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 spontaneous

biological traits, entities, and/
or social structures that previously
existed separately. The process
of generating new
modes of being.

A process of perpetual change, that

phenomenal, deep, and thick time.
A flux of qualitative change

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.
