The plurality alive in art, always risks being overtaken, colonized, immobilized and arrested by the forces of encounter it invites. Yet paraphrasing Nietzsche, Deleuze writes, a force would not survive if it did not first of all borrow the features of the forces with which it struggles. What a will wants is to affirm its difference. Through the will to power, force takes form.
Active force always risks capture by reactive force and the risk of translation, of rendering work within a stabilizing narrative of identity or representation.

The diagram of the painting/drawing is its feeling of force taking form that is itself in movement.

The Work's Diagram.
The force of the work is an emergent way of looking, more than an actual taking form.

Opening the present to its potential for experiential complexity.
Opening to the indeterminacy of experience.
Creating work that remains open to an infinity of potential evocations.
Making works that resonate with an ontogenitic plurality of sense(s).
The same object, the same phenomenon changes sense depending on what force which appropriates it. Deleuze.
We become sited in the fielding of the quasi chaos of microperceptions, an experience that leaves us out of breath, our muscles tense with the twitching of kinaesthetic empathy. We move with the intensive magnitude of the micromovements moving.
Erin Manning.
Landing sites choose us, creating an associated milieu that worlds the body-environment.
Some are perceptual, some are dimensionalizing, some are imaging.
Organism-Person-Environment
A decision is like a hook onto the environment to gain traction on it.
Fielding how we think-feel.
Nothing happens without kinaesthetic instigation and corporeal proddings.
A landing not so much into a place, as a dancing into attendance.
Architectural Body, Arakawa/Gins. 2002.
A choreographed encounter is never, wholly what it seems, you can't really choreograph movement because we are constantly in a process of fielding our surroundings, which also fields us. How we think-feel is a space-time of experience alters where and how we can experience it. This fielding is how Arakawa and Gins define a landing site.
Erin Manning.
The decision of the landing site is its focusing into experience.
For Whitehead a decision is a becoming actual of a virtual potential, and decision is what gives the event form and by consequence creates an individuation. The decision is the separating off, the honing in that makes a particular tonality take form.
We Land into the focus of an awareness that becomes us.
Actuality is the decision amid potentiality.
A decision creates the potential for consciousness, not the other way around.
Whitehead. 1929/Erin Manning-Interlude.
For Arakawa and Gins, landing sites corner experience in the making.
A landing site is an activity that is as expressive as it is organizational.
Apparatuses/Diagrams
Holding their form, their bodies pause, the camera waits for them.
In the work's final form, the force of its potential can still be felt, this is the works diagram.
The camera focuses these sites into an in-gathering that captures them as transitory thought-feelings. We feel the shift from dances in the making to haptic experiments in the viewing.
The camera works with the tensile activity of the dancers minimal gestures, moving now to one side as though filming four bodies in one, suspending our attention in tandem with the suspended bodies.
Sculpting in Time.
Films heavy with the languor of relationships forming between bodies, ground, and partitioned space.
For Tarkovsky, the presence of the camera is felt as though it were another body, forcefully moving us to watch, constraining us to see not only a location or a dance, but the tensile rhythm of groundedness itself. The camera bis not there only for the recording, it feels the weight of the waiting, physically as we watch. These shifting affective tonalities are landing sites. They are what Arakawa and Gins call a depositing of sited awareness.
