Amanda Beech's 'Final Machine' [2013] is a three-part video piece that explores the power of images within the context of uncertainty. Blending detective-style writing, concise prophetic visions, and assertive mantras, the work serves as an exploration of images, politics, and art itself. This volume includes a foreword by Robin Mackay and new essays by Reza Negarestani and Bridget Crone, which interpret and expand upon Beech's work, connecting it to politics, fiction, and philosophy, and weaving these themes throughout her broader practice.
