The Cavern of Antimatter:Giuseppe 'Pinot' Gallizio and the Technological Imaginary of the Early Situationist International

摘要

Perhaps the machine is the only instrument qualified to create that is inflationary and industrial and therefore based on the anti-patent; the new industrial culture will only be "Made by the People," or it will not be. -Giuseppe "Pinot" Gallizio, 1959 During its formative years (1957-1960), the Situationist International (SI) charted a paradoxical relationship between an enthusiasm for a technological future and a surrealist longing for the premodern. In the first installments of the fnternationale situationniste, alongside articles by Asger Jorn, Giuseppe "Pinot" Gallizio, and others are several unsigned articles, most of which were written by the editor, Guy-Ernest Debord, advocating the "destruction of the subject" and the use of contemporary machines to systematize and consciously organize "what the Surrealists had still experienced as random, as the marvelous."
