Physical or metaphysical
boundlessness. The unlimited number of
stars in the universe. The endless sequence
of counting numbers. The unknowability of
all possible thoughts. A boundlessness that
cannot be expressed, only reflected
in a finite thing or being.

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.

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.
A set of dispositions
or ‘codings’ for reactivation
in human, animal, plant, mineral,
geospatial, and artificial systems.
Discrete memories cannot be reduced
to a place, object, medium, or practice.
They are always in the process
of being over-written,
changed, or erased.

information overload, sabotage,
and deception.

A process of transitioning
across boundaries and borders.
A threshold state in which the

Liminal objects, things and individuals
are neither here nor there. They are
betwixt & between positions & stable patterns inhabiting a realm
of pure possibility.
