about the future ofhuman culture, but not Youngblood. He dcclares the death of history in the middle of a discus­sion of the merits of Stanley Kubrick's magnum opus, w01: A Space Ody,sey (1968), which Youngblood 2ccepts, if not without some hesitation , as articulating a mythology of hum•n progress that is propcr co chc cmcrging eN of information tcch nology or what the Americ•n cr itic prefers to call the Paleocybemetic age. One could say, thcreforc, that Yùungblood appoints Stanley Kubrick as the Richard Wagner of intermedia att, although E.,pa11dtd Ci11e111a makcs no actual reference to the German invcntor of chc total work of arc. Howcvcr, what this comparison might help to clarify at the outset of my argument is, first of ail, how cxpandcd cinema envisions an intcracdon bctwccn acsthetics and politics through rhc active rearrangemen t of the senses and , secondly, that the declaration of a rupture bctwccn pasc and present, which was so oftcn uscd to announce the birth of a ncw avanc-g~rde during the ~0 1

" century, did not prcempt the crcation of a ncw origin myth. In fact, it necessitated the invention of such a myth to "rehooc,n as it wcl'c, the connection bctwccn past and prcsent.

In the following, I shall address in parcicular this question of the political aesthetics of cxpandcd einema and I sha ll do so, largcly, in dialogue with Youngblood's text. However, it should be clear from the beginning that I do not take Youngblooù's hook as an authoritative account of a set of practiccs, which arc now assembled under the historical label of "expanded cinema," although Youngblood's tcxt is one of the carlicsc, and most informative to address the widc assortmem of multimedia screenings

and installations chat wem by the namc of cxpandcd cinema since the mid-196os. No doubt this phenomenon forms a historical construct which does not possess an intrinsic, formai logic, despitc the multifarious attcmpts, such as Younghlood's, to dc6nc such a comprehensive logic in retrospect. There should be no need to point ouc thac expande d cinema - as the vcry ccrm implies-does not co nsist of a homogcnous and unificd set of practices although, as I will indicate, recem scholarship has es tah­lished a few b2sic, if divergent dùpositifi of cxpandcd cinema (not ail of which arc rccognizcd by Youngblood in his book).

presence in the following, 1 do no t propose to undertakc what would be a rather superfluous gesturc; namely, to perfo rm a critical cleconstruction ofhis argument for its own sake. What I propose to undertake is of a more speeula­tive nature, which rcquires that wc productively work through the "ideological materials" that are contained within Youngblood' s text, instead ofsimply dismissing its mctaphor of "expanded consdousness" as a false resolution of underlying social conflicts. Such a mode of ideological c ritique would serve no rcal purpose in the presem.

What I find compelling ahout Younghlood's text is its anliCifJatory value, the manncr in which it indi.cates â proccss of mediatization that has worked its way through into our own p rcsem, although not in the m,mner that the author predic ted. This historical dcvclopmem I shall auempt to grasp through the ambivalent figure of the holographie image, which must be understood here in a more allegorical chan technical sen se. lt is a gcncalogy of the hologram, in other words, chat will conecrn me here, but not in the sense of writing the hist()ry of a specific tcehnological invention. What I wish to sketch , in a prcliminary manne ,·, is th e genealob'}' of what \\t may call a hologra1mna1b,atib11 of thç spacc of politics.•

Hencc I shaU focus on the one phantom that haunts Youngblood 's text throughout , if only putting in a full appcarance at th e very end of the book. Yet, cvcn there, it shows up in a elusive mann cr, more drcam than tangible reality, as a kind of holographie spirit that announccs to Youngblood a vision of an utopian future. 1 propose that wc consider this holographie figure in two, complementary ways: on the one hand , as represe ntin g a political allcgory of cxpanded cinema, and on the ochcr hand as drawing a socia l diagram, to borrow Gilles Deleuze's phrase, of the latc.r 1960s. The hologram is more than a tecbno logicol device in Youngb!(,ocl's book, it exemplifies a spccific apparatus of power. To understand what is at stakc here, we nccd to rccall Deleuzc's crucial addcndum to Michel Foucault's concept . of a disciplinary socicty, in the "Postscdpt on a Con trol Society."' Since the Second \Vorld War, Deleuze contend s, wc have alrcady bcen moving away from a disci · plinary regimc of power, which confined people within the institutional sic.es of work, cntertainment, and education.

