“…To this medium, lying below the level of the visible, he gives the name matrix, and he begins to follow its activity, which he recognizes as the production not of the gestalt but of bad form, the activity through which form is in fact transgressed.” (Krauss, The Optical Unconscious, p.218)
Moteur!
Posted on: April 5th, 2013 by mar
I’ve reached the letter ‘M’ (Moteur!) in Formless: A User’s Guide by Yve-Alain Bois and Rosalind Krauss (the catalog for the 1996 exhibition, L’Informe: Mode D’Emploi at the Centre Pompidou). Anyway, in writing about pulse, Krauss refers to some experimental films (see below) and writes:
“What seems to drive the repetitive pulse of one organ dissolving into the image of another is a sense of the erosion of good form, an experience of prägnanz in the grip of the devolutionary forces of a throb that disrupts the laws of form, that overwhelms them. And it is here that Duchamp invents the pulse as one of the operations of the formless, the pulse that brings the news that we ‘see’ with our bodies.” (p.135)
