A process of transitioning
across boundaries and borders.
A threshold state in which the
present order has been suspended.
Liminal objects, things and individuals
are neither here nor there. They are
betwixt & between positions & stable patterns inhabiting a realm
of pure possibility.

The fundamental constituent
of the universe. Energy-matter’s
cycles of concentration and dissipation
are usually seen as separate. Energy is
seen as transformation. Matter is seen
as consisting of particles or
waves. In reality, they
are a continuum.

The capacity to act inter-
dependently with other factors and
networks. A temporally embedded pro-
cess of iteration, understood as a selective
reactivation of past patterns of action,
& projection, understood as a sensing
or calculation of possible
future trajectories.

A sense of having
a ‘subject body’ and an
‘object body’, usually described
as ‘the body we are’ and ‘the body we
have’. Both are shaped by visceral
perception, virtual and physical
lifeworlds, individual and
collective imagination.

Anarchive
An ephemeral repository without centrally organised memory.
Resists fixing data in favour of informational iteration, and the interplay
of remembering and forgetting. The Indeterminacy Anarchive is a constellation
of contemporary artistic practices that engage with key tenets of indeterminacy, either
thematically, or formally. It relies on randomised forms of retrieval. When you
click on ‘anarchive,’ in the website menu, a randomised selection of
terms appear. When you click on one of these terms, one
of the possible connections appears. All paths are local.
There is no meta-view. No point from which
the totality of the anarchive
can be surveyed.
The act of turning, or
a condition of being turned
backwards. A spontaneous or
intentional repositioning of a piece of
information, artefact, theory or version
of history in order to radically change
its meaning or trajectory.

A spontaneous
or purposeful re-
-combination of discrete
biological traits, entities, and/
or social structures that previously
existed separately. The process
of generating new
modes of being.

A fusion of
haunting and ontology.
The persistent lingering of shapes,
forms, motifs, tropes, habits, practices
and/or power relations, beyond death or
obsolescence. The inerasable trace
of the past in the present.

The capacity of materials
& living organisms to achieve
structural changes. In materials,
plasticity is the capacity for being
moulded. In organisms, it is the ability
to respond to the environment. In
nervous systems, it is the capacity
to adapt in response to
experience or injury.

Usually seen as the
quantification of attributes
of a pre-existing object or event.
As measurement always relies on tools,
apparatuses, human and machinic
agents, measuring devices also
create the object or event
being measured.
