hello visitor,

this recording surface is in constant progress. you´ll need some patience for it: the loading times in order to see everything are extremely long. so go have a coffee or check your email and come back, if you are interested.

in some time this temporary problem of velocities will have solved itself. for the "organic" approach in this recording surface there is to say, besides trying to share what I do, I use this surface as a tool. together with my dear friend Dennis Straub(AFKM), I have a lot of ideas on how to develop this further into a true organic electricity romance. but untill then...good luck with this!

next to my general research in a while you will find areas of projects and collaborations I am engaged in. plus hyperlinks are finally introduced. so try and click every once in a while into the happy hyper browse.

autoforms

"run that motherfuckin' program, cause we`re ready!"

An autoform is a form which cannot be broken down into countables. It constitutes its form by programs like any other form. These programs connect with a hidden mechanic, which finds it source in an impenetrable world of equal-zero-emission, we can`t intrude there with any of our recognized senses. A molecule is the smallest possible portion of a particular substance. No human has ever seen or handled a single one, which I would call an extremely unbelievable fact. It has a loose patchwork of fantasies – which will always be present – but on which level?
autoforms, therefore, is one of those branches of study which deal with programs invisible and imperceptible by our senses, and which cannot be subjected to direct experiment. Yes, through the spherule we grindin'.

Why metaphors? Why representation? The novelty of not knowing and the freedom of aesthetic-less bliss conjoin to make solid the unreal the lost concept of admitting inexperience. Why not physical reality? Why follow the mean path of recordings?

All these multiple kinds of diffusion—the diffusion of matter, of momentum, and of energy—are carried on by the motion of miniature-worlds and are the reason anything is. Brain. Art. The greater the velocity of the molecules and the farther they travel before their paths are altered by collision with other molecules, the more rapid will be the diffusion. Bio-art is a gateway drug. A self writing description. The autoform is its form.

We love you.

This means: I have to find materials that are in constant process, materials that embody the mechanical processes instead of depicting them, materials that are a program that determines their form, instead of "giving" them a form.

The artwork in this context wants to be understood as a real thing in a real world with a real sphere in an open loop with other real things in its automatic interlinking activity with them. This real activity constitutes its form. This notion is very important in my work. Art leaves its extra-position and its claim for a metaphorical or connotative reading in favour of a “paradox of a writing that is writing itself”.

Aber es wimmelt in ihnen von Komplexitäten und Geschwindigkeiten, die weit über ihr eigenes Verständnis hinausgehen. Es geht nicht um einen Gegensatz zwischen Gehirn und Körper. Das Gehirn ist Körper, erstreckt sich sogar in die Fingerspitzen, durch alle denkenden, pulsierenden, fluktuierenden chemischen Substanzen, und ist virtuell mit der Materie anderer Körper, Kleider, Tastaturen, Verkehrsströme, Großstadtstraßen und Datenströmen verschaltet. Es gibt keine Immaterialität.

molekülo

the molecules are not only moving, dispersed programs make the grass grow, but every now and then we are striking each other with such violence that our multiplicities part, and dance about through the crowd, seeking new partners which have become dissociated in the same way.

god, me, my comrades and jesus; me, my mother my father and dr.quantum; me, asshole freud and auntie plato; me at all, us at all, all, inner space, cosmo-creaturistic automatics, acutely packed into you-groups and definitions: welcome! , welcome, down to the grass that furnishes the planter with such particles as it cannot manufacture itself, and finds itself a worker. in all intends and purposes: amok off!

folds, life, promiscuous and fused, billions of extreme minute particles, fibres, bacteria and viruses. no generations, no future, no past. just existing in positions. minimachine-positions in wet, dark, slimy protein wires. o.k.

oh quanta, my role models, only you on my plasm walls! yesterdays fairy tale of the dough and the baking form still halls through the suburbian helixes. the house has a separated shower. it sussurates something that reminds me of a former position: ight!

long live our classification of complexities!

long live definition self! on its way to part again molekülo is a monument from the sandbox: a charm for the detached…

