Warren Neidich. Lost between the Extensivity / Intensivity Exchan

To visualize a brainstorm through diagrams is a proven strategy to generate innovative thinking. It is able to catalyze the production of new knowledge systems, previously unavailable to thought. Like the well-known French philosopher Gilles Deleuze states in his book, Francis Bacon, the logic of Sensation, "The diagram is indeed a chaos, a catastrophe but it is also a germ of order or rhythm. It is a violent chaos in relation to the figurative givens, but it is a germ of rhythm in relation to the new order of the painting. As Bacon says, it “unlocks areas of sensation.” Then what of the Mindmap. Does it unlock new forms and conditions for thought and the imagination? Is the mind map a kind of auto representation of the thought itself an instantiation of thoughts made into "thingness"? Thoughts interfacing with each other along distributed epistemic networks are for Neidich poetic couplings between brain, mind, and world.
