From the coldness of the ground to the perversion of coldies (An addendum to Pestis Solidus)
By RN
This is an addendum to Pestis Solidus
What is the problem of a cenotaph or a memorial: an empty tomb? What horrifies liveware and its war-machines is not an empty tomb (whose affinities with politic of resurrection are undeniable) but a tomb, exhumed and messed up. Architectural policy of liveware does not reject destruction or de-construction but escapes exhumation
deflowering the face (white wall / black hole), marring and mangling it ... by messing the surfaces, scratching
skinning
burning
eating
turning to dust
cutting into the core, with bare hands, daggers and nails, enzymes
saliva and breath
shovel and plow. Exhumation is all criminal and wicked but further and basically polluting and infecting as it undergoes the surface collision, necrotizing the architecture, proliferating hot and cold surfaces into each other, letting the cold evaporates and the hot be reeked up: Resurrection of the defiled body. The cold cannot be reheated; it is messed up. While Conflict oscillates between dialectical discourses of appropriating intensities (and not appropriated ones) to encounter dimensions (dimension: metron) through which it is absorbed by dimensional assemblages as a cultivating slope, exhumation turns to a strategy, criminal and cryptogenic. Exhumation has no anti-telluric political aggression; on the contrary, it diagrams the power formations of telluric economy not through Genesis Project and its Solidus-in-Circulation machineries but simulates them according to its own rabid rates of speed (mistakes in the speed of Genesis Project) and artificializing space (mute encryption). In exhumation, the where is experienced
the surfaces are razed down to a dust evaporating with no delay
then into invisible hazards synthesizing, infecting and mutating each other, bringing each other to an inter-phyletic wreckage: Plague, Strategy, Corpse, dry GAS. Exhumation has no liberating value unless you prefer to mention that it sets corpses free not as mere dead compositions or corpse as an assemblage of deathware playing the role of an inter-phase or a critical point facilitating the connectedness and confederation of flows in Genesis Project (a gyratory progress around the full body of the Earth), but something emerging from the perverse side of telluric insurgency and its artificializing processes such as a premature resurrection (resurrection of the defiled) which is abhorred by both nature and Genesis management, terminally composed surfaces instead of erased surfaces or simulation of Genesis Project on a molecular level and illegally, etc. The ungrounding process that Hyperstitional Capitalism (CCRU) suggests is the technical drawing of Exhumation (ex- + humus: grund) as both a necromantic practice over the dead (ancient without tradition) and their entombing methods by pinpointing the mistakes in the rates of speed in Genesis Project (or its potential insurrections: schizotrategic lines of paranoia), and a radically perverse modernization process (according to what tradition, on the course of what development, and through the groundness of which grund?). Hyperstitional Capitalism has nothing to do with vertical or horizontic spheres (passing through modernity to beyond) of modernity; it puts itself into a practical (not applicatory, productive or utilitarian) perversion toward anything grounded (entombed?); its modernization process is exhumation: sparking the plague of Anonymous-until-Now (a plague without any kind of incipient motion, of which modernization processes -- bombarded by affixes or not -- are saturated) and messing with coldies rather than coldness. We call our love partners, coldies.
Exhumation plagues niches (from burial chambers, raums, dwelling / accommodating systems to significations / subjectifications and facialities) from where they retain, economize and conjunct their raumers, interspersing them through the economy of affordance and pliable grids (reticulum) of economized intensities (slope-intensities) capable of appropriating, architecting, capturing and even in the most creative ways, fusing with other intensities (copulare) for generating them through the Genesis Project and its configurations; exhumation plagues from the medium. It is the medium as process -- a crisscross of fluxes streaming as intermodal torrents -- assembling (investing metron) the pseudo-flux economy of niche or to a greater extent, Genesis Project or solidus-in-circulation machinery whether by conserving and production (monolithic economy of niche) or endless inter-weaving and horizontal propagating of slopes and pseudo-fluxes for accommodating any mode of encounter (in the sense of conjunction, confrontation or convergence) and transcending its inhibitor (under the gravitation of inevitable hospitality) to that which introduces itself to everything as raumer or grounded(ing) agent, the polysemy of metron, the introspection of Genesis Project to itself or the semantic closure of Groundness which exfoliates the grund (through slope processes, horizons, boundaries and surfaces) instead of framing or binding it.
Grund is a desert seeking to be cultivated and cross-fertilized; actually, not being fertilized by predetermined cultivators to produce something (the groundness of itself, etc.) but by the fertilizing bonds and forces it creatively engineers, by activating its ultimate Potenz through overcultivating tillage of cultivation. The ultimate non-objective process of grund is overcultivation by being cultivated, to be exhausted by cultivation, to remain a desert-forever, for not going further but navigating the boundlessness of the desertum. Through the erratic courses of overcultivation, the ground does not avoid wastes and intensities but impregnates them by its dynamic terrains, trigger the whole panorama of 'encounter with intensities and their micro-wastes' within the Genesis Project (See The halftone of two pulsional principles in Pestis Solidus). The ground does not conduct, regulate or organize intensities (what psychoanalysis always emphasizes in a squinting, crypto-conservative manner), it does not transform them into something consolidated (conduct is a monolithic, and always an old-fashion technique of solidus-in-circulation) but it gives them something and sets them free (the lineage of anthropomorphic hospitality: co(u)pulation insemination withdrawal); we are always on the course of withdrawal.
Groundness is not a dangling content which is added (adjective) to the grund, nor is it a lineament, nor an ethos, nor a modifier but the tectonic expansion or the sprawling politic of the grund i.e. the telluric rituals of the ground sealed with a rune: slope.
Desertification (performing the space of groundness) is engineered through both the ingredient and shifting itineraries of slope. Desertification does happen when flux is lured to the ungoverned and crazy ingredient of slope; the monolithic channel regime of fluvius starts to disintegrate and mass-waste along and over of the banks. On the other hand, through sudden and sporadic shifts in slope itineraries (or by way of aberrant behavior of slope), the fluvial / alluvial contents of despotic and hydraulically managed river unload over the riverbanks and beyond, irregularly and without any management. The dynamic process of regional tilting increases slope angles over large areas empowering the desertification machinery. Slope always augments the fluvial deposition of flux through nonlinear and irregular courses through which desertification is intensified. This is the successful suicide (a grounded suicide) that the grund devotes to its terrains and geographies, for undergoing the fully dynamic process of desertification, performing its groundness. However, such unconventional suicide does not only feed the hunger of desertification but also, engineers an immense architectonic force of landscaping; this is another secret lying on the mass-waste process of flux triggered by the aberrant behavior of slope, its ingredient and liberating body. It is the same slope-intensity, slope-flux, or baroque polyline that is teeming through Francis Bacon's figures; configuring them, landscaping their ferociously disintegrating bodies. Watch those figures again and behold the might of unconventional grounding process of slope, the fruitful suicide.
But, once again, what is the problem of cenotaph or an empty tomb? Does it try to appropriate exhumation process as an unholy search for the resurrected body of an arch-face (the Christ) or digging up corpses? Or it is the problem of distilling the whole destiny of Genesis Project within a desolated memorial?
