The Dream Machine, Useless Beauty and Fuzzy Logic: correlations of violence

We invite contributions of visual, aural and written material in open responses: on the abandonment of correlation as a necessity of art’s contingency. Thought and action are together ‘useless’ if incapable of escaping the invisible and severe circle of ‘correlationism’ in which they inevitably conform to another use. Terms ‘use’ and ‘useless’ are in a relational pact. Paired in contradiction, not opposed in meaning, from want of a practical consistency to and from authenticity, something like the ‘for-me’ and the ‘in-itself’ appears ‘cold’, fatal. The co-relation applies itself like glue to a paradox of inauthenticity. The beauty of the unthinkable is violent revolution, but revolution is itself unthinkable. Both statements are helpless, contingent of fuzzy logic and the inverse necessity of beauty.
