I’m skeptical. Contemporary artistic practice is a self referential system. It’s a game of recombinations. Its relation to the art market obstructs the chance of any critical approach to the regulation of today’s society.
Duchamp: You’re jealous. Because as a writer you don’t have the chance to sell your works.

The history of Chinese painting and the history of Chinese research on magnetism converge in the word dao. I doubt that the dao is useful for contemporary artistic practice.
Magnes: There was a time when people conceived me as a sort of key. A key to experiences of infinity, of the universe, of the sublime.
Realometer: Given that it makes sense to speak of origins and starts: When did calculation start? It must have started with inscription, with carving.
Natel: With what we today call graphical interfaces. What about tattoos?
Realometer: First man carved into his own flesh, then into the ground apart from him.
Jabès: Singing chants challenges inscription and writing.
Realo: Texts are frozen waves, which are set into movement by reading and copying. Copying a text is a form of creating an atmosphere, of tuning in.
Magnes: Don’ t be silly, let’s think of ways to avoid strict rules and oppositions like good and bad.
Duchamp: A charming way could be to signal how oppositions and rules evolve. Where does the rectangle come from, why and how did mankind start to draw lines?
Realo: How brave and interesting, sorry but I prefer to watch Magneto.
