3) Last story: There is a Shrimp that Eats Sand.
I’ll explain. I’m almost done, I swear.
Lacan’s Seminar X was called Anxiety. For Lacan we have to go to
the edge of this anxiety, rather than stay trapped in its narrow confines and nagging whiny demands. We might find a point of equilibrium if we experience separation in contact with what is absolutely Other. He uses the surreal naturalistic fable of a shrimp that needs to imbibe a grain of sand to establish equilibrium.
The shrimp, he says, needs to take this outside inside. But it has to be the right grain of sand, it has to find this right grain of sand at all costs—scientists forced them swallow all kinds of things that set them off balance, including grains of metal that allowed the scientists to play with these poor little shrimp using magnets. Strange that evolution can make room for something like this! Some psychoanalysts tried to explain anxiety by the idea of the shock of birth, the separation from the mother’s body. Freud didn’t buy this because then everyone would be crippled by virtue of being born. Lacan says,

let us think of the shrimp, a foreign exterior, not so unlike oxygen, breath, must invading us from the outside.

data (n.)
d
1640s, "a fact given or granted," classical plural of datum, from Latin datum "(thing) given," neuter past participle of dare "to give" (from PIE root *do- "to give"). In classical use originally "a fact given as the basis for calculation in mathematical problems." From 1897 as "numerical facts collected for future reference."
Meaning "transmittable and storable information by which computer operations are performed" is first recorded 1946. Data-processing is from 1954; data-base (also database) "structured collection of data in a computer" is by 1962; data-entry is by 1970.
Investigating the cross-correlations occurring at converting points of different semiotic operators.
Signs directly enter material flows and into the functioning of machines. Rationality evolves from an instrument of human emancipation to one of its solidification. While a gross amount of communication and action is transferred into quantifiable, measurable and analyzable data, the unconscious actors of social construction become todays number crunchers and widget makers.
The ruling numerocray shifts reason from causalities to correlatives. The factual disbands the theoretical and gives us a glimpse of a possible world in which the “that (something is)” renders the “why (something is)” irrelevant.
Asignifying semiotics: money, the stock market, price differentials, algorithms, statistics, scientific equations and formulas are motors running our social and technical machines. And they do so by circumventing language, law and conventions as they do not create meaning, but instead act directly on the real, producing output, their own objects and generating operational sense. Gaining in competence, this is how they fabricate a new knowledge logic.
The subject matter of the works in this group are these smart things, fictitious motors and sign-machines.
