HomeThe quote is given in Simon O'Sullivan's recent book 'Art Encounters Deleuze and Guattari'(2006) in the context of a discussion of the psychogeographer Ivan Chtcheglov:
"Deleuze's formulation of this 'New Baroque' reads like a parallel manifesto to the 'new' psychogeographical practices called for by Chtcheglov. Here is Deleuze: 'The extensive unity of the arts forms a universal theatre that includes air and earth, and even fire and water. In it sculptures play the role of real characters, and the city a decor in which spectators are themselves painted images or figurines. The sum of the arts becomes the Socius, the public social space inhabited by baroque dancers.' " (Deleuze in O'Sullivan, 2006: 138)
