An infinite series of bifurcations - this is how we can tell the story of our life, of our loves, but also the history of revolts, defeats and restorations of order. At any given moment, different paths open up in front of us, and we are continually presented with the alternative of going here or going there.

The fundamental one is always between machines for liberating desire and methods of control over the imaginary. In our time of digital mutation, technical automatisms are taking control of the social psyche.
