All together now…
[Refrain One]
In between spontaneity and dictatorship
In between biology and culture
In between conscious and nonconscious
In between the refrain and the line of flight
In between attention and inattention
In between attraction and distraction
In between excitation and inhibition
In between glutamate and GABA
In between the real and the imagined
In between the virtual and the actual
In between presynapse and postsynapse
In between repetition and difference
In between work and play
In between the smooth and the striated
In between inter(neurons) and projection neurons
In between rhizomes and tree trunks
In between volition and mechanical habit
In between (and beyond) good and evil
In between utopia and dystopia
In between cognition and noncognition
In between thinking and feeling
In between stability and instability
In between the Self and the Other
In between Self and Nonself
In between desire and belief
In between the inside and the outside
In between good media studies and evil media studies
In between walking and falling over
In between filtering and amplifying
In between the heuristic and the recursive
In between subject and object
In between ritornellos and improvisation
In between imitation and nonimitation
In between the crowd and the dividual
In between the viral and the utopian
In between the in-between, in between the in-between, in between the in-between, in between the in-between, in between the in-between…
You can now see a video of the live performance (filmed on an i-phone, so quality is not that good) on the excellent Rhizomatika blog…
