"The contrast lies in the notation and performance and is discrete across all three ranges.  There is no telling how much of the performance outcome is due to real kinship with the score or how much is due to musical ingenuity and luck coincidence."

RECORDING WITHDRAWN

Non­decisional immanence, which allows itself to be posited as already given without decisional positing, is an immanence that does not even need to be liberated from decisional transcendence: it is precisely as that which is already separated (without­ separation) from the decisional co­constitution of given and givenness, immanence and transcendence, that it conditions its own positing as already given.

Adjuncts

from the Performance Notes:

“What is necessary is to overcome painting, sculpture, poetry and music. We need a more comprehensive art that meets the requirements of the new spirit.”

- Lucio Fontana

This unprecedented spirit indicates the characteristics of the algorithm and its usurpation of media specificity. This combinatory aspect of his thought is what makes Fontana’s shredding of the classical modernist flat picture plane far more than an art historical curiosity (or modern tragedy).

...with Fontana, the grand, elegant slashing of monochromatic canvases with a razor blade, far from an act of desperation, symbolizes a subordination of place to space typical of most tribal rituals. It is an invitation to mentally move beyond the surface of reality into an unconditioned reality. It is a conceptual act of access into the overwhelming infinite; an act more spatial than psychological.
