Practice Research Developments and Considerations
|
Brian Massumi argues that when one is ‘selectively’ (2002, p.91) plugged-in to the perception of a sensory experience, latent potentiality can be projected down the continuum and the thing that is the focus of it becomes more useful, more extended, more thought-out for actualisation. Thinking actualises the potential, and simultaneously limits it as it is actualised. For Massumi, this is how the forces of latent potentiality, of immanence, become manifest. We plug-into experiences via the sensory and we intuitively select something from the vast potentiality that things hold. Our basis for selection of one sense over another is derived from what we subjectively need for the experience of a specific instance.
