Demetris Shammas:  PartheNone or: How to leave your myth in Greece 
The quest for prespecific knowledge shifts from the attempt to invert Alice in Wonderland to a tale of ruins; ruins of the most beautiful monument of Greece or a monument of the most beautiful ruins of Greece. Reassembling ‘history’ as a dual schema of republic and aristocracy succeeding one another, we follow a building’s path from a vibrant yet unrepresentable birth to a romantic crucifixion, watching as the oikos of Virgin Athena advances towards an image.

Nicolás Miranda – Garden/Nature:

Jessica In : Face Off (a peek under the masks and faces of portraiture through the lens of Vilem Flusser)
Flusser’s understanding of history as breaks from linear writing to and from images is reinterpreted as switching between different views of one’s orientation to the world. Prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet – what can the history of portraiture reveal about the values and desires of its subjects, and how they orient themselves in and to the world? Contains audio and video samples by Quayola, speech samples from Flusser’s lecture “We Shall Survive in the Memory of Others”, speech samples from Art Through Time: A Global View, Portraits.

The conclusion of the first theory module saw each participant produce highly individual responses to Deleuze + Guattari’s The Geology of Morals.  See below for final video presentations.

 
Achilleas Xydis: Abstract Machine
Music samples taken from Abbie Gale’s song “Say”.

 
Nicolas Miranda: Interaction By Actions  
This analysis is based on the relationships between the different concepts used by Deleuze and Guattari.  The created network exposes the hierarchies, bidirectional relations and interactions of these protagonists. Music: “Burning Buildings” – High Skies

 
Joel Letkemann: We
This presentation describes the way in which the concept of the first person singular pronoun ‘we’ is used in Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus.  Music: ‘Snookered’ performed by Dan Deacon, on ‘Bromst,’ 2009.

 
Yuko Ishizu: Creation Through Abstraction (Kanji’s World)

 
Jessica In: The Challenger Actualization
Follow Mister Edward Malone and his faithful sidekick Mister Peerless ‘PJ’ Jones as they take a witches ride adventure into the Body Without Organs in search of the missing Professor Challenger.  By utilising the concepts of Deleuze and Guattari, will our heroes overcome meaningless disintegration?  Will they succeed in actualising the Professor?

 
David Schildberger: Line of Flight ……3 minutes on the line of flight……start somewhere in between……take up speed and click here……3 Remixes of 19+1+n videos of former MAS students, Gilles Deleuze and found video footage playing with topics like communication, representation, acceleration, synchronisation and architecture. The videos are accompanied by a series of footnotes which try to link the topics to other thoughts and identities.
