Just letting you know that your videos are hits among a small group of leftists in Austin, Texas.
Thanks so much for making them.

I hope you realize how important is this kind of work.
I really appreciate your making this video, it's made many things so much clearer and many more even more exciting to learn about.

Should probably take the time to simply thank you, Dave, for creating these videos. I've been continually engaged with Deleuze since undergrad back in 03, so that there have been plenty of points that helped me to gain some greater clarity. Shoring up to finally read D&R;)

Thanks for these. I'm working on a Deleuze as a grad student, and these have been very helpful.

Just getting into Deleuze's thought and these videos are incredibly useful to me. You are great at explaining complex, often obtuse concepts in a straightforward way. I may be 5 years late to the party but I appreciate it a lot!

Anyone know how to get a transcript? This is a great lecture! I finally understood (I think) something that has bothered me for years. Lines of flight make sense when juxtaposed with lines of segmentation! Amazing! Thank you!

Great. I am spurred to want to write about your videos -as a one time active "Video Artist" myself and now current Academic Adjunct nearing the end of a dwindling career -I hope you don't find my comments tedious or ham fisted. It appears this video is machinic in the making, am I right to assume it is either on a remote controlled cart or the camera operator clearly the operator is on some machine? and the focus at least mechanical? I thought of Michael Snow's machinic work, and Gary Hill's brilliant uses. (I know delineating the 'intentions' of the artist isn't the end-all of criticism -but then again, I'm just some guy commenting on youtube) either way, the thought of the specific use of a machinic aspect in this video allowed me more generosity toward other aspects of this video and see them as less than accidental or distracting elements: for instance the speed of the camera movements, that were at first jarring in relation to the narration, swerves and dips that refused to settle on what I very much and very conventionally wanted to drink with my eyes - the visual beauty of the landscape that here just yells for very slow takes or even stationary, with long focus pulls or pans, early Bill Viola "I Do Not Know What It Is I am Like"-ish diffusions and the like - but the camera movement wouldn't fall into that -thwarted! with the expected aesthetic candy kept at a distance by the machinic. Seeing it this way, which I came to believe was the case when I understood there were wheels under this - the dips and swerves seemed deliberate. This then was confirmed by the narrative. Reading it this way also let me integrate another aspect I've found with your videos that has, I'll admit, felt an ultra-tiny-bit distracting up to now (mostly I'm watching them in order) and that is the seeming discomfort with having people linger in the frame. Having taught 'video art' production for decades I at first sort of assumed this was a result of what many students used to experience in the days before iphone cameras made filming almost invisible, I saw that often the reaction to the activity of filming and the camera caused self-consciousness from the students. At first I attributed that to you -or also thought perhaps you don't want objectification and exploitation or don't want the focus removed from the larger context - this last take what felt best, that worked best with the D&G materials. but now, after the the use of the machinic coupled with the narrative about the machinic and line-of-flights that thwart conventional expectations, where my facile desires to linger on the conventional beauty of the very beautiful landscape are thwarted, or when the postcard beauty of the 'cottage-by-sea' is paused over just as issue of the tenacity of conventional aesthetic expectations is discussed - I see the avoidance to people as both keeping with D&G's insistence on the larger contexts, the earth, animals and so on, rather than settling on all the easy fascinations that come bundled on and with specific personalities.

Anyway, I hope you don't mind me babbling about your videos, I have been pretty much uninspired by self-conscious 'Video Art', and in fact pretty much anything to do with 'art' and the 'art world' since youtube entered the scene - I now find the rise of genre of 'Philosophy tutorial videos' to be the most interesting stuff happening, though most of it needs to find its measure dictated by the success or failure to transmit concise information and so most of it never rises above utility. But, perhaps due to the nature of the material of D&G and your seeming disinterest in screaming 'Art!', your work seems to be something fresh - or perhaps it could be that after 5 years since I read 1000Plates, while chaperoning biology students on a 3-month safari in Tanzania (a non-stop set of sublime text-to-world coincidences that would turn a mystic's head, with every read-sentence relating directly to the world around me as living example!!) and 5 years since focusing on Deleuze, I now am starting to feel I'm finding my way? In either case, If I were still active in the art-thing/curating-thang, I'd figure out a way to get your vids reframed, or supplementarily reframed or etc or at least seen by other artists I like to share work with . . . anyway . . . now on to the rest of the series . . .

hi how can we use this idea of line of flight, to improve everyday life, for personal growth reasons and can you give an example please

Great discussion, but the rocking of the camera is a bit nauseating.
