I stumble across Artaud in Deleuze & Guattari's Anti-Oedipus ...

... I am writing about a segment of Charles Chaplin's 1936 film Modern Times ...


... I update my Facebook status with a quote from Anti-Oedipus and I mis-spell the first 'est' as 'et' ('is' as 'and'), though they are the same phonetically: "Le corps et le corps/il est seul/et n'a pas besoin d'organe/le corps n'est jamais un organisme/les organismes sont les ennemis du corps." - A. Artaud ...


... I receive an email from Anna Schwartz Gallery to inform me that Edward Scheer has written a book called The Infinity Machine: Mike Parr's Performance Art, 1971-2005 ...


... I am indifferent and delete the email ...

... I discover, via Google Books, Susan Sontag has written a beautiful essay on Artaud in Antonin Artaud: A Critical Reader, edited by Edward Scheer ...



... Roi sends me the video below via Facebook, he says, "artaud, l'acteur (carl dreyer's 'la passion de jeanne d'arc,' in godard's 'vivre sa vie')" ...



... Vivre Sa Vie is one of my favourite Godard films.