New forces have con1e into play, he insisted, constructing :.m informational society of communication and control, which is pcrhaps more open in character, but not less suhjec t t0 administration. Conunlled socie ties are organi zed by mca ns of a new bio -po litical tech nology <if co ntinuous monitoring and informati on feedback loops .6 Cybemetic machines are the hallmark of th is new soc iety of control, yet as Deleuze points out, machines do not explain anything. Rather we must always "analyze the collective arrangement.<; of ·which the machines are just one component."'

One such collective arrangement of information tec hnology was fantasizcd durin g the 1960s under the name of the "Global Village," and Youngblood wished to gather the tribal audience around its electronic heanh. In his opinion the creative media of the future would be formed by video, tclcvision, and comput ers. A new form of "synaesthetic'' and "cybernetic,, cincma would soon render narl'ativc cinema obsolet c. And thus Youngblood came tO pon ray expan dcd cinema in 1970 as emb'1rking on an adventurous mjssion to djscovcr and harness the "un.iversals of communication," drawing a parallel to the "inte rstellar morality play" of Kubrick 's 2001 : A Space Odyssey, in which the in trepid crew of the spaecship Diswvery travels into outer space to investigate a mystcdous signal emanati.ng from the cdgc of the solar system. Two decad es later, howcver, thi s journey into cyberspacc would corne to be viewed in a qui te dilferent light. As De leuze remarke d in 1991, any quest to estab lish ~ system of universal communicotion "ought co make us shudder."R

"Throug h the Holograrn Window"

To imagine a worJd of universal communication is co imagine the wor ld as a closed circuit in which ail c(mti n­gency-as an "extcrnal" dis turbance of the homcostatic balance of the system-has been submitt ed ro àlgori thmic cont rol. ln short, ail "noise" will be banned from such a reaJm. In such a wor.ld, wc: might imagine that information as such, which Gregory Bateson once defined •s • diffcrcncc that makcs a ditfcrenc e, would be red uccd co a single "l ive" signal, empticd of s ignification , coursing thro ugh the pathways of th e system. At this poin t we would enter

Jc•n Baudrillard's domain ofhyperreàli ty, or a world of total simulation. lndeed Baudrilla rd maint:tins that it is the aecelerating degree of informat ion circuh1ting with in the media syStem that causes informa tion to divcst of its ability to "make a diflèrence": "the lcl!:iS of mcaning is directly linkcd to the dissolving, dissuasive ~ction of information, the med ia, and the mass media ."9 And we may imagine how Deleuze begins to shudde r 21 the thought of Daudrillard's future society of univctsal communication, a hologcnic world thac consists of the "materialized projection of ~JI available informa tion on the subjcct:' leaving nothing bchind to be desired. Even the hand that passes through such a "ma tcria lized trnnsparenc y" bccomes unrea l. Indeed, not on ly is the hyperr cal popula tcd by holograp hie bodies, it is nothing but a holographie projection.

Thcrc are then two fatal stratcgics, rwo tra.nsgressive acts th ,u must be avoiclcd, according to Baudr illard , in one's interaccion with the rcalm of media tcchnology. In the first place, one must ncvcr try to t raverse the tra nsparent plane of the image. One must never yield, that is, to the tem ptation to pass over to the si.de of the real. For this would cause the image m disappear, and with the vanishin1;: of the image we would Jose our sense of sdf- idc nt ity as weU. To save our­selves, Bauclrillard implies, the imaginary must be protected ot all costs. Should our fan tas y of "seci ng ourselves" in a mirror or photog raph someh .ow be brough t to an end, the world as a wholc would dissolve into a shapclcss fog. Yct, RaudriHard contends, the opposite tcmpration is equally dead ly: we must also not try to pass over to the sidc of our own double or holograph ie twin. 'fo exte rnalize, that is, our idcal ego as a hologram. It may be hard, he writ es, t0

s hake the fascination of "being able to circle a round oneself, finally and cspccially of traversi ng onesclf, of passing through one's own spect ral body-and any holographed object is initially the lum inous ectop lasm of your own b1>dy."'0 Yct, should a laser beam, as it wcrc, be capable of cxcising ~ secret double from om· unconscious, crcating an ideal prosthesis of oursclvc s, wc would not be ~cen bending over our own crcacions 1'1ike gods.,,'fhe.~e morc-than-perfect holographie others-exis ting " therc in space, eventually moving and ta1king,,- would render our own bodies immatcrial in turn.

