Robert Garnett, "The 4th-Dimensional Politics of Rhythm," Marres/Centrum voor Contemporaine Cultuur Maastricht, 2013. With reference to Franco Berardi Bifo, "Emancipation of the Sign: Poetry and Finance During the Twentieth Century," e-flux journal 39 (November 2012). See →. Garnett argues for "some rather preposterous claims for the politicality of the pre-posterous: the politics of rhythm exists in its capacity to produce heterogeneous blocs of temporality, rhythmic group subjectivities and becomings-otherwise, reelsewheres, in out of the here and now. Rhythm is the collective investment in the production of desire-production. This is what art or music does politically that politics cannot."
