Thank you!!!!

Thanks for this and making it open access for all. I'm considering the position of the positive-ness of change within iteration for artistic research. I have been reading "Signature Event Context" to help understand Derrida's position on this - all be it a small position within his wider theoretical positioning. Anyway, this was super interesting and I would have loved to have joined the seminar discussion afterwards! (I'm an artist and Prof of Fine Art in the UK)

Nathan! This is wonderful. I just stumbled upon your video while searching for the essay itself. Am assigning to my graduate theory class at URI. So many thanks for doing this!

Dude this is good work, but if you want people to fully engage with your work, I recommend investing in a higher functioning microphone setup, because there are a lot of central ideas that are difficult to understand at this current quality.

Thanks for checking this out! Sorry for the audio! Was just doing an online class and not trying to make youtube content ... and this was one of my first ones. (I think my mic is better now? who knows!) -N
