Daniel Coffeen — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:05:57 GMT

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.

Daniel Coffeen — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 03:02:49 GMT

Daniel Coffeen — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 23:34:29 GMT

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.

Tuesday, September 30: Beginning Bergson's Matter and Memory

Daniel Coffeen — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 03:11:14 GMT

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

The Site of Seeing, or The Architecture of the Seeing Event

Daniel Coffeen — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 00:41:12 GMT

When we see images, a space is forged between and amongst ourselves and the image: the space is created right then and there. An image is not a mnemonic. A bit more on Jl Godard's Contempt and Wes Anderson's Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

Life Aquatic: Seeing the technology of seeing

Daniel Coffeen — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 01:50:44 GMT

We watch the opening of Godard's Contempt and see the seeing of the camera seeing the seeing of Bardot's body. We look at some images. We watch the beginning of The Life Aquatic, which I interrupt often to comment on.
