---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Krystian Woznicki via Commoning <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 4:48 PM Subject: [commoning] Politics of Movement > book out now To: [email protected] Hi, the BG has just published a book as a one of the results from last year's annual project TACIT FUTURES. It is called "After the Planes" ( http://diamondpaper.de/title_25 ) – a title borrowed from Don DeLillo’s 9/11 novel "Falling Man". It is an English language book and features texts by Brian Massumi and Krystian Woznicki, as well as a foreword by the social thinker and activist Max Haiven. Moreover, it contains 100 photographs on the complex issue of movement control. As the forces that set the world in motion seem to operate invisibly, this book asks seminal questions: How do automated forms of power condition the movements of humans, data, goods, money? How do movement-based counter powers emerge? Here some selected quotes from the book: "This is a book that, like an x-ray, makes visible today’s hidden infrastructure of movement. The images and the writing presented here have been calibrated to capture, to freeze in the frame, the light emitted by power in motion that usually exists outside the spectrum of our perception." Max Haiven "The human has always been on the move throughout its history. Or is it more accurate to say that a movement of relational transformation has moved through the human?" Brian Massumi "Seeing with the omnipresent eyes of the observation society also enables seeing through the eyes of another subject. Here, in these openings, is where one's movements become political." Krystian Woznicki If you want to buy the book, which costs 20 Euro, you can send us an email (info(at)berlinergazette.de), you can also get it online at the Diamondpaper online store ( http://diamondpaper.de/store ) or, if you are in Berlin, visit some of the great book shops in town, such as pro qm, b-books, Walter Koenig, St. Georges or Motto Books and buy it there. For now, please save the date: June 30, 2017. On that Friday evening "After the Planes" we will launch the book at the Berlin book store pro qm ( http://pro-qm.de) , together with Brian Massumi and Max Haiven.
