Discontinous a actual spatio -> temporal structure (experience)
=
these transition -> becoming (opening a transcendenta field)

5. A matter of measure
What is new method of measure in new work?

6. the plane of immanence

7. unhinged time in the plane of immanence

8. other
Becoming = Equipment
Equipment = practical knowledge + its apparatuses

Experience is mixture of memory and perception.

9. conclusion
Economical triggering allows performances to seem to 'do more than they do, and thos 'more than' - entailing a constitutive 'not-yet-here' - gas very clear implications for the digital performance - making economy.
