Inter Faces: Remapping Sights of Knowledge

Résumé

Interacting with McKenzie’s text, this article emphasizes the speculation at the conjunction of economic patterns and knowledge practices. Indeed, by sharing the common principle of unfettered circulation, the free exchange of currencies and ideas has always been instrumental in opening new sites/sights of knowledge. Moreover, current speculative practices are particularly well-symbolized by the transparency of interactive screens which have now become the interfaces of knowledge production and circulation. With the rise of the World Wide Web and smart media, our theaters of learning have become places of seeing, where virtually anyone can instantly find themselves face to face with previously invisible subjects of knowledge. As an alternative to mapping the world by way of opaque boundaries, Street evokes the work of French artist JR and his creative exposition of individual faces in promoting a cartography that transgresses attempts to build barriers. Challenging the demarcations between the seen and the unseen, Performance Philosophy may serve as an interface for the inviable and the invisible in these speculative times, working to turn spectacle and surveillance inside out.
