Network Glass - Joker Culture (Excerpt)

Panel with Lisa Blanning, Matt Colquhoun, Steven Warwick; moderated by Terence Sharpe

Thursday 30 January 2020
 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.

Cartridge-blown gusts of breath form small pockets of air that bubble to the surface of the brine, proccing wind eddies across the nearby island all the way up to its arid peaks. Water sloshing, waves crashing. Toms erratic and ecstatic. Pockets of serenity.

On MAUNA KEA, @crwsh wallhacks his way into a mixed reality, offering to the listener an isometrically rendered tropical island soundtracked by in-game field recordings. Loosely inspired by equal sections of Reefsong by Carol Severance, The Hawaiian Archipelago by Isabella L., Wikipedia and Hawaiian mythology, MAUNA KEA takes you on a theory-crafted journey from the deepwater trenches of the North Pacific to the archipelago’s titular peak.

The EP’s five-track selection arranges complex compositions of sound textures into a sweeping, mysterious utopia. Lush swathes of seemingly haphazard data reveal themselves as carefully planted conversation trees under which voyagers are invited to relax and wonder. Tracks are thrust forward by rhythms simultaneously alien and comforting, interspersed with nervous clicks and fits gnawing at the edge of consciousness. Always unbending before the next hike.

MAUNA KEA’s natural progression creates the auditory equivalent of a compulsion loop, drawing the listener deeper into its...  more
