Text, words and literature is an integral part of my practice - in the research phase as well as in the works themselves. Here is a selection from recent text-based projects.

Part i: Bild Environment

Humanity is an unpragmatic project. The mind Bilds and does not Bild. There are images we cannot see. Nature is pragmatic. It builds from foundation. It sounds like a conspiracy theory about the revenge of the true organisms thought up by a young soccer activist from Cambridge.
She doesn't know how to talk in a chat room, she is a computer forensics expert, who says “it’s only one bit difference that can make a program exploitable or a program safe”. It’s about the freedom to change the program, the freedom to modify, to study and change. She says that it doesn't matter about the time stamps, when the program was Bild, what matters is the date on which the code was last modified, when the Bild was changed. The reproducible Bild, the picture that determines an outcome, a deterministic output is a safeguard against bugs, against exploitability, against compromised versions. Is there a compromise to this. The act of building towards reproducibility as the timely goal.
We all know about the Volkswagen emission scandal. The Volkswagen cars had program software in them that lied on purpose, a code that told, that they were less polluting than they actually were. This is what we want to guard ourselves against, the software lies. The reverse engineering, the trajectory of Bilds illuminated, our history laid bare, the reassuring Bild path. We want ease, but ease is not easy. If only we had this kind of ease to be able to see the Bild path. The trajectory of Bilds. the Bild path that makes you talk in chat rooms. The idea of the reproducible Bild is in my argument about the illusion of strength. What images do we hold on to, what images continue to reproduce within us and how do we re-examine our Bilds. It’s a psychological concept. When today it is not only our objects that are being reproduced but for each new individual a reproduction of the world takes place. It is not a singular reproducibility but a systemic, cultural reproducibility. Reproducibility seems to be a prerequisite for rectification. The question is, can there be rectification without reproducibility? And what is “the rectification”? Is reproducible the same as survival? We are beginning to see the garden in a new way. My big toenails are coming off. How did they get so soft and bendable and tough? They say it can take up to eighteen months for a toenail to grow back. We become curious and our curiosity takes time. Just like a toe nail. The big frustration is that we have no time to be curious. While we are curious, other lives are versioning. The larger trees provide shade for plants and crops underneath them. The new landscape with the tall swaying elephant grass, the bioenergy crops that sequesters carbon well. What does that chatroom look like?

Unknown Speakers

What has happened over time here through the last couple of 100 years

Unknown Speaker 0:18
is that this organism has exploded. And we now take off a very large space in the in the biosphere,

Unknown Speaker 0:28
it can't just go away. It's and it can't be stopped.

Unknown Speaker 0:33
I think the internet is causing this globally speaking, it's making us think less about our particular country and more about the world is making us think more about collective global problems like global warming. How

Unknown Speaker 0:43
can we actually measure this? How can we measure the size of, of this metabolic organism

Unknown Speaker 0:51
was in Mongolia and I was in the outskirts of Mongolia, I saw this camel herder come by, and we talked to him and he he has Bitcoin. We've never had one God in one language at one government. People are diverse, because facts and circumstances and resources and situations are diverse weathers diverse world is a very diverse place. reflections of that diversity will manifest themselves in political and economic systems.

Unknown Speaker 1:21
building these types of open systems, it's about building network effects. It's about building a strong community. It's about having a strong ethos and mission.

Unknown Speaker 1:33
And and when that gets extended to voting, it gets extended to property rights, it gets extended to securitization of financial markets. That means that everybody in the world is now on the same playing

Unknown Speaker 1:43
field. Economics is not a matter of discovering laws. It's essentially a question of design.

Unknown Speaker 1:50
Yeah. I mean, that's why we're all here. We're bought into that that vision. Any any sort of questions around the viability of decentralization being this meaningful force in the world that that an axe substantial amounts of change and restructuring of power, power structures, stuff like that reallocation of value, cetera, all of those, I guess, uncertainties went away a long time ago.
