Would creativity be the solution to the incompleteness of the self?
The desire and desiring machines in constant flux in Deleuzian term. So as the subject understands that there is no ultimate satisfaction to this insatiable machine it produces new desires for itself to chase. This is all good and practical in itself, however wouldn't creativity become a desire itself that looses its fluctuations and then becomes an spectacle? The thing that I'm asking is related to the idea of a representation so when those ideas become the repressing representation even if the thing itself is essentially kinetic and not static, couldn't that idea become a pedestal that one strives to and never reaches and because of its distance it becomes static? Couldn't the radical ideologies which try to deterritorialize everything to its limit till it reaches the edge become some kind of a territorialization in the self that it can't escape in the molecular level so that when it reaches the cosmological boundaries, the ouroboros has ate its tail already; so that the desiring machines which was directed to a state of potentially and creativity (something like body without organs), is nothing but a strive to be alive an strive to become a self in the eye of the other in Lacanian terms which will never lead to any radical change, and then change become the ultimate static point of creativity that we can not flee. The constant strive to speak the word of the new becomes the oldest cliché without anything significant about it.
