Quasi object

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

The quasi object seems to be a third element that relates, or defines the perspective from which to read, the ‘reciprocal determination between the subject and object’.  I am unclear as to whether this quasi object could also be thought of as the noise or the filter. If the noise is the ‘entropic’ quality in a system then perhaps the quasi object can be both (noise and filter). In this model, it can create a new way to read the relationship between the subject and the object by creating the interference, or it can change what is allowed to emerge from the unchanging constant interference. The quasi object only defines the group through movement, as soon as stasis is achieved the individual is created. It seems to be acting here as both the noise (of the collective) and then the filter (when it stands comes to rest).  Cybernetics, as defined by the founder Norbert Wiener, is the control and communication in the animal and the machine, and underlying this is the idea that all control/communication systems can be described and understood using the same language and concepts.  Perhaps the noise is the just the differing element between all systems, and the varying quasi object are the markers of different systems.

Public Movement explores the political and aesthetic possibilities residing in a group of people acting together. The movement operates in public spaces, studies and creates public choreographies, forms of social order, overt and covert rituals. Among Public Movement’s actions in the past and in the future: manifestations of presence, fictional acts of hatred, new folk dances, synchronized procedures of movement, spectacles, marches, inventing and reenacting moments in the life of individuals, communities, social institutions, peoples, states, and of humanity. It is a representative group, a selected team of artists, with the prospect of becoming a mass movement. Public Movement was founded in November 2006 by Dana Yahalomi and Omer Krieger.
