i’ve been interested in describing my practice as relations between ambience (condition/enclosure) — agency (action) – apparition (traces/aftermaths)
Ambiences
as in the environmental conditions of the world; feeling before understanding / feeling as understanding; ambience as material & process; the invisible logic and condition that we move through / perceive (or fail to); pre-narrative fragments, transparencies, the world coming unto us unannounced
Agencies
as in a capacity to act, misbehave, be redirected; the distributed/networked/infrastructural forms of agency and belief that exist across system / decentering agency, exploring autonomous components and the emergence that might arise form agency; a polyphonic form of meaning-making; as in misdirection, surprise, subversion, deception, scamming; lagging/glitching/leaking/clicking/reading; as in my density
Apparitions
traces, afterimages, ghosts, echoes, and discards of our systems; the phenomena that comes from the system exploring itself; how the system becomes legible to itself; as in consequence after consequence; glitches, illegibility, cached memory; ritual, residue, the spiritual; uncanny, transcendent, holy, angelic things
