A fragment of scored reality. A
four-dimensional perceptual ready-
made first practiced by the Fluxus artists
in the 1960s. The event score resembles a
musical score, only instead of music, it
scores events. It usually takes the form
of a verbal pictogram or per-
formance instruction.

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.

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.

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 of materials
& living organisms to achieve
structural changes. In materials,
plasticity is the capacity for being
moulded. In organisms, it is the ability
to respond to the environment. In
nervous systems, it is the capacity
to adapt in response to
experience or injury.

Observable or
unobservable things. Putative
facts about a difference in the fabric
of reality, or a lack of uniformity,
used as a basis for reasoning,
comparison, calculation,
poetry, or art.

A scale of gendered being

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.
