Machinic Desire
Main Article Content
Abstract
Written in 1993, two years before Nick Land and Sadie Plant formally established the CCRU, Machinic Desire anticipates key themes of the collective as well as its distinctive theoretical-experimental style. Influential for authors such as Mark Fisher, the text exemplifies the CCRU’s cybercultural and technological engagement. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari – particularly the “Anti-Oedipus” – Land highlights desire as a machinic flow and Capital as a deterritorializing force.
