Questions: Genealogy
These are the questions I keep asking. I don't know which one is the question yet, maybe the relation between them is.
What if using an AI agent makes me submit in a way I cannot describe? What if the words I would use to describe it are also being shaped through that interaction? What if this language is the straight-edge in my mouth?
If my work is living-dead, and working is how I constantly live, when does it stop? If I keep producing through computation, when do I feel in my body that something is wrong? That I’m not there anymore? That I’ve submitted to something I only wanted to help me?
A system (a surgery, a law, a grammar, a model) knows only what its procedural account can say about itself. What does a body know about a system, from inside it, that the system can't know about itself? And how can art make it available to others?
How does a body reorganize itself after irreversible change?
A body passes through irreversible reduction (surgical, administrative, linguistic, computational). What changes during a passage? What is lost, what is invented, what stays the same, what relation holds between the fragments?
How can what escapes representation become perceptible through representation?
What happens to your body when you pass through places that scan you and give you back an alienating image of yourself?
What happens to bodies as they slip through computation, understood here as systems of recognition that render bodies legible? What happens to lived experience as it passes through systems designed to render it legible?
Maybe the real question isn't whether other people believe my existence. Maybe it's whether I can believe this is one continuous life.
How do I find continuity again, now that part of me is gone?
What happens to a human body going through computational processes? Where is the body at the end?
Is the shift in nature between input and output the artwork?
Do you slip or slop?
What can the science paper see that I can't? What can I see that the science might not? Where do our interpretations diverge?
What do you think you are seeing that I might not be seeing? What do you think I am seeing that you might not be seeing?
So what is my origin, the writing unit I could work with?
How to Trigger my Bodytool?
What am I researching? I am curious about splits… I mean slips.
I become curious precisely when scientists' readings and mine don't fit. What are the effects of that difference?
How can painting, computation and performance invent new forms of bodily representation before recognition?
How can artistic practice and computational instruments make slips perceptible and available for research?
How does durational drawing bend procedural system and material performance at the threshold of recognition?
