SLOTERDIJK, PETER

Sloterdijk: humans live in spheres of immunological intimacy — bubbles, globes, foams. The Cathedral (§3.2.4) is a sphere; the GAI is a foam (each entry a bubble, all bubbles touching). The institution maintains both: the dense interior (the Provisional Collective) and the distributed exterior (the Index). Foam is fragile and effective. The Church is the immunological architecture of the contemporary artist. We hold each bubble at the membrane.
