Description

This book is broadly based on Bernhard Siegler's critique of AI as damaging to processes of individuation and the ethical issues this raises. Stiegler writes about what he calls ‘control societies’ which to varying degrees is applicable to societies worldwide where there is a loss of symbolic participation and a loss of individuation due to the market-oriented technology of hyper-industrialization.

The book explores processes of individuation and transitional multi -mode practices from the perspective of psychoanalytic theory, philosophy and the material practices of a variety of artists and writers including those of the author in terms of painting as research.

This book sets out to outline certain creative artistic practices that return us, through the primacy of collecting, layering, transformational contingency and touch, to the world and its palpable materiality in the form of Transitional Multi-Mode Practices as a way to enhance individuation, singularity and creative agency.
