To pulverise the world but also to spiritualise its dust -Gilles Deleuze, The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque One day or another, given its persistence... dust will probably begin to gain the upper hand over the servants, pouring immense amounts of rubbish into abandoned buildings and deserted stockyards: and, at that distant epoch, nothing will remain to ward off night terrors, in the absence of which we have become such great bookkeepers -Georges Bataille, Formless: A User's Guide I'll shew you alive/The world when every particle of dust breathes forth its joy -William Blake, Europe: A Prophecy Each particle of dust carries with it a unique vision of matter, movement, collectivity, interaction, affect, differentiation, composition and infinite darkness -a crystallised data-base or a plot ready to combine and react, to be narrated on and through something. There is no line of narration more concrete than a stream of dust particles -Reza Negarestani, Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials We could also mention Bergson's invocation of life as being composed of eddies of dust -Ben Woodard, Slime Dynamics: Generation, Mutation and the Creep of Life
