Lindsay Seers’ work has been deeply informed by French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941), whose ideas around time and subjectivity are discussed here by Simon O’Sullivan. A Senior Lecturer in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths College and Programme Leader for the MA in Contemporary Art Theory, O’Sullivan is an artist, writer and researcher. In recent years focusing on Guattari’s notion of the ‘production of subjectivity,’ he has drawn on the work of Spinoza, Bergson, the late Foucault and the writings of Deleuze and Guattari amongst others. This work has resulted in his new publication On the Production of Subjectivity: Five Diagrams of the Finite-Infinite Relation (Palgrave, 2012).
