In their project "Radical Empiricism", Brian Massumi and Erin Manning challenge the dichotomy between creation and thought/research by establishing a working environment in which the emphasis is placed on the ways in which research/creation reinvents collaboration and on the new modes of thought and action this makes possible. They suggest that thought is a function of the body, and research/creation is about the movement of thought. To create movements of thought is to actualize thought as a technique. What Massumi and Manning propose is to ask how movements of thought can engender creative tools that further the production of culture. |
