“When you start thinking you can create something out of nothing, it’s very difficult to resist.” Singapore’s Prime Minister, commenting upon the subprime crisis, could have been thinking of Buci-Glucksmann’s reading in Baroque aesthetics “a mimetic of nothingness,” building a “clutter” of forms around substantial “vacancy.” This bears the mark of the insane or of the artist, pacing up and down the lines of circulating signs disburdened of the tyranny of things and paradigms. Like the madman in the Baroque age, capitalism in JR, doesn’t know difference and disregards limits, through flows of information turning illusion into presence, which is the perspective of speculation and the principle of the Baroque. And that of literature against “literture.”
