The moiré — as a spacing operation of grids laid upon one another — is not the same as Deleuze and Guattari’s smooth space emerging or escaping from the limits of striation, nor is it the same as the holey space that connects the striated and smooth via declination or vortical movement. And yet its watered silk still offers us a hydraulic model to perceive, but only when we are in movement. When standing still the traces of the moiré’s interference pattern remain as afterimages, barely perceptible — though it has only come to life in the first place once we have as well: in movement (cf. the discontinuity of Massumi’s ‘movement-vision’??). Rippling, shimmering: as we move with these grids our relation unfolds to suggest previously unseen contours and trajectories lying dormant within the metric machinery of these information ecologies.

“Ánimas explore the interior dimensions of mind and soul in the embodied physicality of space. In Spanish the word anima means soul; its root ane means to breath.
Each sculpture has three kinds of inter-dimensional space that all occupy the same spatial coordinates: the concrete, volumetric space of the screens; the pictorial/volumetric space of the images produced by the paint on the screens; and the optical interference generated between the screen grids when two or more planes overlap (without coinciding), an optically real, but tactically non-existent space.”

walking to school i saw a monarch butterfly appear out of nowhere. awkward flight — surfacevolumesurfacevolume — it began to venture out over a major four-lane artery. halfway over the turbulence was too much and it flew crazily all over the place before pulling a 180, executing a neat glide back to my side of the road, and landing on flower, orange on purple. nice ride, dude.

articulations
most insects have tiny hairs on their antennae that help serve to empirically understand their external environments. to the eye, these appear as a sort of fuzziness.
although each of these hairs has a specific coordinate in space and time relative to one another, each detecting perturbations in a particular type of stimulus, they function as a sensory whole. the skin itself has multiplied, increased its surface area by orders of magnitude. and yet each hair retains a singularity within this plurality. what one comes to know, empirically, another has already forgotten.
call this fuzziness a strategy: an attempt towards weak localization (political) or suggestive site-specificity (aesthetic). if i told you this status update comes from fanshawe park road, london and/or surfside, florida, would this be considered an example of the latter?
how do we make the tiny hairs on the back of our necks bristle?
if you had a small enough camera, these tiny insect hairs might appear to the lens as a moiré pattern … … …

remix quick the triple dip clipped gaze
snip snip grays to scaled grid layer haze,
moiré maze, fresh hip skills for days
and check that techniqued fractal glaze
just sideways, skinned end of days

see, i sense a snake
wiry and lithe
unraveling at every
