Our own Adam wrote "Counter-Insurgency of the Eye: The Anti-Ocular Conspiracy" in the weeks after joining Acid Horizon. It is an essay which endeavors to clearly render the nature of power in relation to perceptibility and recognizability. In other words, it describes how 'ocularity' is important to configuring political subjectivities. Moreover, it examines how the management of the perceptual dimension of society serves in the recuperation of dominant power. Those who evade or resist 'the eye' thus automatically insert themselves into the realm of 'anti-ocular conspiracy'. The eye, however, has ways of finding what has vanished from its purview...

This patron exclusive is also read by our own Will. We hope you enjoy it.

You can also read along as you listen. Find this essay and more on Adam's blog:

Thank you Will for sharing that. For me it brought more clarity as to what is meant by the "outside". Additionally at the end there he was specifically referencing the body without organs, right? That's probably super obvious but I'm very new to these readings. And, one more thing, is he building the idea of the ocular from another source? Or, what was he reading that inspired him to understand the ocular? Maybe the question is, what tradition does this author come out of?

Honestly this mainly came out of a paranoiac episode which I understood through what I was already reading at the time (Fisher, Hegel, Tiqqun, Bataille, D&amp;G, and Malabou).

Can you say “Womb of Insurgency” again ?

Holy fuck: would you like to talk about this and animal ethics/aesthetics? This is also so in tune w/ the PC Music episode!
