e-flux Index #5

Index #5 is structured according to a “deviant taxonomy” of nine new emergent thematic categories. In the exploratory, playful spirit of Bas Jan Ader’s video work Primary Time (1974) or Susan Hiller’s reflection on the forbidden pleasures of childhood taxonomies, more than that of Carl Linnaeus’ reductive straitjackets, each of these categories represents an attempt at daisy cutting samples from the heterogenous, complex meadow of discourse across the arts, architecture, education, theory, and politics.
