hegel, etc etc. It’s written in a seductive, aggrandizing tone that adds credence to its credibility. The text is from Tiqqun, a French political/philosophical journal that dissolved in 2001. The writing from Tiqqun is generally anonymous, too, which adds to the mystery of it all. But I guess it’s not so anonymous since it’s known that Julien Coupat (a business executive and son of a medical doctor?) is one of its founders.

Us Americans are always behind the times when it comes to French theory. Translations of the texts from Tiqqun have just begun to trickle in during the last couple years—over 10 years after they were written—but already the theory has reached a sort of hegemonic status among young radicals like myself. Generally, anarchists are the first to take in upon themselves to translate, format, print, and distribute the texts, mostly for free in the format of photocopied pamphlets and books. After bootlegged versions of Tiqqun texts How Is It To Be Done? and Introduction to Civil War circulated for a while, Semiotext(e) published an official version of the texts as well as other insurrectionist texts from France. I have no idea if Semiotext(e) or any other publisher will release an edition of the Theory of Bloom, but if you are interested in reading a bootleg version, you can download a PDF here.

  The Crisis of the Modern Subject Under Late Capitalism

What is Bloom? Instead of speaking for Bloom, I will let Bloom speak for Himself.

“The Bloom is the masked Nothing. That is why it would be absurd to celebrate its apparition in history as the birth of a particular type of human: the man without quality is not a certain quality of man, but on the contrary man qua, the final realization of the generic human essence, which is precisely the loss of essence, pure exposition and disposal: larva.”

“…Bloom is compelled by its inner nothing.” 

“Assuredly, the Bloom is, as the Spectacle tirelessly repeats, positively nothing.”

“Although we believe it to be alleviated, the essential anxiety remains as one and all are required to maintain a stringent neglect of self: the ignorance of that common power that became indescribable because of its anonymity. The Bloom is the name of that anonymity.”

“The Bloom does not experience a particular finitude or a determined separation, but the ontological finitude and separation, common to all men. As well, the Bloom is only alone in appearance: because it is not alone in being alone, all men have that solitude in common.”

Be a Loser! The world of art that is high percent celebrity driven, it's just a place where everyone but the winners feels like shit. We say "don't join that world", join a world of collaboration, join with other artists and figure out things that you can do together and have fun.

Be crazy! Find a new way to talk about the things and crazy ways to convince people of what you care about and change their minds.

Be anonymous! Sometimes it's great to speak up with your face and other times it's even better to do it anonymously. When you do things anonymously, when you wear a crazy mask, you won't believe what comes out of your mouth.

No matter what you do, jam your own culture, remake your institutions, make trouble and complain, complain, complain. But be a creative complainer, that's what we try.

And use de "F word", Feminism. Feminism is on the right side of history and it is revolutionizing the way people think, it's changing the world and it's giving women laws that their mothers or grandmothers could never have imagined.

We think that "F word" is not only feminism but it's the Future.

In my mind

"And it's funny how I imagined That I could win this, win this fight But maybe it isn't all that funny That I've been fighting all my life But maybe I have to think it's funny If I wanna live before I die And maybe it's funniest of all To think I'll die before I actually see That I am exactly the person that I want to be"

The problem with the patriarchy is that IT RUNS THE ENTIRE WORLD. The world is run by bureaucrats and corporations which are run by men which have been raping the entire planet for thousands of years.‪ ‪

“Do you sleep with the oppressor?”

“I don’t hate them, but I like to be able to treat men like we are treated most of the time. I feel comfortable with that. If we think rape is important and if you’re really taught that you’re entitled to kill a man if he wants to abuse you, I think it changes the whole thing. But do we think rape is that important that we can allow women to kill men?”

“I think you would have much less problems if you would turn gay”

“Critical theory occurs somewhere between the no-longer and the not-yet, not looking for easy reassurances but for evidence that others are struggling with the same questions. Consequently, we are in this together.” Braidotti R. The Postsecular Turn in Feminism.

I believe most people have a double life. An inner one and the social one. And then some of us decide to wear our lives inside out. That’s when it gets weird. That’s when it gets real.
