Delusional Cause is an ongoing long term artistic research project within the theoretical framework of Alfred Sohn-Rethel's critique of epistemology. The texts, videos and performances are interruptions in a cumulative and reiterative study which aims to work toward a method or model to adequately visualize capital. The project is expanding towards a speculative exploration of the real abstraction and its aesthetics in today's digital age. Delusional Cause is an attempt to create a stylistic structure whose internal tensions are a metaphor for the internal tensions and structural tendencies of a social 'body' moving by a revolutionary path toward its own 'form'. Delusional Cause #8 is a performance script.

"there in the marketplace and in shop windows
things stand still
they stand there waiting to be sold
they are there for one activity only
to change owners
and while they are there for exchange, they are not there for use
they find themselves in the vacuum of infinite time and space
and the spell does not only freeze the action of men to abstain from any ravages in the body of these commodities
no, even nature itself holds her breath for the sake of this social business of men."

"a coin is to serve as a means of exchange
and not as an object of use.
its weight and metallic purity are guaranteed by the issuing authority.
so that if by the wear and tear in circulation it has lost in weight.
full replacement is provided.
a coin is supposed to consist of a substance over which time has no power
and which stands in antithetic contrast to any matter found in nature."
