The Algorithmic Self

A two-way reciprocal dialogue with myself, my embedded self, my dopple self, my mediated self… MACHINE – Mechanical media sculpture, automated, algorithmic, generative… BRAIN – The intelligence of the CTL Mechanism, the algorithmic design, housing the CLOCK that tracks time and the precision of the ever-present-present… As a composer who was once immersed in the intricacies of high-caliber awareness to frequencies and rhythmic variations, I have turned my attention to all the media and their mechanisms, spectral peculiarities, waveforms, vibrations, and algorithmic constructions… It’s a “love story” about addiction + immersion in the third space (and beyond): the dissolution of the self into the amorphous + kinetic interplay cybernetics and the human-machine relationship… The MODALITY Of the Reading: A) catapults, endlessly, immersion, turbulence, phantasmagoric, saturation, engorged B) alchemical, algorithmic, cybernated, fiction, hypnotize, plunge, impossible…
