Deleuzeian Diversion 1

 


Central Derby, July 2021



"Production is not recorded in the same way it is produced.  Or rather, it is not reproduced within the apparent objective movement in the same way in which it is produced within the process of constitution.






"In fact, we have passed imperceptibly into a domain of the production of recording, whose law is not the same as that of the production of production.






"The law governing the latter was connective synthesis or coupling.  But when the productive connections pass from machines to the body without organs (as from labour to capital), it would seem that they then come under another law that expresses a distribution in relation to the nonproductive element as a 'natural or divine presupposition' (the disjunctions of capital).






"Machines attach themselves to the body without organs as so many points of disjunction, between which an entire network of new syntheses is now woven, marking the surface off into co-ordinates, like a grid." [1.]
