2024. This project concluded (until the launch of the LISA observatory https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/LISA_(missione_spaziale) at the first Gravitational Wave Observatory for laser interferometry, EGO/VIRGO European Gravitational Observatory/, Pisa, Italy.
Performances of co-presence with the gravitational waves detected by the observatory. Co-presence of the reflexive Sense production with the undecidable non-reflexive, Non-sensical.
The works (non-work) and exercises, in this discontinuous process, are a set (con-juction / disjunction), pro-active and passive (beyond their particular or 'universal' situations and their paradox), of –artistic research– in an open project, out-Of itself and its objects, tra(n)sprojectual.
–Open: as much by the encounter of the Sense production with the external Nonsense (with-out sense), those -bio or -entitarian factors that through different phenomena influences or affects directly the works, direct discontinuity (linear: affects or cuts the representation directly).
Or by a free–open project (or –even– closed / open to its closure) to what happens (events) or could succeed or leave - get-out the Sense from 'other' nonsensical space-time –Indirectly [disjunction / Struction–Unistruction (J-L. Nancy – A. Barrau) / multiversal] in the ‘open-present’ or wide (airy) future.
Indirect discontinuity (non-linear), apart and exempting our ephemeral –transitive– present (including our historicist past –outside from our chronicity, fact or logos–). What does not take place directly in the project and its forms or non-formal consciousness, but exists indifferently (undifferánce) and develops outside of those and their apprehensible perceptibility or their agency and in-vocation. That Other exterior what Is, –Being– (outside of the representation and symbolism, which does not correspond (Unbound – non-correlative) to the symbolic void expiation or to the experiential-living discontinuity. The unknown –beyond the particular survival impulse, mortality, extinction or collapse– and which is co-present to the anthropic. It is, without being (or dependent on being) de-monstrable (today / or because its belonging to another multiversal entity or quantum dimensions –strings–). Exists, There is (or co-exists) without being subject to the sensible or sensical and its projection (or to the anthropic principle as uni-versal singular-ity). Beyond its attraction or formal and (um-formal) aesthetic purpose, further its temporary achievement or artistic / aesthetic show-proof /de-monstration and the indefinition of the particular or universal Sense Infinite deferral.
An open project –Free–, not only ongoing, coparticipative or suprasubjetive, but it opens from the immanent Sense to the Nonsense co-presence; apart from the fact that the Other Non-sense founds –to or –with us, or is unattainable. What here-there is, 'indemonstrable' or undetectable, is pure co-presence (co-absent, co-absence).
The Truth | The principle of 'uncertainty', relative non-speculative (no end). Post-observational physics (Gravitational), not meta-physical or meta-projectual. Co-presence of what Is –or will be (strato-Itself, -out and here-) and it is up to us.
On the material-time images over Negatives and Positives, taken in contact with the Hubble Space Telescope –HST– control-data device, is advanced to a con-'tact' with that Other which (interpolated even by light-energy or its perceptible absence) Res-ide, and Pro-cedes to the margin of our interpretation and affection. –Exists and it Is out of our coding, –There Is, be off, outside the (act)-possible representation, it does not have to stay in only one –there or –here to Be(ing): Co(presence)-Real. Its influence (non 'influx'), is indescribable -in(e)vocable (undecidable) today in praxis, but anticipates from the Real the discontinuity of the existent and its flow (of its possible origin of entities –space-time / matter, energy– and their situation or destination).
What is 'pointed'/signalized from the co-presence or co-existence –in a deferred/delay present to the reflex– with the Op-device (and auratic) of the James Webb Space Telescope, JWST: It is to its launch in the future, its movement towards that Other in outer space-time and its overflow (independent of the Species or the Architectural Sense), where to work with the Dark (Status of unobservable entities)or the unattainable (by now?), of indefinite times (not only continuous time, but in curvature, folded, or the unknown nature of its dimension 'before' its origin and advance), multi-time, a-time or exo-chronomorphic. Not just the trans-course or reflexive transimmanence, but the possibility of (non-transcendental) tra(n)sformation; Mutation with the unknown and what will be, with the discontinuous.
What Is – without appearing or being postponed– co-present in LIGO and EGO/VIRGO and our s-tance outside the register. The other cut or torsion of the Gravitational-Waves (or sources) that twist the space-time altering the dimensions, independent to our fact(o) or the aesthetic aspiration / Will. What we do not do, nor do we really seek, free without judgment, form or symbol; influencing the readynatural beyond our configurative discontinuity, of the logos, or of the uni-versal 'al(l)readymade' and of the unitary existential notion or its passage.
The question (trough-out the Heteroversal or multiversal) is the possible reactivation of the sense definitively open, from (the cut-interval of) its imaginal discontinuity to the multiphase nature of the general discontinuity. Free / open–outside of the heterotopic (order / deferral) com-position from a configurative or measurable space-format and oblivious to the heterochronic in a (particular / uni-versal) concentration of lived or suspended time (projection).
The question of what Is (Are) –with and without reflex, with/out anthropic (site-stage) con[s]truction or ab-senting (symbolic void) itself– and its re-vival (?) [With(out) the ex-tense –previous, liminal and future– to the Being and his solo Sense ‘eternal return’ or echo].
The artistic discontinuity would not just occur in «a work that devours itself » (Which would demonstrate, in a linear and tautological way –configurative discontinuity–, a subjective intentionality of meta-aesthetic 'liberation', the resourcefulness of the function / non-function of symbolic auto-nomy), but mainly immerses / emerges (in & out) in the flow of co-presence: Immanence of the (Force / Free) Sense –and its subsequent subjective transimmanence (being cut or interval)– with the entities (given or to be) of the Undecidable Nonsense; starting from the general Discontinuity –direct and indirect– of the Real.
