about

Inversion is a dance/installation, a collaboration with the dancer/choreographer Regina van Berkel that explores the topic of Nanotechnology through a poetic text, a musical score, the "A Hybrid Invention Generator"-like system functioning in an auto-generative mode, two linear videotapes, a set of sculptural elements, and variable lighting. The hour long work was choreographed in relation to the musical score. All images, the lights and dance fall in perfect counterpoint with the music.

Inversion
Text by Bill Seaman

Recombinant Poetics /
At the center of this the same idea that Gödel had used / No essential distinction between "numbers" and operations on numbers / Mathematical point of view / They are all alike functioning as symbols / N-scale devices - fabricated operative physical logic / Positionings of atoms, states of photon spin, the universal machine / Given , sufficient information, symbolic operations, relevant physical entities or processes — Altering their structure / Physical code system, all matter recombinant / The appropriate solution environment / Specific material source, complex dynamic / Atomic scale processes and structures / N-scale devices — Fabricated / Navigating through an elemental nature / Oversee, report, respond, fabricate / Alter and recombine / Paradox / Small finite space opening inwardly onto the infinite / Each machine, encoded, black box model — Input + functionality = output / Conjunction codes, bridging, code architectures / Generating hybrid machines / Nano universal, Quantum universal, bridged, Matter and energy processes are one / Autonomous , Recombinant bodies / Code vehicles / Configurations / Flowing machinic assembly / A timed set of chemical codes / n-tech bio-synthetic splice entities / Released / Crystaline responsive fabric, bio-machinic spine / Extended sensing / Specific alteration / Tightly coiled threads / Auto-assembling, physical code vehicles, propelling a machinic genetics / Generative folds / Hybrid field architectures / Machinic sensuality / Auto-assembling / Hybrid mechanisms / Accessed as physical code / The n-level machine forms a meta level / Machinic layers / In a flow / Domain levels traversed — inter-operative / Highly specific light intervals / The living code / Inhabited / Symbiotically salient / Light code passages / Illusive bridging / The coded action of folding, folds / Quantum mechanism / Elusive logic / Actual and e-phany physics co-extensive / Inhabited / Made salient / Light code passages / Illusive bridging / Relative levels / A cascading continuum, of descending steps sweeps downward and inward Ad infinitum / The n-machine is conceived.../ Potentially intersected / Seeded / Synapse distances / Swiftly traversed / Subtle domain of the invasive / Extended coupled motioning / Mind / Becomes expansive / Layering / Synchronous / Infinities / Technological Code horizon / Turning the n-code pun / Spiraling / Kinking / An ultra-precise chemicaldetermination / Time slips across the vicinities of prediction / Actuating Field/fold proximities / Triggering domino like neighboring relations / The arch-code arrives / Specific granularity, machinic n-space / Light performs the handshake / Sentient frame — Entered, augmented and inverted / Auto-assembly devices / A holding pattern / A vibration architecture / A pulse-constant zone / Flux-bodies / Temporary zones of inversion / Moving / A solution state / Cohesive molecular aggregate / Electro-biochemical code flows / Fine lines — the ever decreasing interval apparatus / The chemical triggers / Set in electro-bio-machinic-motion / Folding / Precise / Time-based / Repulsion and bonding architectures / Emerging / Bridging / Encoded / Structural fabrication / Self-assembling construction engines / Engendered / Exponentially multiplied / Not without their gravity / Relative internal forces / Flowing heat motion / The threshold of mutation / Energy states / Wreaking havoc / Succinctly ordered domain / Artifacts and/or residue / Washed away / Recombine / Unknown consequences / N-border domains / Built and breached / The bounds / Subject to spillage / Unexpected particle spin behaviors / Bio-architectural spines / Grown / Quantum cyphers meticulously spun / Viral-mathematical cypher movements give the physical n-code a means to defend itself against itself / Informed territories — n-dimensional intersections / A precise rule-based landscape — the sea of seas / Every atom / In the balance / Of these living / Machine architectures / The folding machine / Actuated / The body falls / In relation / To the equation / And also folds / Granularity / Lived assembly / Operations illusive / Quantification disrupts / Granularity / Multi-valent flows / Obscuring the ranges and terrains / Oblique certainty / N-procedural set / Potentially volatile / Self-assembly process / Flow / Onward / Against human intervention / Utilizing / All relevant solutions and material sources / Zones of inversion / The lived assembly / Bio-physical conveyances function / Within the structure of the senses / Emotion is generated / At the inception / Invasive uncertainty / Autonomous activity / N-processes / Silently Slip / Within the detail / Electro-chemical thought procedures / A set of contexts / Made manifest / In the approximate space of the original context / A bio-intervention / Displacement / Internalized and internal / Inside and outside / Zones of inversion / The human genome altered / Bio-folding mechanisms / Twisting and reconfiguring the generative code / Reformulate the n-machinic body / Every structure has an internal balance / That can be shifted / Spatial elemental machinic code / Chemically orchestrates a chosen physical domain / Everything is functioning / Code-relevant / Operative / Recombinant / Rule-based / N-logic / N-virtual space skitters off in n dimensions / The consensual domain / Layered structural coupling / Appearances / Alternate parallel domains / Layered structural coupling / Appearances / Authored / These alternate parallel domains / The physical stands to be shifted / Restructured / Compound code / Physical logics / Layered patterns / Systematically activated / The new logic of nature / Dance of this patterning / Precision observation / Articulating new spatial flow / And stoppages Molecular body of the dance / Spins / Periodicity / Moving / Conveying / Forming temporary bonds / Across code levels / The nature of nature turned inside-out /The distance / This n-machinic layer / Resists / The clumsy granularity / Of touch / Each level / Accessed / Code-veil / Circulating code-set / Moving procedurally / Up and down through the levels / Amino acid string one with the dance / Kinking / Curling around / Twisting / Crimping / Folding back, in upon itself / Highly coded / Hybridcode couplings / bio-machinic brought to bare / Electro-chemical processes / Definitive functionalities / One structurally coupled across domains / Expansive Autopoeisis / Code veils / Witnessed / Distance of scale / Structurally coupled / Observer / Outside and inside / Temporary zones / Physical code passages move / The solution enables a precise controlled folding / The chemical dance of definition. / Shape / Of the compound fold / Determined / Precise / Timed / Released / Chemical ordering / Different amino acids / Distributed / Along the chain of process orders / An engendered / Controlled collapse / Forms and patterns / Recombinant genomic mesh /
