Glimpse 1470 (Oct 11 2025)

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.

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

Out Now: https://noumenalloom.bandcamp.com/album/safari-explorer-kent-install

Kent Install is the debut record from Safari Explorer, a solo project by Dilian, musician/producer based in Brooklyn, NY. Safari Explorer is an exploration / exercise in creating pop melodies that pull influence from Cumbia, he often heard growing up in Mexico City, and from Dilian’s worldwide travel.

The album doesn’t function as a concept album, instead focusing more on found meanings in novel combinations and a pop approach. Recorded mostly on 4 tracks and with minimal gear, the album is an emotional tour of Dilian’s interior world + a world where access is immediate and global in the data age.

Winter Song

Furtherset returns to -OUS with his album ‘To Live Tenderly Anew’, following his EPs ‘To Alter and Affect’ and ‘Drawings of Desire and Hate’. He notes: “I think of my previous two EPs for -OUS and this album as a trilogy, where this album is the final chapter”. Furtherset is in search of hidden connections beyond harmonies and rhythm. Melodies are repeated until they reach their breaking point. Moments of relief are drowned out in densely packed sound. Intensity is maximized to the nth degree, creating a crest point that threatens to overwhelm pre-existing traces of activity completely.

The opening track ‘To Live Tenderly Anew’ begins with a fragile melody, only to erupt into pulsating synthesizer figures that continuously expand, before pulverizing into sharp, noise-flecked fragments, and finally dissolving into an ambient pad. Midway-through ‘The Logic of a Secret’, the music finally sparks into Furtherset’s signature arpeggio patterns, sprinting over a powerful bassline. The album finally climaxes with ‘Choirs of Deception and Truth’, a beatless rave hymn, before it, too, dissolves into deep space. Using only synthesizers, Furtherset creates metamorphic music, drawing on ambient, modern classical and rave, and building on his individual approach to composition, where long fades and periodic cuts continuously transform the scene.

The album’s title references Amelia Rosselli’s 1956 poem ‘Diario in tre lingue’, in which the experimental writer - who was born in exile in Paris, moved to the UK after the murder of her anti-fascist activist father, was educated in the US and finally settled in Rome - charts relations between the Italian, the French & the English. This poem laid the groundwork for her singular trilingual poetry, a body of work engaged in the research of tradition, and how tradition is passed on in disjointed manifestations.
