The Faciality machine (n.) pins ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠you to the white wall and stuffs you in the black hole: the social production of face, facializing the whole body and landscaping every world.

The Faciality machine (n.) in ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠its despotic form multiplies eyes — the despot or his representatives are everywhere — and the subject facing it does not so much see as get snapped up by black holes.

The Faciality machine (n.) puts ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a macroface in place of the many animal faces: the faces of father, teacher, colonel and boss all resonating into one face whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere.

The Faciality machine (n.) judges ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠every face yes or no, like a half-doddering despot: too polite to be honest, neither a man's nor a woman's — "A ha! It must be a transvestite" — at any rate, you've been recognized.

The Faciality machine (n.) must ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be dismantled, and that is a politics, a whole becoming-clandestine — the only way to it is to find your black holes and white walls, know your faces.