In short, Baudrillard emp loys the metaphor of the hologram-he is not speaking of any act ually existing teehnology - t0 descri be a process of spec1roge11esis." In purSllit of the status of a god, the human subject attempts to give autonomous life to the abstractions ofh is own though t. A process that, of course, Karl Marx had already shown to lie at the bas is of cap italist Society in his discussion of the commodity fetish. Only now it is the mind itse lf, no, the body's physical labor that •ssumes a spectral shapc. I shall dcvclop th is notion of spectroge nesis, but Youngblood was clearly not worried about the dangers of "passiog to the sicle of the hologram" in 1970. Further · more, he welcomed the accelerated 6ow of information and its cffcct of creating an "implosion of meanjng." This destruction of the social imaginary was ernancipatory in his eyes as it released us from the hold of the past : "tech nologies such as televis ion displace the individual from participant to observer of the human pageant, and thus we live cttèctivcly 'outside' of time; we external ize and objec tify what previously was subjectively intcgral to our own sclf­in,agc."u ln othcr words, the mass media produce as tate of rodical alienation in the speccato r, bue at the same stroke he is liber-ued from the specious images chat cns laved former gcneratîons: "As we unlearn our past, we unle-arn our selves."'3

By means of our mediatized detachment from history, wc arc aU bdng prcpared, like astronauts, to step into the beyond and to becomc a "child of the new age, a man of cosmic consciousness.,, In order to illustrate chis idea, Youngblood rcfers w a scenc in 2<>01: A Space Odysrey in which a crew member rece ivcs a birthday message frnm his Earthbound parents. The moment is infüsed with sadne ss, Youngblood observes, but not bccause he longs for a pas t. The astronaut is both physically .md mcnull y rcmoved from the social insti tution of the family. What significauce cou ld a birthday have to somconc who no longer shares his parent's comprehension of the difference between lifc and death? Are not his compan ions aboa,·d the Discovcry prescrvcd in a statc:. of cryogenic suspension? To this "child of the new age" who lives in a cybcmct ic symbiosis with the mach ine, the re exis,s only a continuous grodation betwcen the animatc and the inanimate.

lt is our current plight , therefore, to be filled with "<1n inevirnble sense of melancholy and noStalgia, no, for rhc past, but for our inability ro bccomc intcgra l with the present.m-1 Furdlermot'e, he continues, this is also not a nostalgia for the future, as "there arc no pammcccrs by which co know ic."1

} Youngblood pcrccivcd his own gcnern­tion, therefore, as living in the antechambers of time waiting ,o be reborn, literally, in t he art ificial light ofc hc clcetronic media, similar to chc face of the astronaut in 2001: A Space Odyss,:y, who "fonds himself in auscere .Regency chambers with an aqueuus vicfoo-like acmosphcrc, constructcd by whispcring on111iscient aliens." In dûs simulated environment or video-incubator. the ascronaut undergocs a ''se ries of sclf-confrontations,U continuously proccssing b.imself~s if hc has become trapped in an endless feedback loop.'6

Until, that is, the astronaut is reincarnatcd a$ the Star Child, "transecndi ng logic far bcyond human imelligence.'" 7 It is cle::1t wh~t Kubtick's movie, this "interst.ellar morality play,n has co oller Youngblood: he comprehends it as an allegory of human redemp tion by mea ns of tcehno logical dcvclop­rncnt. 18 Human consciousness is to ascend "beyond infinityl'I through t he admin istrations of an alien intelligence. Yet it is easy to grasp chat this "alicn" mind is ooching cJsc than an objcctification ofhuman thought . In tllis cominuous hypostasis of mental images into somc form of i.1alicn incclligcncc," Youngblood is, as it were, laying a holographie trap fo1· lùmse lf.

