The movement he belongs to: the "Anticonfluential Après Garde," optics-and-desire

texture · UNDATED (scholarly apparatus)

• When: UNDATED — the scholarship is dated across Subsidized years in n024's footnotes
• What: The filmography's footnotes place JOI inside a named movement: Comstock, Posner, and Duquette's "The Laughing Pathologists: Exemplary Works of the Anticonfluential Après Garde... the Movement Toward Stasis in North American Conceptual Film" lists him beside Beth B., Vivienne Dick, E. and K. Snow; E. Duquette's "Beholden to Vision: Optics and Desire in Four Après Garde Films" reads the optics as erotics. (Duquette and the critic n145 renders "Posener" are also the Found Drama hoax's inside men, event 6 — the apparatus canonizing the movement is partly the movement's own prank crew; see Dating notes on the spelling.) The apparatus is the thread's evidence that the oeuvre was received as a coherent aesthetic program — "the Movement Toward Stasis" — not a grab-bag.
