Is channelling a political gesture, like group work used to be before it became indulgent?
Perhaps, there is certainly plenty of evidence to support that opinion, but I think it is difficult to make such clear-cut distinctions. From our perspective, politics can only ever come from the individual. Channelling is perhaps a way to connect the individual to something that might resemble a greater, more totalising, and therefore possibly more powerful, political whole. I doubt though whether this would still function after future work has been carried out on all our other, even unknown, core technologies.
