Description
Some Sums It is no accident that this essay takes as its point of departure a mosaic comprised of Fredric Jameson lost in the hyperspace of Los Angeles' Westin Bonaventure Hotel in his seminal glance at the cultures of late capitalism, Postmodernism, and Andy Warhol wedded to a piece of equipment for capturing, storing and replaying the voices of others in his THE Philosophy of Andy Warhol. Nor is it an accident that Jameson, the unacclimated, unfortunate Modern waiting for his body to sprout a new perceptual apparatus which will allow him to process the newly mutated spatialities surrounding and subsuming his subjectivity, and Warhol, the closest thing to a cyborg the artworld has ever produced, will be dumped in turn. (1) Swerving from Jameson and Warhol, I offer a second mosaic, this one comprised of the now Retro Madonna of "Ray of Light" and two newcomers, cyborgs themselves, women tuned in, turned on and short-circuited by technodesire: the anonymous "dumped dummy," as Jean-Francois Lyotard in Les Transformateurs Duchamp refers to her, of Duchamp's posthumous assemblage Etant donnees: 1 la chute d'eau, 2 le gaz d'eclairage (1966), and the campy space kitten Barbarella from Roger Vadim's film Barbarella, Queen of the Galaxy (1968).
