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.

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 deliberate use of ambiguous,
confusing, or misleading information to
disable surveillance, data collection, and
the infiltration of digital power mecha-
nisms, including evasion, noncompliance,
refusal, and agonistic tactics such as
information overload, sabotage,
and deception.

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 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.

The process that causes an
organism to develop its shape. A key
aspect of biological self-organisation. In
artificial intelligence, morphogenesis is the
process of machinic ‘becoming’or self-
regulation emerging from the
diversity of information.

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 expressive activity of
all things, beings, and phenomena.
A process of perpetual change, that
includes physical, psychological, lived,
phenomenal, deep, and thick time.
A flux of qualitative change

creative potential

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.
