{1} The black box:
we admire the surface; we never open it.
{2} Sealed, smooth, mute:
the machine arrives finished — and silent.
{3} Barthes, on the Citroën D.S.:
“first a gothic cathedral, then a kitchen.”
{4} Apparition, not production:
the object is consumed as a pure image.
{5} Simondon's answer:
openness, not automation.
{6} The open machine:
keeps a margin of indetermination.
{7} The human:
permanent organizer, living interpreter.
{8} Our task tonight:
to rationalize the chaos inside.
