Minor

In relation to alternative, peripheral, experimental, and emerging practices one can think of the concept of the minor. By minor is meant something that is not necessarily static, an artwork or practice that does not ‘fit’ in a large system (an art /media movement, for example) or operates at its margins, or work that resists becoming mainstream or is critical of the dominant system. In the context of art and its histories, this might relate to what has been described as ‘radical’, for example first statements, manifestos, avant-garde strategies, experimental stuff. Time factor. The artist Mike Kelley specifically addresses “minor histories”, its character of “a certain opposition to existing historical forms.” Deleuze and Guattari describe the literature of Franz Kafka as minor, in its power of a critical literature operating at the margins. It is a language cut off from the masses in which everything is political and takes on a collective value (D&G). What is spoken by an individual is always already that of a certain common, a community, and constitutes solidarity among a particular collective. Can open source movement express this minor? Is its site marginal of necessity? Can it be open to joining with other minor assemblages?
