Abstract
Heterogenesis of the Anartist. Catalysis of a character, a praxis, a strategy, a knowledge.
By Gian Luigi Biagini, Aalto University, Finland
The paper concerns my praxis of Disturbanism (Disturb Urbanism) and the Anartist (Anarchist Artist), who is the agency-character of this praxis. The text starts with a biographical style to show the contingent situation of the genesis of the Anartist. This genesis is, indeed, an heterogeneous catalysis that follows the ontology of Deleuze&Guattari as described in A thousand Plateaus and in Chaosmosis. Then the text goes on to describe my first 2 artworks that are also contingent to the heterogenesis of the Anartist. Here the style becomes more theory-specific to define the potentiality of the Anartist as “transpersona” and its role of “marker” in the emergent refrain of the Heteron. The Heteron is an outsider-refrain generated inside the capitalist medium. The Heteron is here described in opposition to the Common. In the meantime the paper illustrates the superposition between Anarchist and Alchemist in the plane of schizo-composition of the Anartist simulacrum. The Anartist is an avatar that allows access to the sacred experience of a chaosmystic event unleashed by a Disturbanist Intervention. A Disturbanist intervention disturbs the design-code of the Capitalist space to open the potential for a subversive sacred event. This text is prophecy-theory for a reversion yet to come.
