autopoeitic machines and the ION

there are two types of machines then? - the "allopoeitic" and the autopoeitic". Is this like the scientific demonstration of metaphor? / [well one way of looking at it] - describing it perhaps by what I could describe here as the sorting and filing of ideas into categories - then the synthesis of appropriate extracts into nice ordered concepts - [archive after archive] of the type being utilised here by Guatari - the "here it is all neat and tidy kind of knowledge" - Well I'm saying it very well could be - why not? bringing me happily to the resurgence of the ancient quarrel between the poet and the philosopher, that is still of course quite beautifully unresolved to this day - We have in fact titled the performance in the Newlyn gallery ARTIST"S AS MACHINES - here is the crux of the matter - we are in effect requisitioning the title of the performance from Guatari's own archive of text - piecing together the elements that have set this event in motion; however as writer of the playscript for that performance am I now, I ask you responsible for describing something of the theoretical references that have been literally [shovelled] into the action? - yes I think I am.
