AQ & Nick Land
Psychotic Schizo-LARP or the Retroactive Diagnosis of Outsideness?
Despite a reputation granted by way of aesthetic adjacency, Land’s engagement with what we might actually call “Synchronic Numbering” does not rest on mystical revelation or occult transmission but functions as a deliberately anti-hermeneutic procedure that applies a formally indifferent numerical constraint to linguistic material and observes what survives. [...] Land’s project is diagnostic rather than divinatory: AQ [Alphanumeric Qabbala] does not speak for the Outside but demonstrates that thought was never sovereign enough to exclude it.
