This book is a work about art, cinema, and philosophy, in participation withthe realm of the social. It is about a type of art that is cinematic and alsoabout a cinema that is philosophical, as in being a ground for thought. Itattempts to theorize and figure out a space of social and cultural resistancein terms of cinema and video art. It is a project that aims to create a spaceof dynamic tension, to articulate modes of the libidinal economy in termsof resistance and towards an attempted political and esthetic sovereignty.It is also an attempt to create an ontological basis for artistic intervention, using theoretical constructs based on Lyotard, Deleuze, and Whitehead, in a dynamic relationship with select works of Yoko Ono, Vito Acconci, and Chris Marker.
