Here Comes Trouble

Here Comes Trouble - An Inquiry into Art, Magic & Madness as Deviant
Knowledge, ZK/U PRESS (2016)

system as a whole. The weight of your body exists between these vastly different scales.
Here Comes Trouble, An Inquiry into Art, Magic and Madness as Deviant Knowledge, is not
about thermodynamics, negative feedback or refrigerators. Neither have I written a book about
geology, black holes or migration, yet each of these material systems offer insights into the
slippery topic of deviancy.
So what is deviancy? What forms does it take historically and what, as it were, does it do?
