Abstract

The ultimate phantasm of subject is the technology. Today it acts as an art of virtual world production. Technology is some sort of self-righteous art without need for any aesthetical theory. Production of object occurs outside the aesthetics, in the void space of efficiency. Autonomous art is a virtual knack, technology of production of the world as an autonomous art, without ANY real touch with reality. While Derrida turns his back to the object and considers theory as mere manipulation with language, Neo-Platonic art, which preserves transit to the wholeness, though over mimesis, become technology through Cartesian camera obscura. Autonomous art, self-sufficient technology does not need soft Derrida, because it does not ask for any permission for its productive game. Everything possible is allowed. And this is some sort of Arcadia where world’s forms are slackened under the power of technological pressure and where shepherds instead of sticks carry sharpened tridents in order to sting and injure reality watching the blood for dead corpus.
