Impedance and Admittance in Desiring Machines

August Moldenhauer

Impedance and Admittance in Desiring Machines is the first of a three-volume series of books on Artificial Psychology of Desiring Machines. August Moldenhauer explores the relation of Lacan’s Graph of Desire as a tool and its potential impact on the future of what has been the domain of the psychiatric for the past 150 years. The following series seeks to not only look into the relation of analysand and analyst as operator and interpreter, but the impact this has in not only post-Structuralist affirmations as well as in post-Enlightenment thought and its discrete application in Deep Learning methodologies of Artificial Intelligence. In long history of the psychological and psychoanalytical writing, there has been a long standing and categorical roles for the subject and the analyst, which are potentially overturned or at least subject to a broader and lay interpretation as a result of discrete application of both the Freudian and Lacanian toolset. We find this toolset applied to current horizon: a spectrum of human automatons and sentient machines. The book features a forward by William Mitchell and is published by pontos fathom press.
