Arthur Jafa – Slowpex, 2022 Live Evil – Luma Arles

"I wish to abandon imitation and illusion and enter directly into the higher drama of: celluloid, two dimensional strips; individual rectangular frames; the nature of sprockets and emulsion; projector operations; the three dimensional reflective screen surface; the retinal screen; optic nerve and individual psycho-physical subjectivities of consciousness. In this cinematic drama, light is energy rather than a tool for the representation of non-filmic objects; light as energy is released to create its own objects , shapes and textures. Given the fact of retinal inertia and the flickering shutter mechanism of film projection, one may generate virtual forms, create actual motion (rather than illustrate it), build actual color-space (rather than picture it), and be involved in actual time (immediate presence)."

A history of the disaccumulation of our pre-capitalist knowledges

The spring edition of our small press electronic zine is out! “The Natural Law” spring 2024 12-page spread draws from a range of sources relevant to Red/Black bodies, minds, words and worlds. The treatments explore points of origin outside of Western thought and where their assertions lead. In light, editorial style with minimalist elements of design, this short read promises food for thought.
