In anarcho-culturalism, all cultural
production is there to be replicated, altered, lacerated, slashed and contaminated;
everyone will be able to make "art", everyone will be able to make music,
you just need to "destroy them" (replication, sampling); the goal of
anarcho-culturalism is the making and experimentation of the absolute OTHER. In
the universe of alterity both time and space become non-linear and non-homogenous:
pre-time, pre-space. There is no more a unity of space, a spatial substance or
a spatial form. In pre-space, where the arché was withdrawn as a constituent
element, there remains only anarcho-space, whose inexact dimensions connect infinitely
to each other; extension, gone virtual, liquefies the geometrizing solidity, creating
a strange link between time and space, or what could be called catatonic time
(anarcho-virtual-time). It is the time of non-linear networks, in a strict connection
to time and virtual space. Neither sequential or simultaneous continuity, nor

limitating atomized instants, but strategic
stops (temporal epokhe), where time passes with nothing passing, with a zapping
of discontinuous fluxes, and in this case there is a temporal leap, where time
doesn't pass, exceeding all speeds. The temporal epokhe (suspension) happens when
time replicates itself, appearing as absent time, hence becoming spatial; the
faster the temporal replication, more spatial it will seem. A very illustrative
example of this situation of temporal suspension appears in Richard Serra's One-Ton
Prop (House of Cards), where four lead plates are propped against each other in
such a way that they keep vertical just because of the reciprocate tension between
them. This tension was called prop. The great novelty of this sculpture is that
it no more inhabits only space, but also time. It only exists while its parts
keep leaning against one another, but time is not felt as passing, but as in abeyance.
