H Curt et al11 Ways to escape the symbolic FieldThank you Curt to not just accept the constraints (language) of post post structuralistic people. This was also - I think - the point of Merleau's controversy towards Sartre's existentialismApart from being pushed to a (pre?) romanticism it looks like as if when 'reality' leaks out from idiosyncratisms such as glitch/glitch-art/art it is met with a forcefull repulsion to stay in just that same realm of 'containment'. As if the 'contents' are for ever to be hidden by the 'package'A glitch or a rupture should or can reveal the contents through the package, whether the package is an art/philosophical societal/political or an otherwise rigid authoritarian systemic world constructing machinic deviceThat makes me think - again - how wrong McLuhan was: the meaning is not the message/massage, the meaning is the package and as such 'no-meaning / no-knowing' or the 'unknown unknows' are revealed through cracks in the semantic surfaceAndreas http://nictoglobe.com/AudioPerdu/listen.m3uSent from my eXtended BodYOn 9 dec. 2011, at 21:52, Curt Cloninger  wrote:> Hi Eduardo (Andreas, and all),> > The apparant paradox of "The void is all there is" merely reveals the prejudice toward "presence" which is built into predicative language systems.
