The proposal has been accepted in the coming Writing Machine Exhibition in Oct 2014. Yesterday I had a discussion with Hector, where I explain in more details about my concept on mutability and unpredictability. He uses these terms instead: unpredictability, indeterminacy and temporarily. He originally thoughts my concept relates to John's cage randomness.
One of the things that we share is the relationship between concepts/processual and visual representation. Here we both tried to avoid using the term 'visualization', and he aware the term 'translation' is also not the best term to describe the visual presentation. It is because the materiality of computational processes, perhaps, is difficult to represent in visual or even hardly fully translate. He then raise - these processual concepts might able to give a new dimension/thinking of visual. To reframe it, the question is: how to represent the system dynamics through visual representation? or it can never be able to do so? We both see the tensions there - audience understanding, visual representation, the black box of computation. He gave me lots of freedom to decide what I will ultimately select, I feel a lot of trust in between us.
But also because of this, I revisit the project again and started to look at the notion of unpredictability in computer science term. It seems hardly avoid chaos theory, but I will never able to understand due to the complexity of mathematics. Therefore, I need to have a high level understanding of the relationship between: unpredictability, determinacy, dynamics and indeterminacy.
To me, the new work is more about thinking the materiality of network, software and data, this relations are regarded as assemblages which involve both human and nonhuman agents. At one point, human can initiate an intervention, but the software itself will also automatically trigger different data traffic which is invisible to the audience.
Writeme.SpamPoem, - by showing the both the readme.spampoem and visual in parallel, audience might start unpack the parameters, values and inter/intra-action that involves in the work.
