Means are matters of practice, things to do things with. A mean is a mean to fulfill a certain task. They are a category of things that carry potential: instruments, tools, stages, spaces, infrastructures, resources, strategies, ideas. Means are volatile and ambiguous things, that have some other than the current state of things inscribed into them. Means point elsewhere.

Or they might hint at their own immateriality, the ideal of the idea, the unfortunate core of most best case scenarios.
