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.

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.

Physical or metaphysical
boundlessness. The unlimited number of
stars in the universe. The endless sequence
of counting numbers. The unknowability of
all possible thoughts. A boundlessness that
cannot be expressed, only reflected
in a finite thing or being.

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 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 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.

computer processes that trace the

changing relationships
over time.

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 fusion of
haunting and ontology.
The persistent lingering of shapes,
forms, motifs, tropes, habits, practices
and/or power relations, beyond death or
obsolescence. The inerasable trace
of the past in the present.