We might sense his holograph ie double alrcady smnding in the wings, waiting to step out onto the cenrntl stage. Dut there is a hitch. As Youngblood complains , Space Otlyss~r suffers from an ••unfortunatc syndrome,.; n,1m.c]y1

a discurbing lear of the dehumanizing efiects of compu ter tcchno logy. Once ar,,ain, a shudder is fclt. This time ic is causcd by HAL, the panoptic co111pme1· ofDiscO'IJery, who monitors every thought and action of the scarship crew. '[ù Younghlou<li HAL reprc:sents the "highcsc achicvcmcnt'' of arcificial inte lligence-a machine that not only thinks , but can sensc cmotion-yet it goes berserk and murders ail but one astronaut. Nevt:rthèles.s, Youngblood is willing ·co ovcrlook the "eonfusecl" thought ofc hc dirccr.or, preferrin g to see HAL not as an evil machin e, but as a metaphor of the "end oflogic" that relcascs the «cosmic mind" from ics

earthly bounds. Altcrnotivc ly, HAL might represent the necessary vicrim that necds to be s:1cril\ced ifYoungblood's myth of redcmpti cm is to be brought toits lînal concl usioo. T he ghostly HAL fonctio ns as the uncanny incarna tion of absrrac r, algorirhmic rhought, a product of the human brain, which curns against îts own creato r. And jus t as te levis ion exorcises the ghosts of e-hc past, humanity must now exorcise the ghos t of the furnre as well. But in this case, cxorc ism meons a flight forward or what Baudrillard described as a passage to the side of the hologram . This trajcc tory of sublimaricm runs from human imelligence to artificial imelligcncc to alicn inte lligence ro wsm ic intelligence .

Indeed we must "pass through " our holographie doub le, Youngblood implics. We must become more gbost ­like, not Jess, in ordcr to rcali,;c our full potcnti al as god-like <.:reacures. To quote :.csaint .M.ax," on1y "as .1 spcctcr has [the human subject] bcen rcgarded as sanctified!"9Which b.rings me to my next poin t: po litic-al theo logy masq ucrades as med ia thcory in fapa 11ded Ci11ema. As the author explains: «expan<led cinema does not mean computer films, vidco phosphor s, arom ic light , or sphc.r ical projec tion ." Ir is nota marrer of rechnology as such; rarhcr "likc Jifc it is a proces s ofbccom ing, man's ongoing dri\'e to man.üèst his conscious­ness oursidc ofh is mind, in front ofhi s eyes."' 0 Expanded Cinema pursues not so much ,1n expansion as an cxtcrnaliza­tion of consciousness. And onc.:e consciousness has assumed dûs autonomous, cxtcdor status, it be.cornes not simply alien, but angelic: a "star child .''

In const ruet ing this myth , howe\'er, Youngblood is acrually following the script of cybcrneti c thco ry. l'or the ((star chilù" is what Gregory Bateson, for insrnncc, would cati the "larger Mind," whieh as the latter ecmcedes might be caUed God by some people, but refcrs to the fact rhat the men ml world is not limited by th e envelop of our bodies. As a true cybcrnet.ician, Raccscm equates c..:onsciousness with the prot.essing of information and circuits of information rhat cxtcnd bcyoncl the sk in. The mind is not only immanent to the "wholc communicat ion syste m wirhîn th e body-t he autonomie, the habituai, ~,nd the vase range of unconscious· proccss." Suc.h a corporeal immanence of the mi nd, as Bateson nor.cs, was alrcady csrahlished by Freudian psychol­ogy. What is ttul y radical about t he notion ofr he "largc r

Mind" is that it no longer considcrs human consciousncss as a mere epiphcn omcnon ofa bodily substratc, but os scamlcss.ly integ roted with in th e "rota i înrcrconn ected social sys tem and planerary ceology." This posthuman view of a non-anc.hropomorphic universe in which autonomous subjccts can no longer daim tu occupy ccmcr stage should teach us a certain humilie.y, Bateson üdvises. \'(te arc:: but cemporary pactcrns of data coalescing in a condnuous flow ofinfonnatio n.

Let us explore this strnngely cwistcd, topologieal rcalm a bit further .

