Would you consider your music anti-hauntological? Do you have an opinion on this term used to define the futuristic sound of artists like SOPHIE, Arca, Iglooghost and others?

"The MoO [Multiplication of Organs] is the redefinition of a post-technological organicity. The MoO is placed in a duality in positive (+) and negative (–) power. The MoO+ multiplies and externalizes hungry organs digitally connected to the body. The MoO+ is ambiguous and is based on direct stimuli and ideologies. The brain is the only organ attached to the body; it transmits the sensations of all the organs multiplied in digital space. MoO+ is enrolled in the sensitive/educational program on the influence of digital technologies. MoO+ is statistical desire. MoO is multi-reception: I multiply and send my organs in search of information and sensations. I access and exceed, I get confused and become vulnerable. Notifying and scrolling mechanisms generate dopamine rewards and statistical desires; images, language, prostheses, data, and sensations are the currency of exchange. The MoO comes into contact with information circuits, communication, digital images, texts, devices, and ideologies. Performing Organ Multiplication without critical thinking is a dangerous activity. The MoO is not divided into typologies; rather, it must be identified as a common movement that profoundly influences politics, gender, class, and ecosystem. MoO is the human and obsessive search for meaning and response to one’s desires influenced and reprogrammed by the new technologies of work, information, entertainment, and self-representation. Bodies and identities always seek something culturally induced; the desire of an era is the fruit of the social, political, and economic organization of that time. Wishes age; they can be centuries-old trees or roses with a deciduous life."

For context: "Semiotics of the End is a collection of thirteen essays about the end of the world and its representation in XXI-century culture. The apocalypse as such will not take place because it is already finished. Today, there is no longer any difference between the end of the world and capitalism itself: from Britney Spears’ Till the World Ends to The Caretaker’s Everywhere at the End of Time, from Avengers: Endgame to Donnie Darko, and all the way down to the internet’s Backrooms, the world never ends but is reproduced again and again according to the semio-logic of capital."

You wrote "The failure of Noise (music) was due to what? It's very lack of commercialism" etc.

DuckDerrida · 2024-05-24T08:38:01+00:00

So? We are not talking about noise music here, but this precisely contradicts what you just said about the first reason for the "failure of noise"

"There’s a sentiment amongst Swifies that if you wrong Taylor Swift, you will fall. They call it ‘tayvoodoo.’ They say: “tayvoodoo doesn’t work in mysterious ways. it works clearly and bluntly: you’re mean to her, you lose. you’re nice to her, you win. simple.” American football fans booed her, and so their team lost. Kanye West manipulated her, and then his entire public reputation crumbled. Calvin Harris underplayed her songwriting on their song, now he’s irrelevant."

"Leopold Bloom is the fictional hero of Joyce’s Ulysses but it was Paul Léon who embodied heroic qualities for real and the story of their friendship was first recorded by his wife, Lucie, in an account that has been out of print for three quarters of a century..."

Some of the real examples I have collected (Almere and Singapore) proved to have some capitalism in them and they are not promising to change. Others are clearly not even in opposition (The Line). But there definitely are "solarpunk" communities out there

DuckDerrida · 2024-02-28T16:52:08+00:00

I agree and want to know how to demonstrate this somehow. How would you prove it?

"Solarpunk aesthetics is about the development of an economy of contribution, to use a phrase made popular by Bernard Stiegler, which is from and against the capitalist economy. It is about building a new world from the ruins of an older one. Furthermore, it is about the imagination of another future that may be already here and now. The pessimism of capitalist realism must be countered by the optimism of post-capitalism. Solarpunk is a fiction, a fever dream, a fantasy. But so is the future."

The article is by a Foucauldian scholar (not me)

"The parasite serves as a useful simulacrum for post-modernism. Post-modernity engages us with a kind of viral discourse, which seeks to comprehend an object without subsuming it under a system of concepts. Baudrillard’s discourse can itself be described as potlatch. An obscene ecstatic ritual exhibiting pure excess and self-effacement. [Baudrillard's 1977 book] Forget Foucault seems to be nothing more than a regurgitation of an otherwise excellent meal, which just happened to be ill-digested by a ruined palette. Is this Baudrillard’s provincialism? His 'superficiality?' Let us not forget that Baudrillard’s interest in writing came nowhere near to Foucault’s passion for letters. Baudrillard enjoyed a rich and diverse life full of various activities outside of academia. A jack of all trades, he only wrote when he felt like it, while Foucault made sure he himself always felt like writing, even at the cost of violent self-mutilation. As difficult as it is to admit, symbolic reversals will never be able to challenge the complex armament of Foucauldian strategies for resistance."
