In Anarcho-culture, one lives the free
game of all codes which occur in world of networks, thus breaking with all transcendent
institutions based on authority and unicity, provoking an uncontrolled heterogenization
which cannot be caught by any apparatus. It happens as a perpetual cultural transformation,
where "cultural authority" can't exert any power over its manifestations.
Pure connectivity that escapes the concepts, the authority, and those who want
to impose a form. Don't expect epiphanies or ontological originalities, heroic
avant-gardes or teleologies of emancipation, but a virtual world full of potentialities,
where a free game happens among its codes, a free game of the diagonals which
cross all the plains, all the disciplines that interweave the heterogeneous multiplicities
in a free game of connections. Replications, samplings, paraphrases, strategic
connections, heuristic resendings, creative alterities are its modes of acting.
The new, the old, none of these things matter any longer: they stayed in the far-away
past of historical modernity.

Those goals have lost their force, they
became academic, too much academic. In the societies of virtual networks, one
lives an immanent need: the indiscriminate potentialization of its micrologic
(nano) parts. All will be potentialized, provoking an extraordinary indeterminate
production of the absolute; control and discontrol happen at the same time, but
they will always be assimetrical. No longer the equation State/Revolution = State,
but Empire/Attack = Attack, i. e., global instability and permanent temporal unexpectancy.
Then the Anaximandrian apeiron (unlimited) can coexist in the contemporary virtual
machination in such a manner that it becomes a pre-conceptual instance of all
virtual networks. We're no longer in the age of "post", but of "pre".
The theory of non-linear networks and anarcho-culture demand a pre-conceptual
instance; pre-formal; pre-philosophic; pre-metaphysical; pre-structural; pre-historical,
without which we won't get free of concepts, forms, philosophies, metaphysics,
structures and history. |
