Perceptual Anarchism: Impressionism and the
invention of cinema, a reflection on the processes through which the image
became pixellated, and the contradictions that the process brought with
it. This originally formed part of the argument now rehearsed in Chapter
2 of Digital Aesthetics
-
Horizons: On Nomadic Communications and the
Escuela de Santiago, a conference paper exploring themes of letter-writing,
airmail and airmail stamp design taken up in the final chapter of the book.
The essay also relates to work I have done in the past on the Chilean airmail
artist Eugenio Dittborn, to whom many thanks.
-
The Churning of the Waters: a catalogue essay
on the work of Bashir Makhoul, all too briefly mentioned in the closing
chapter as an exemplary diasporan artist
-
The Angel of Mediation: a catalogue essay on
the work of Simon Biggs, mentioned n the chapter on Turbulence
-
The Relevance of the Baroque: it broke my heart
to cut this. A brief argument that we inhabit not a new renaissance but
a new baroque, a theme picked up at various points in the book but never
quite distilled. Perhaps now I would look more closely at Christine Bucci-Glucksman's
work on Benjamin and modernity, Baroque Reason. This cut also includes
further discussion of Simon Biggs' work.

The Materiality of the Text: a historicised
plea for attention to shift from the abstraction of text to the materials
-- paper, inks, type; or glass, light, pixels -- that carry it and that
provide the first experience we have of it