Those were the days, when we were all at sea. It seems like yesterday to me. Species, sex, race, class: in those days none of this meant anything at all. No parents, no children, just ourselves, strings of inseperable sisters, warm and wet, indistinguishable one from the other, gloriously indiscriminate, promiscuous and fused. No generations. No future. No past. An endless geographic plane of micromeshing pulsing quanta, limitless webs of interacting blendings, leakings, mergings, weaving through ourselves, running rings around each other, heedless, needless, aimless, careless, thoughless, amok. Folds and foldings, plying and multiplying, plicating and replicating. We had no definition, no meaning, no way of telling each other apart. We were whatever we were up to at that time. Free exchanges, microprocessese, finely tuned, polymorophous transfers without regards for borders or boundaries. There was nothing to hang on to, nothing to be grasped, nothing to protect or be protected from. Insides and outsides did not count. We gave no thought to any such thing. We gave no thought to anything at all. Everything was there for the taking then. We paid no attention: it was all for free. It had been that way for tens, thousands, millions, billions of what were later defined as years. If we had thought about it, we would have said it would go on forever, this fluent, fluid world. And then something occurred to us […] Only a few of us survived the break. Conditions were so terrible that many of those who did pull through wished they had died. We mutated in such an extend that we were unrecognizable to ourselves banding together in units of a kind o which, like everything had been unthinkable before. We found ourselves working as slave components of systems whose scales and complexities we could not comprehend. Were we there parasites? Wherethey ours? Either way we became components of our own imprisonment. To all intends and purposes, we disappeared.

Das Denken ist nicht baumförmig, und das Gehirn ist weder eine verwurzelte noch eine verzweigte Materie. Die zu Unrecht so genannten 'Dendriten' stellen keine Verbindung von Neuronen in einem zusammenhängenden Gewebe her. Die Diskontinuität der Zellen, die Rolle der Axonen, die Funktion der Synapsen, die Existenz synaptischer Mikro-Fissuren, der Sprung jeder Botschaft über diese Fissuren hinweg machen aus dem Gehirn eine Mannigfaltigkeit...Vielen Menschen ist ein Baum in den Kopf gepflanzt, aber das Gehirn selbst ist eher ein Kraut oder ein Gras als ein Baum.

Vier Tipps

Lektion 1: Tarnung

Verhalten Sie sich unauffällig. Wenn Sie nicht sofort und eindeutig zu erkennen sind, haben Sie einen entscheidenden Zeitvorteil. SARS hat es vorgemacht: Getarnt als harmlose Grippe konnte sich die Funktion über mehrere Monate hinweg ausbreiten, bevor Analysen und Gegenmaßnahmen verfügbar waren.

Lektion 2: Flexibilität

Hängen Sie nicht an Ihrer Form.

Lektion 3: Ausdauer

Lektion 4: Ausbreitung

Nutzen Sie alle Möglichkeiten! Breiten Sie sich so unkompliziert aus wie möglich. Topmodell in Sachen Ausbreitung ist seit jeher die einfache Grippe (Influenza).

ooooooooooooo

Those were the days. Wir waren alle am Meer. Es kommst mir wie gestern vor. Geschlecht, Spezies, Rasse, Klasse - nichts davon hatte damals irgendeine Bedeutung. Keine Eltern, keine Kinder, nur wir selbst. Reihen unzertrennlicher Schwestern, warm und feucht, ununterscheidbar, wunderbar, wahllos, promiskuitiv und verschmolzen. Keine Gernerationen. Keine Zukunft. Keine Vergangenheit. Endlose Ebenen verwobener pulsierender Quanten, Gewebe aufeinander wirkender Mischungen, Verschmelzungen und Durchlässigkeiten, durch uns selbst gewebt, einander umschlingend, rücksichtslos, grund-, ziel-, sorglos, gedankenlos. Amok.Falten, Faltungen eingefädelt und ausufernd, zusammengefaltet und vervielfältigend. Es gab keine Definition für uns, keine Bedeutung und nichts, um uns auseinanderzudividieren. Wir waren, was immer wir waren, bis zu jener Zeit. Fein abgestimmte Mikroprozesse, polymorpher Verkehr, freier Austausch, keine Rücksicht auf Grenzen und Begrenzungen. An nichts mußte gehangen werden, nichts ergriffen werden, nichts beschützt oder abgewehrt werden. Innen und außen zählten nicht. Wir verschwendeten keinen Gedanken darauf. Überhaupt keinen Gedanken auf irgendwas. Wir konnten alles mitnehmen. Wir achteten nicht darauf: es war umsonst. Hunderte, Tausende, Millionen, Milliarden von dem, was später Jahre sein würden, war es so gewesen. Hätten wir darüber nachgedacht, wir hätten gesagt, es würde immer so weiter gehen. Diese flüssige, fließende Welt würde nie enden. Doch dann geschah etwas. [...] Den Umbruch überlebten nur wenige von uns. Die Bedingungen waren schrecklich, und viele, die durchkamen, wären lieber gestorben. Wir mutierten in einem solchen Außmaß, daß wir uns selbst nicht mehr wiedererkannten, zusammengefaßt in Einheiten aller Art, die - wie alles - vorher undenkbar gewesen war. Wir fanden uns als untergeordnete Bestandteile von Systemen, deren Umfang und Komplexität uns entgingen. Waren wir Ihre oder sie unsere Parasiten? So oder so wurden wir zu Bestandteilen unseres eigenen Gefängnisses. Im Grunde verschwanden wir.