"'A Matcrialist Below and an Jdealist Abo\le"

Let me now rcturn to the que.scion of political theology os it is raised in Exp,mded Cinema. According to Youngblood, wc arc no longer able to idcntify ourselves in the images of the past that are ,ransmittcd into the prcsent. And this radical uprooting of the comemporary subject, the author gocs on to argue, may sccm craumatici but it is, nevertheless, a blessing in disguise. Dut to what calamicy do wc owc this dcoch of hiswry? How did the calendar becom e rcsct to ycar zero ? Time w:lS ccrt:1inly not smpped by any human act of insurreetion, unlike those 191h-century rcvolutionarics chat ollcgcdly fircd on the dock t0wers of Paris du ring the first day of fighting." Our dctachmcnt from the past , Youngblood maintain s, is the inevitable result of our cxposurc to the "implosion of information" in the mass media. Television, as no ted above, is blamed for displacing the individual tO the sidelines of time. But what could this mean: to l.ivc "outsidc" of time ? Is Youngblood t<> hc considered guilty of an old perversion of the avam•garde project; namcly, to glorify in th e self-olienocion of the human subjcct? ls Youngblood a fucurist-in-disguisc who is enthralled by the spectacle of technological domination? Hos he not suceumbed to that old ruse ofhis tory: to confuse a polit.ical acst hctic of cmancipation with the politicizacion of aesthe tics?

AJlow me to suggest a more fnlitful mode of analysis. Perhaps it is more apposite to de fine Youngblood as "o materialist hdow ,md an idcalist abovct to borrow Friedrich Engels' fomous charactcriz:1tion of Ludwig Feuerbach.-" At this point , we may recall how the latter underwok a critiq ue of religion by accusing Chr istians of hyposta siz ing "cheir mcncol States into beings and qualities of th ù1gs, their domina.nt emotions into powers <lominating the world."" Rcligious tl,ought, in othct words, gave birth to a confosion between what is internai and what is externat to consc.iousness. :Mental abstractions wcre givcn a body as "sdf-subsi sti.ng bcings," and unlike the sensuous object that exists apart from man, 0 the religious object exists within him-l t is Îtsdf an inncr, inti mate objccr, indccd, the closcsc objcct, and hencc an object wltich forsakes hùn as little as his self-consciousness or consc ience." Like ghos ts, rhesc "sdf-subsisdng bcings" chat are cxposcd on the outsidc of chc subjcct consist of~ .senJuous nonJensuout nature: chcy are both spirit and bod)', living and nonliving enti ties. Feuerbach took it upon him to expel from human sociccy chcsc dcmons, which had sprung from the human mind, achieving an autonomous presence only ro enslave humanity in turn. The comp laint of Engels - as wcll as Karl Morx­was that Fcuerbach's exorcism had not been radical enough; he had left the idea of divinity intact hy reinscrihing it within the human "'essence." Man, in Fcucrbach's csc.im~­tion, was the equal of God.

Yet, the prob lem for Morx and Engels was not only chat Feuerbach injcctcd consciousncss with a spectrnl notion of divinit)' , As the rndical anarchist, llolax Stirn er, had already enjoined, Feuer bach's divine subjcct is derealizcd by his own ghosts: "the man identified bere with the unique, having first given thoughts corporeali ty, i.e., having trans­formed thcm into spcctcrs now dcstroys this corporcality og:1in, by ta king thcm back into his own body, which he thus makes into a body of specters."16 Like Baudrillard's holo­gram, which makes the hand chat passes through it unreal, f'cucrbaeh's living body bccomc s spectra l by absorbing its own phamomatic projections within itself. And thus the human subject becomes the ahsolutc ghost: "simuJacrum of s imulacra withouc end," as Derrida puts it."Yer even Stirner , in rejecting Feuerbach's anthropological critique of

