Chaosophy - autonomous learning

speak for a cerebral father, but for a collective full body, the machinic
agency on which the machine sets up its connections and produces
its ruptures.
The machinic painters stressed the following: that they did not
paint machines as substitutes for still lifes or nudes; the machine is
not a represented object any more than its drawing is a representation.
The aim is to introduce an element of a machine, so that it
combines with something else on the full body of the canvas, be it
with the painting itself, with the result that it is precisely the
ensemble of the painting that functions as a desiring-machine. The
induced machine is always other than the one that appears to be
represented. It will be seen that the machine proceeds by means of
an "uncoupling" of this nature, and ensures the deterritorialization
that is characteristic of machines, the inductive, or rather the
transductive quality of the machine, which defines recurrence, as
opposed to representation-projection: machinic recurrence versus
Oedipal projection. These opposing tenns mark a struggle, or a disjunction,
as can be seen, for example, in Aeroplap (1)a, or Automoma,
and again in Victor Brauner's Machine a connaztre en forme Mere. 6 In
Picabia's work, the finished design connects up with the incongruous
inscription, with the result that it is obliged to function with this
code, with this program, by inducing a machine that does not
resemble it. With Duchamp, the real machine element is directly
introduced, either standing on its own merits or set-off by its
shadow, or, in other instances, having its place in the ensemble
determined by an aleatory mechanism that induces the still-present
representations to change roles and statuses: Tu m' for example. The
machine stands apart from all representation (although one can
always represent it, copy it, in a manner however that is completely
devoid of interest), and it stands apart because it is pure Abstraction;
it is nonfigurative and nonprojective. Leger demonstrated convincingly
that the machine did not represent anything, itselfleast of
