What if we just abandoned this compulsion toward complexity and, instead, revisited this effort to live simply within systems we understand? In a great new reader by SALT (SALTonline.org) of Istanbul, entitled, “One day, everything will be free“, Joseph Redwood-Martinez replies to artist-intellectual ‘Federica’, who initially called for a complexification of thought to accompany the complexification of our reality: What compels you to further complicate a situate that is fragmented and complex? In what ways do you feel this approach will allow you to make a meaningful contribution to this field? Where are you receiving this idea that there is a need for actors to not provide clarity but to produce further complexities and complications? Would it be possible, instead, to not just describe, but to perform a discursive shift wherein that which is produced is no longer capable of being perpetually reinscribed into and sustained by the very conditions which it presumes to critique?
