This lecture explores how the visceral bocality of speech and its meaning building sensibility create a movement between form and formlessness, fluidity and sedimentation, that can cause particles to reorientate and reorganize. It works through the politics of intimacy and alienation and their entanglement. It follows and ethics of enduring intimacy with the alien and acknowledging the alienating forces of intimacy. For Mirror becomes a razor when it's broken Siegmar will spin threads of saliva on/around/through virtual and non-virtual intimacies towards re- reorganizations of non-normative bodies of knowledge and flesh.

In collaboration with Ameen Mettawa.
