"This returns us to the Deleuzian distinction between the hylomorphic and the morphogenetic—between form imposed from above and form emerging from below—and to a recognition of the important role matter plays in its own self-organization. Matter, in other words, is not inert but active: “We may now be in a position to think about the origin of form and structure, not as something imposed from the outside on an inert matter, not as a hierarchical command from above as in an assembly line, but as something that may come from within the materials, a form that we tease out of those materials as we allow them to have their say in the structures we create." ------- Active Matter, ed. by Skylar Tibbits (MIT Press, 2017), 22

"Since a Whiteread cast represents an object through the space it leaves behind, and since the original object is often destroyed to create its image, Whiteread's works are often described in terms of loss. Commentators point out that the viewer has to engage in a process of imaginary recreation, an undertaking which makes us reconsider the original object. It is also argued that the relation of the chosen object to the human body encourages us to apply this pattern of loss and reconsideration to ourselves." ----- https://www.frieze.com/article/rachel-whiteread

Massumi's approach to perception and the philosophy of experience is closely tied to his political philosophy through the theory of affect. Massumi famously distinguishes emotion from affect. Following Spinoza, he defines affect as "the capacity to affect and be affected." This locates affect in encounters in the world, rather than the interiority of a psychological subject. Emotion, he argues, is the interiorization of affect toward psychological expression. He locates affect as such in a nonconscious "zone of indistinction" or "zone of indeterminacy" between thought and action. This zone of indeterminacy is the "field of emergence" of determinate experience, but itself resists capture in functional systems or structures of meaning. ------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Massumi
