Following up on their interview with June Reith a few weeks back, Jack and Dan decided for this show to take her advice and read Designing Freedom by business consultant and cybernetician Stafford Beer. First delivered as a series of radio lectures in 1973, designing freedom is a scathing critique of the principles of organisation that underlay contemporary social institutions and an impassioned appeal for change. Beer outlines how we might design a social system that, instead of ossification, decay and crisis, has freedom as its output.

The lads also endeavor to work out how these principles might contribute to how we understand the task of setting up a socialist society and also what effective socialist organisations would look like if they we influenced by Beerian cybernetics.

Excerpts ƒrom «Fog» - in «Sea and Fog» (2012)by Etel Adnan   :

« We’re flooded by incurable energies. There’s no way out of one’s skin, one’s language, one’s passions. Will Being’s collapse happen in this universe or in another?

Writing is an activity that confronts images with the ideas that try to sort them out. But when fires begin to engulf big chunks of California, we turn numb.

Some 400 planets are orbiting around stars outside the solar system. There are also intermediary zones, chasms, where life throbs, like in this room, this fog.

(…)

We fear love, supreme terror lying at truth’s deepest layer. 

Like an onion that you peel ring after ring, ending on a void, your “identity” turns around a hole… but if a tree is, I am, – for each, a destiny.

Transparencies within obscurity: in objects, empty space, or ideas. Sometimes we break their inner walls to uncover their mystery, but to remain in the dark.

When everything alive will have disappeared, the great expanses of sheer rock under a pitiless sun will start to show that they too have an inner life.

They administered electro-shocks to the poet. They could as well have beaten his brain with baseball bats. They reduced him to a haggard and confused wounded tiger. We used to go from café to café in search of him. Whenever we found him, we gave him cigarettes.

Poetry had already burned his brain, but differently. It had enlarged his pupils. Though reading his works aloud in the streets, we were ill at-ease as we had a little money, and he had none.

In the Orion nebula the Herschel special observatory revealed the imprints of organic molecules such as water, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, cyanide, methanol… O impatience!

We’re sliding inexorably toward a new rapport with Nature: would the trip to Mars alter the way we shoot birds?

The rosebush in the remaining garden will remain equal to itself, but would our sense of smell respond?

Still, we’re going into the deep sky. We monitor hydrogen’s particular radiation when heated by the birth of new stars and detect photons escaping and being intercepted by clouds of interstellar gas and dust. We’re getting ready.

In the mean-time empires are crumbling. Earth has become too small for the energies that are being unleashed. As revolutions have lost their appeal, mega-storms are in the making, involving weather, matter, and destruction.

Better to stay in the shade, where memory weakens more easily. Better even to stay awake till the early hours of the day so to have the luxury of refusing the light. »

Gilbert Simondon - On The Mode Of Existence Of Technical Objects

Lamentabile   W.F. Bach

CETERÅ ØSCURA

~~~
Et sans remords j'ai pénétré dans la forêt
Où les arbres étaient pareils à mes paroles
Tu ne reverras plus les astres Le regret
De leurs lueurs et de leurs vaines hyperboles
Emplira ton destin Et cette humide odeur
De millénaire pourriture de ces feuilles
Ce sera le parfum de l'immobile ardeur
Qui doit t'emplir un jour sans que vif tu le veuilles
~~~

[Pareils à mes paroles]
Paul Verlaine, Le Guetteur mélancolique

This is the echo of one of the very first improvisations on a new instrument, Cetera Øscura, made by the corsican Lute-maker Ugo Casalonga at my special request.
