All of the Quassary possess the feature that I find in the structure of the network: they are apparently outside being, invoking the presence of something that is not there, they are symptoms of (a certain) being: the presence of the alien, the disturbing, the not-being. The network as a rhizome reveals (what seems to be) chaos. The incidental nature of these relations and points of contact is not without its architecture: on the contrary – it is a building which conquers paradoxes, abolishes oppositions. The network is something delicate and strong. Its matter is “woven” out of thin, almost immaterial, almost two-dimensional elements. It continues to be a building nevertheless, with properties assigned to it: susceptible to transformation, but due to its numerous points of contact and varied nature of its construction, extraordinarily lasting. The network is not only the material elements, but also the gaps and spaces between the points of contact, they are the visual and conceptual reverse of the threads it constitutes. The network is at the same time a model for thoughts, actions, relations, and a relation itself, something concrete. It is immateriality woven out of materiality and the other way around. The network is pure concrete and pure abstraction at once. One might say it is a blueprint and the realization of this blueprint at the same time. It is a constant tension between the virtual and the chaotic. Chaos is not merely evaluated negatively as disorder, but is the condition and the possibility of genesis, the condition for organization to appear. The network is a constantly processual, durative present. It is an excess, a shadow, a phantom, a gap between what appears and the record of what appears. From this perspective – the perspective of the body as a seismograph – and organon, a tool – some sort of truth emerges about what is the most bodily and concrete. This something is not evaluated within the binary opposition of health and illness, it is rather a completely impassive, distanced cartography: a record, growing in successive layers like tissue, like a carcerating excess or a forming embryo.
