A conversation with John Sheridan left artist/activist about the problematics induced by capitalism in France and the USA, and its incompatibility with human welfare. This is the first of a series of two. The second one will try to transmit the rough sketches of our understanding of the solutions French and US activists have invented […]
#39 The formulas of sexuation #02 Back to the formulas of sexuation. Many issues needed clarification. That's what we tried to do. All our workshops: This is it
A general equation for all chains and nodes This disputation continues, and amplifies , the intervention of Michel Thomé at the last Saturday of Lysimaque. We return to the definitions and characteristics of links and knots. Then Michel Thomé describes the equation he produced, which allows you to write each node and […]
We produce recordings of meetings between two or three people who “dispute” about an object.

Each one's certainties revealed to be different! What I mean by this question is that — Sometimes the torus is solid (torus belongs to R ^ 3) typically […]
