A scale of gendered being
created through cultural practices,
language, and social reinforcement
or – a reaction against it. The performance
of gendered behaviour, in gesture, action,
& speech. A refashioning, or surgical
modification of the body.

Purposefully created

indexed by some set, and their
changing relationships
over time.

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 process of altering the forms
or social significance of existing media.
A re-purposing, re-fashioning, or migration
of objects of knowledge from one sphere
to another. A way to re-materialise exper-
ience in different systems of value –
aesthetic, social, cultural,
and political.

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.
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.

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 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.

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.

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.
