Discarded Organ (currency of transference) features a model of Franz Mesmer’s baquet beside a diagram from R.D. Laing’s paranoid-simulative “Knots.” Mesmer’s baquet is an 18th century capacitor to which Mesmer’s patients would place their ailing body members for rejuvenation by way of supposed electromagnetic Flutbarkeiten (“floodability”). “Animal magnetism” through the baquet is reported to have facilitated thought transference between the proto- analyst (e.g., Mesmer himself) and analysand.
