Siegfried Zielinksi notes.

Shirin Hasad, Muslim artist based in New York.

Miao Xiaochun, Dumont Publishers Cologne 2010.
- work on Renaissance images.

The strong tendencies to integrate Art into strategies--> the market, business, etc.
Marketing eats everything up--> Art can't survive inside it. Flash Mobs as suicide bomb attempts on the Internet.

Hans Bellmer's Doll. A hermetic work, erotic obsession. 1932. Decided not to do work that can be used by society. A contortion of the female form.

Per-Son---> translated as "sounding through". Dating to Renaissance theater--> masks--> sounds coming out/through the mask.  Personality as something always constituted.

"Electricity is the Soul of New Media", Siegfried Zielinski.


(Poetry is a perpetual longing & flirtation with the Other.)
(A Poetics of Electricity...)

Fritz Kahn, "Man as an Industrial Palace." 5 Volumes 1928-1932.

(Knowledge as projected onto the Body as a cite for experimentation & "getting to know" of developing knowledge as a time code specific to its own space & time also altering. Knowledge is temporal. We must understand the apparatus in which knowledge is developing & being disseminated. There is no way to "know" the apparatus itself since its in a perpetual state of flux.) 

Marqui de Sade's Justine (positive) & Juliet (negative) in relation to theologi electrici & materializing God.

Athanasius Kircher. 17th century.---> presence of God through Electricity. Later, with Descarte and onward, this was molded into a materialist theology.

Physical Theology:
- insecto
-bronto
-litho
-itchyo

John Freke's "A Treatise on Electricity". 1688-1756. "Fabulum vitae". Electricity feeds all living & non-living things.

God--->Electricity--->Humans = This relationship produces, is an expression of the tripartite relationship through things.

Das Venus Experiment.
