Negation of Complicated Mirrors

The paradox of the relationship between explanatory schemes of the differentiation of reasoning and instrumental reason has been analysed with the intention of opening a discussion more than of establishing a position on conditions of possibility. This analysis leads to the construction of new concepts in creative processes, which was to unfold a proliferation not just of the forms but also of the modalities. As such, that creation comes into being through this negation. To consider these issues, the book brings together a number of inter-related fields of creative practice and situates critical inquiry in methodologies that structure how the 'subject' manifests itself, linking artistic works and curatorial activities is developed through a series of philosophical reflections. The book seen as a whole examines these 'encounters' that facilitates a mirror' reflection of a world "yet-to-come" through varied means for engagement through art production and theoretical and curatorial positions.
