Constant-contact circuits replace old anxieties with new pressures of instant valourisation

Evidence

For all that it evades older kinds of anxieties, Baudrillard’s circuit of constant contact generates a whole set of new ones. The pressure of the instantaneous — of what, in their new manifesto, “On the Creative Question — Nine Theses”, Geert Lovink, Sebastian Olma and Ned Rossiter call “frantic entrepreneurship and instant valorisation” — inevitably weighs heavy on cultural producers. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1770