The side ofYoungb]ood that is a "materfa list below"' wishes to expc:l the ghosts of the past by mans of mc:dia tee llology. Yc·t hc transforms ·nto he '"idealist above'' once he spec traUzes the world il'l th e name of sdence or, more specjficall}\ cybemeric theory. Scic:ncc: has rc:ached such a high dcgree of abstraction, . Youngblood maintains, that it has left the rea lm of visible, tangible reality behind. As a rcsult , thcn; is no finitc pc,spcctivc, no "prccisc focus ing" possible within the worldvi ,ew of modern science, Instead, the human subject has become an immanc:nt pan of a hrgc:r, cnvironrncntal system of information proccssing or, in Youngblood's terms, "we are confronted ith dyna.mk interaction bctween se eral unsfinite sp:tce systems." What scien .ce am] technology creatc:, in other words, is not so mucha transccndcntal "Subjcc , but an omnipresent one. Youngblood " ould agree, for instance , w.ith Marshall McLuhan's cybcrnc:tic vision of a man-machine symhios is accordi ng to wh:id our nervous system has b c-0me e tended imo a global closed circufr of communica tion . And he would hc: cqually draw:a to flatc:son' statcmc:nc that the ind ividual mi dis bu a ,csubsystem" of a farger Mind, which is itself comparable to God. Thus, Youngb lood proposes that whi'lc the: Palcocybc:rnetic Age wimcsscs the sccuJariza­tjon ofrdigjon tJ1rough electronics, it has also "corne doser to wha.te\·er God may be than has the church in all it~ tormcntc-0 history ." What modem scjcncc has discovcrcd, Youngblood concludes ., is th e exist ence of .. an a priori metaphyskal intdligencc: nm ni-o pc:rati vc: in the: univcrs,c:_''3?

Wc have now corne to d1e point that it is possible to comprehend dus cybernetic god or "large :r Mind" üs nothing othc:r than the "hologr,aphi .c projec tion " of thosc actual omni -opern .tivc minds, wh.ich Karl Marx denned as the ge 1ernl im eUect in the Grundrisse. 4" In this text, wh ich is a mainsta. of (post -)opemist theo ry.

The viewer \\•as not to be instructcd in the manner of Tbink, so much is c;,(ear, but \•vhat w~s so ncw ahout this openw ended situatio n chat Klüver announces? Wha, is the nonfinite charncter of the Pcpsi Pavilion? Klüver explains his intentions by making a striking observation that distin · guishes the Pcpsi Pavilion from its 191

h. ccntury precursors. \Vhcreas previous univcrs{II exhibitions functioned ~s :.1

showcasc for the in<lustrialization of soe icty, the f>epsi Pavillon consolida tes '"a change away from conccrn for the objcct- its engineering, opcnuion, and fonction~ and toward acsthcrics- human motivation, and involvement) plcas:ure) interest, excitcment."84 ln other words) Klüvcr­rhc-c nginccr appears to be bidding farewdl co the industrial fairgrounds of the past, ushering in {"I ncw cra in which a postindustrial economy is no longer dominat ed by the manufacture of durable goods, but is dirccccd at th e valori­zation ~nd governance of the inter•subjectivc facultics of''invoh'ement" -and "intcrcst" an<l the presubjcctivc sensations of ''pleasurc" and uexcitement."S>

Entrus ting these th oughts to papcr in August 1970, Klüver could not be aware of their full bearing on the future . Howcvcr, it is not difficult to comprc hcn<l from our prescnt viewpoint how Klüver's statement alrc:idy points to the emergence of a ncw stage of capitalist production; that is, to a biopolitical regime of immatcrial labor that succeeds, if not complcte ly supplants, a disciplmary rcgimc of indus ­trial production. At this point, life itself enters into the cap italist cycles of reproduction and it bccom es all the more rermrkablc that Klüver cven noted with satisfaction that social sciemists had exprcsscd an imerest in studying the reactions of the visitors to this constantly changing environ­ment, and he marvclcd at how "the Pavilion bccame theater conceive<l of as a tom) instrument, using every availablc technology in which the accumulated cxpcrie nce of all the progranuners cxpandcd and enriched the possibilit ies of the space!' 86 But before wc collapse the complex mome nt of 1970 aU too quickly within a li.near narrative of th e transition from • Fordist "' a post -Fordist society, it is csscntial to return to my previous comment about the cwo diffcrent modes of immaterial labor: a cognitive or informatized aspect versus a corporeal or allective aspect.'' With regard to

the latter •spect, the historical rise of an informa tion socic ty

The Pavilion kept its underlying contradictions in suspension. \Vithin its seemingly infinite interior, aU spatiocemporal coordinotcs ofhabituol bchavior wcre mcant to fall away.
