ABSTRACT
This chapter examines some contemporary artists who draw on a tradition of critiquing this kind of work and producing undercommon rhythms against such work. There is an important difference between the rhythm of work Fanon is describing and the historical institution of Fordist and Taylorist rhythms of the assembly line. The only sound in the social factory is the rhythm of work because that is what takes place in a factory. The area of management studies concerned with the factory is operations management. For operations management, the factory is the scene of a process. This is process in the sense of procession, procedure and movement. There is a rich history for logistical populations to draw upon here and synaptic workers around the globe have finally caught up to it though it has been with us all along, in the undercommons.
