Queen of Hands – Production (Poesis)
(Cards of Fruition)

The Queen of Hands is the mother of all cognition. The one who creates out of nothing. Facilitating, caring, accompanying, making sure that the potential does not go to waste, that the work will bear fruit, see the light of day, and in a presentable and proper manner. In the current state of affairs, in which we produce ourselves (the everyday and the ordinary) as an attraction, the Queen of Hands wishes to remind us that knowledge and creation belong to the common, to the public, to the Human.

She wishes to operate from behind the curtain, so as to connect knowledge to experience and to life, to appearance and to visibility. Committed to the presence, to use, and to the effect. She wishes to be the expression of the force of creation: The holding-together of the totality of phenomenon.

Production involves a product
– what continues to exist: transient, susceptible to change and damage, subject to production and care. As though wading in experience, in gathering and using the findings of research and analysis, in mediation, in the mechanism and the little details. Production is responsible for the deployment of knowledge in the world, for making it specific and concrete, relevant and current.

Production is the realm of the “politics of knowledge.” It is not indifferent to the intrigues and conspiracies required for knowing life and especially for life with knowledge. It wishes to regulate and organize the experience ahead of time, so as to ensure readiness and accessibility for the experience to arise, and for others to experience on time.

Production uses the power of others, for others. It organizes and regulates the desires and pleasure of knowledge, the temptation and excitement in the act of knowing. It stresses the need to work together, to form work relationships, tap into resources and seize opportunities, harness many skills and abilities to one creation. Choreograph an ensemble of creative action. Weave the opulence, grandeur, and beauty of human creation.

All knowledge is a type of springing-forth (poiesis), a mode of production.
