• The artist collective, investigates in affecto-poetic dimensions of sonic universes, tangible things, computational and chemical processes for Doing philosophy and to bring into the table questions of subejectified beings, material and ecological relation, and the dynamic co-constitution of the many forms that make up the complexity of social life. The sensations arose from sonic existential territories (performer-kinetic sound sculptures-composition) move the perception in infinite speed towards thought. These machinic assemblages become intensive concepts that take form within the processes of thought-in-motion. The question of subjectivity is at sake for the collective, and more specifically those molar lines of flights and proceesses of individuation that have encastrated their desire and condamened them to be subjectified as the Third World citizens. This schizophrenic musicking allows them to travel within concepts for exposing their struggles. Each intestive sonic installation brings with it sensations that are of conceptual nature. The in-between itenerary suggested by interrelation of artistic monuments brings us to travel to a pre-stage form of thought. The artists have formed houses to make expressive forces that go beyond the subject, forces that stand alone in moving us through this travel. The collective make us travel between intensities of conceptual beings, those that express their struggles with issues of representation, the surveillance and algorithmic governmentality, capitalism & geo-petropolitical undercurrents in the “Middle East' and the 'Third World', and the dominance of transcendent theology and the ignorance of what they call the schizophrenic divinity and other than human-relations with the world.
