The Fold: A Physical Model of Abstract Reversibility and Envelopment
Elisabet Yanagisawa Avén
For artistic research, the model of the fold is exceptionally
interesting because it deals with how form and content intertwine
in a physical model, and how concrete and abstract interrelate on
the plane of consistency. In my paper I focus on chapter two of
Deleuze’s The Fold (1992) and take up the concept of
“inflection” as an elastic point in the model of the fold that
discloses a...

The philosophical proposition of the rhizome offers a “structure”

as a basic principal for consideration in the generation of phys...

Aesthetics of Power
Sybrandt van Keulen

after a volcanic eruption in the 1960s off the south coast of
Iceland, is exposed on ten large billboards in a newly developed
area in Amsterdam, the Dutch main business hub called Zuidas.
Conceptually Land...

Zigzagging: Bound by the Absence of Tie
Andrej Radman
The paper will unpack Deleuze/Guattari’s machinic conception of
consistency, which is determined neither by the autonomy of the
vitalist whole (organicism) nor by the geometric expression of the
whole in its parts (mechanicism), but by the dark precursor’s
zigzagging between the Scylla of submissive empathy and the
Charybdis of dominating abstraction. In the words of Deleuze: “it
is not a ma...
