“Welcome to the age of
differential henology”
This text leaves us with a clearing of the conceptual ground for thinking of the Intellect as unbounded production (as you are about to see unfold). This setting is able to provide a meaning to acceleration as the relinquishment of identity to itself. All that can be automated, must be, for it already is; real acceleration derives from the potentiality to realize that which one already eels is at work in the now, the wirklich working its way to the real. The tedious bone-crushing wheels of history will never stop turning, not until they have turned the world itself into a purposeless engine, at which point there will be no calculation left to execute anyway. The logic of extinction here reveals itself as the condition for anarchic creation to operate, as its unilateral counterpart. Instead of giving ourselves to erotics or, Gods forbid, aesthetics as a replacement for thought, there remains only the immanent necessity of understanding Thinking as a thinking of the Beautiful. — Louise Morelle, Foreword
The book where it all began. There would be no Becoming Press without Technically Man Dwells, a book authored by someone who even to today has captured the hearts of a lot of the people who follow Becoming’s activities; a deep appreciation for the intelligence of this author is something that the group shares in common. This book is excellent; a very elegant prose that gives an incredibly sophisticated deconstruction and response, to, Artificial Intelligence, and the question of A.I art. The time of Art has come; because the time of the Artist is over!
It is unlikely that this book will be reprinted. Introduced with grace by Louise Morelle.
