The fundamental constituent
of the universe. Energy-matter’s
cycles of concentration and dissipation
are usually seen as separate. Energy is

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 lived environment with physical
factors, such as space, soil, and light,
with biotic factors, such as food, and with
geographical factors, such as climate. Habitats endure. They change drasti-
cally only as a result of violent events,
like earthquakes, or the invasion
of an alien species.

and political.

A process of transitioning
across boundaries and borders.

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

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.
