We view him stretched out on his bed, the source of a silent spiral of cigarette smoke, like a patient, tidy corpse-in-waiting, he is not just himself, or some nameless nobody. He is the distilled essence of solitary collaboration, suspended between a somnambulant calm and self-destructive dedication. Without emotion nothing matters. Loving care is a condition that cannot be recreated, though some have tried, only to discover that graceful aging is more difficult to duplicate than the look of new and improved. --- Twice upon a time Pe-un picior de plai Pe-o gura de rai Beyond the looking glass from within the passing of time Stepped the fortune teller.

'I created the alphabet. Now hear my tale' And she spoke alone in all the world ... [Phylotic BodyScapes | Entheogenic Axioms : Poly-Scalar Heterotopic Botany "All possible branches are real" (Borges, J.L. The Garden of Forking Paths) Gardens were always optimistic reflections of the world, the liminal spaces between the known and unknown, matter and aether. Foucault describes gardens as the oldest form of heterotopias, a microcosm of species, the smallest parcel of the world in its totality: "The heterotopia is capable of juxtaposing in a single real place several spaces, several sites that are in themselves incompatible ... the oldest example of these heterotopias that take the form of contradictory sites is the garden." Shifting away from millennia old, rigid and static instrumentalities of control on the one side and fictional representational effects on the other, Phylotic is a computational system employing dynamically relational assemblages for analysis, synthesis and cataloguing of regional folkloric and cultural artifacts' phenotypes into a library of seeds or DNA, that may be grown, mutated and hybridized upon infinitely variable topographies, transcending temporal, spatial, geographical and disciplinary boundaries, osmotically bleeding the real and virtual within each other, as a heteroglossic yet glabrous continuum. Although the system is open ended, being suitable for biomimetics and cultural mimetics, within the current context we shall elucidate the latter, with a focus on pertinent Balkan folklore and its myriad manifestations and potentialities for fashion/bodyscapes design. Employing processes of intensive genetic computation, distributed authorship and human/non-human agents in material/design praxis we adopt a syncretic methodology for reconciling and coalescing the disparate, even opposing, cultural traditions and regional sentiments of Balkan, germinating its multifarious seeds into a heterotopic multiverse of intricately entangled, real and irreal gardens patterned as phantasmagorical bodyscapes. Through the mediation of a custom library of genetic algorithms, the system educes the hypostases, or DNA's from divergent regional artifacts' phenotypes, populating a genetic library of seeds for the incubation of novel garden types -- poly-scalar heterotopias. As opposed to individuations as subject or form, design is understood as genetic inscription. The parallel reality of the invisible code is a common ground for multiple actualizations, exploding design beyond the edges of human imagination, into a nomadic and unstable topology traversing spirals polyphonically within the plasticity of incandescent meanings and coruscating myriads, as an infinite abacus of fugue matrices, clarity and autopoietic complexity. "When the sign loses its meaning, when it loses all possible meanings, then it becomes pure sign, naked sign, abstract sign, it enters deeper still into calculation, into mathematics, into money, (...) the number becomes a letter, the letter itself is a symbol, the information, the software undifferentiates itself, as if it were slowly entering its own faculty, its own nakedness" (Serres, Michel. Genesis) In Phylotic, the human body becomes the most intimate heterotopic space, the breathing landscape onto which the computational system grows elaborate and sensuous bodyscapes/gardens. The concept of bodyscapes emphasizes our approach to the human body as a breathing, livingscape and delineates our move away from the desacralized democratic vision of clothing as static, impersonal wearables towards a deeply symbiotic, relational one of "living with and being lived". Simultaneously we abandon the concept of clothes as cut and sewn, modular assemblages and adopt a bottom-up, intricate, non-linear, botanical view--clothes as grown and evolving bodyscapes. The skin becomes the garden; the human body, an intimate participant in the act of creation. No longer does one choose a garment from a limited assortment of sizes and styles limited to a designer's imagination. Extending the complexity and infinite variability of the human body, Phylotic bodyscapes themselves, are infinitely variable and complex, deeply personal, evolving structures in space. Having mentioned the concept of bodyscapes, we introduce the concept of morphological seeds/DNA. Phylotic bodyscapes are grown by computationally germinating cultural, biological and synthesized morphological seeds. Morphological seeds/DNA are the structural, textural, and relational dynamics found in living organisms and cultural artifacts, eg. a lizard's skin, an intricate lace, a romanesco cauliflower, a leaf, one's own skin. Phylotic's computational algorithms analyze, educe and catalog a pattern's hypostasis or seed, subsequently employing genetic algorithms for hybridizing and mutating an assemblage of seeds, onto infinitely variable, poly-scalar topographies, from molecular to human to architectural scale. While adopting the non-linearity of natural processes, Phylotic does not replicate their form in silico. It does not copy the form of a sunflower but employs the genetic decisions and accidents that led to the creation of a sunflower. (Phylotic puts the garden into the machine.) One may, for instance, extract the morphological DNA from the delicate phenotype of a centuries old lace from Pag, Croatia, mutate it with a sensual Romanian 'marama' and evolve it into a phantasmagorical bodyscape on the topology of one's body, in whole or in part. Or perhaps, one prefers the deeply intricate pattern of a lizard's skin hybridized with the texture of one's own skin. Conversely, the system may extend persistency to ephemeral bio-states, eg. foam, procreating the fleeting morphological impulses into soft, tangible, whispering, membranic bodyscapes. The possibilities are endless and infinitely tempting. Phylotic presents an invitation to rediscover the pleasure of gesture, the spirit of curiosity, the notion of intimacy and sharing. It embraces the idea of clothing as evolution and harmony with life, human body and environment, away from novelty for novelty's sake, towards an unpredictable yet dialogical, affective, continuos state of becoming. The human body is thrilling. Phylotic's bodyscapes embody the beauty of life -- joie de vivre, making clothing as thrilling as the body, coming alive with it, overflowing in its vitality. It represents a novel approach in design, which dispels the methodologies of control, introducing us to new kinds of propositions and multiplex actualizations, exploding creativity beyond the edges of human imagination, towards the concept of clothes as responsive, autopoetic bodyscapes. Phylotic embraces modern manufacturing methodologies, yet, it simultaneously subverts the parsimoniousness of mass production, transporting us to a time when clothes, and indeed everything was made "just for us", a time when our relationship to the things in our lives was deeply personal and affective. Phylotic reasserts the human body as the most striking and obvious illustration of our presence. It reminds us that our bodies are the borders of our understanding. That the first things which belong to us are those that are actually physically a part of us--our eyes, our fingers. And in doing so, it intimates the path across the solipsistic gulf. Where when one arrives, one knows that the future has joined with the past to make a circle ... outside time. "When I'm alone, I want you to enter inside me, I wish to wear you. Dissolved and integrated, we are exploded into a nomadic, unstable topology of ceramic ribbons and microfluidic channels, of myriad phosphorescent gleams, of the mysterious encounters, in indivisible dreams." A kiss from paradise From neznanie to sacred knowledge From childhood 2 conscious childhood Sometimes ... reality is too complex for oral communication But legend embodies it in a form which enables it to spread ... all over the world. - ORDNUNG \+\ DISZIPLIN | | open handz. klosz handz - pe plan mondial || ||9|| [p-un_kT-pr_o-T?k_oL] Ø f Ø Ø Ø 3 || herausgegeben vøm !nternat!onalen !nst!tut f:ur ordnung |+| d!sz!pl!n : / / www.tagueulebabacloanta.tm _______________________________________________ Nettime-ro mailing list Nettime-ro@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-ro --> arhiva: http://amsterdam.nettime.org/
