We read Wim Wender's essay, Impossible Stories, and discuss the respective syntax of words and images.

We discuss the chapter on art from Deleuze and Guattari's What is Philosophy? This is perhaps the best book to begin with for those interested in D&G: it is smart, lucid, nutty but has a coherent argument.

We look at, and discuss, the beauty and brilliance of Marc Lafia's multiscreen films, Permutations. You can see some of them here: http://www.marclafia.net/cinema_engine/

An odd, complex discussion of the terms of the limit: the limit here is not a constraint, is not external but is the very terms of a thing, its difference.

A continued discussion of Deleuze's Painting Before the Painting....and different strategies and tactics for fighting cliches.

We're reading the chapter entitled, The Painting Before Painting from Deleuze's book on Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation.

It's in 2 parts b/c I stopped the recorder.....

A brief, pithy discussion about why we're choosing to see the world this way. Why? you ask. Because it is joyful, affirmative of this life, healthy. And then we read the beginning of Bergson's Matter and Memory. And look at an image or two.

Proffering the very odd relationship between the material and the affective.
