Felix Guattari: Chaosmosis: An Ethoco-Aesthetic Paradigm, 1992

Upon reading it again, this text scanned from Bishop's reader is a good transition between the first and the second days of RT3_0708. In it Guattari describes aesthetic practices as forming a process of 'becoming' and leading to the reinvention of individual and collective subjectivities. It is a partially autonomous zone of activity, but one integrated into the social field. As such it can become a model for new forms of life opposed to banal capitalist rationality and working against disciplinary boundaries. Science, technology and social relation should drift towards an aesthetic paradigms. It is as well in this piece that he asks the immemorial question: "how do you make a class operate like a work of art"?
