EPOCHÉ
suspension of judgement, phenomenological reduction. The idea of interchangeable, non-fixed realities, in which with creative means one can actively shape the meanings of personal history and therefore the present. In this subjective or intersubjective reality objects or phenomena can be redefined. --- With the suspension of conceptual knowledge and judgement entrepreneurship could take on different forms. Through artistic means and methods maybe an economic utopia could be imagined and then maybe applied in our physical reality in one way or another together with machinic appropriation. (Gustė Kripaitė)

AUTOPOESIS
"It was in these circumstances ... in which he analyzed Don Quixote's dilemma of whether to follow the path of arms (praxis, action) or the path of letters (poiesis, creation, production), I understood for the first time the power of the word "poiesis" and invented the word that we needed: autopoiesis. This was a word without a history, a word that could directly mean what takes place in the dynamics of the autonomy proper to living systems." (Humberto Maturana & Francisco Varela: Autopoesis and Cognition.
