Interrompere naturale vs. Culturale significa non segnare chi viene prima e chi dopo è chi imita cosa. Non esiste una gerarchia piuttosto c'è #intrazione tra fattori eterogenei e complessi: #biofisico organizzazione corpi multicellulari e dei loro simbionti; #bioculturale organizzazione tecno-scientifica, culturalmente situata del corpo umano; #biodigitale manipolazione informatica del corpo umano e delle sue relazioni #lucianaparisi #abstractsex

#lucianaparisi ci invita a pensare un'organizzazione #isomorfica in cui la divisione tra livelli micro e macro diviene irrilevante se osservata da un punto immanente in cui il sesso batterico, la clonazione biodigitale, sesso nucleic o e riproduzione sociale insistono sullo stesso punto di convergenza (compostiera)

#abstractsex extends the #feminist politics of desire by mapping the transversal mixing of information between bodies of all sorts (bacteria, vegetables, animals, humans and technical machines). Abstract sex proposes to tap into the kinetic ethology of tiny sexes that lay out a micropolitics of symbiotic relations between different levels of mutation of matter and desire. #lucianaparisi

a #machine is above all defined by a mixture of biological, technical, social, economic and desiring elements that #compose and #decompose a body at certain speeds and according to given gradients. #lucianaparisi #abstractsex

abstract (mutating) matter is #machinic as it entails the heterogeneous composition or merging of different bodies of production. #lucianaparisi #abstractsex

Drawing on an alternative conception of nature, #abstractsex embraces the Spinozist hypothesis about the indeterminate power (or abstract potential) of a body suggesting that ‘we do not yet know what a body can do’. This hypothesis challenges the analogy between biological forms and functions (the pre-established biological possibilities of a body) pointing to the capacities of variation of a body in relation to the continual mutations of nature. #lucianaparisi

These possibilities are defined by the analogy between biological forms (species, sex, skin colour and size) and functions (sexual reproduction, organic development and organic death) that shape our understanding of nature and matter through principles of identity (fixity and stability). This analogy creates a direct resemblance between body and mind, sex and gender, skin and race where biological destiny determines the hierarchical organization of social categories. #lucianaparisi
