 CTM 2020 – Liminal 
Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin

The late Mark Fisher’s work, like all philosopher’s work, oscillated through different stages throughout his life. Starting in cultural-studies, to philosophy under the CCRU, to cold rationalism to anti-capitalist critique, Fisher's work was a project of constantly trying to come to terms with a world that begged belief, as is the case with the evolution of any intellectual worth their salt. There was throughout all of this a constant undercurrent indebted to psychoanalysis.

For Fisher the idea of world-building came with responsibility, something his work takes into great consideration with very sincere care. As he described in his later writings, the socio-political disease of our time is that of pervasive stasis in a rapidly accelerated culture. If we take the liminal as that which can occupy either side of a boundary, that which acknowledges complexity, then we see an opportunity perhaps to the deadlock of binaries presented by the worst trapping of the contemporary right and left.

This panel takes as its kernel the concept of Egress, a word used by Fisher to describe the exiting of the current cultural malaise through analysing the politics of teleology and collectivism. Liminality itself must be critiqued with the urgent need for determinacy in mind. Perhaps a solution to the pitfalls of liminality is that of determinacy, that cultural production must operate within a strong pedagogical model if it is to make its way out of its liminality. Fisher postulated that what was required for real transgression was a reprisal of the spirit of a world that could be free, to go beyond the beyond the pleasure principle.

Presented with transmediale.

CTM 2020: On k-punk—Egress and the Fisher Function

Yolabmi - Rebirth - (Senglar Birth Full Version)

This mix is the exact opposite of calm. If you need an energy boost - here it is. Anxious, itchy, scratchy, manic, jittery Post-Punk songs. But also funky, taut, melodic, and incredibly catchy. 
I was listening to Fire Engines recently and wondered if there’s anything, anywhere near as good as their song “Get Up and Use Me”. So, I racked my brain and came up with over 60 tracks, which I whittled down to the 30 here. Few match the catchiness and anxious energy of “Get Up and Use Me”, but the rest come close. Anyway, here’s a 3 liter bottle of Coke in musical form. Chug.
