Abstract
“To leave, to escape, is to trace a line. …The line of flight is a deterritorialization. … But to flee is not to renounce action: nothing is more active than flight. It is the opposite of the imaginary. It is also to put to flight - not necessarily others, but to put something to flight, to put a system to flight as one bursts a tube.” (Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari). A multimedia concert that has been developed in a workshop from 12 to 16 September at the Ivy Arts Centre, University of Surrey, features lines of flight from the music of Rameau alighting on Armstrong’s compositional assemblage JPR, the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, and current situations of migration, movement, departure, and deterritorialisation.
