about

While clearing my hard drive of files, I came across some unfinished and part compositions and ideas, So I processed and sculpted these chance encounters to produce a luxurious use of this 'waste and excess'.

According to Georges Bataille's theory of consumption, the accursed share is that excessive and non-recuperable part of any economy which is destined to one of two modes of economic and social expenditure. This must either be spent luxuriously and knowingly without gain in the arts, in non-procreative sexuality, in spectacles and sumptuous monuments, or it is obliviously destined to an outrageous and catastrophic outpouring in war.

The notion of "excess" energy is central to Bataille's thinking. This extra, superabundance of energy can be used productively for growth or it can be lavishly expended. Bataille insists that growth or expansion always runs up against limits and becomes impossible. The wasting of this energy is "luxury." The form and role luxury assumes in a society are characteristic of that society. "The accursed share" refers to this excess, destined for waste.
