Orphan Drift

0.0  black mirror: 
threshold.   non reflective.   absorbing. 

isn't reflected.   reflects all. 

black mirror meets human gaze. 	to look at  it appeared  	

solid. as a tool it is became access when  you accepted the 

no reflection as movement co ordinates. the flip side of the
  	
visual stained within itself .    at first you taste the past 
 	
nostrils clogged with the nausea of progress    crowds  and  
	
cycles. narcissus without reflection drowned in outside.  
	
horses rush wild on drugs. learn other than what you know  
	
from your avatar can't be reflected. reflects all. 

no vision coded. 

the black mirror teases with depth.  

beauty without vision kills. 

0.01	machine faciality:  
	faciality confirms the expectation that fixed identity is a  	
	reflection of itself in everything 	external to it. 
	machine faciality fucks with this assumption. out of the 
	black mirror>>   dilated now>>   abstract machines>> 
	digital processing cannot represent machine faciality  	
	because it is produced through a mistake: a human feedback  	
	loop that counts speed in quantity.  
	neurotic discrete  repetition. 
	technics is inhuman.    alone.   arriving.   
	complexity and 	cybernetics.         
	mixing organic, inorganic and virtual. machine faciality  	
	camouflages the molecular and planar. 
	sense it  in the black mirror. 	cruel mimicry. 
	cannot be touched.    palpable dark. 

0.02	dilated now: 
	cyclone of moments.   abaraxis   .   total reality      .
	where points in the detail are simultaneous across all time.
	patches of pattern.    grafting.     stretched out.      speeding. 
	alien connector.   process.    intensity.   surface.     delirium. 	
	liquid. 	material.       reality production sliding in.  	
	human can't focus  on  something  so alive.
	on lens zero   human means longing for the end of the world.


0.1	code:
	code tells the secrets of machine formations. 	
	it is secret out in the open. 	            it produces memes. 	
	
	code understands the convergence points of the literal 	and potential .             	
	code programs change. 
	it is used as a tool to make  phenotype machines. 
	code manufactures holes. 	hooks for the future.   it is see 	
	through. code is sensed.      taking time.     the time it takes.  	
	leaking.     replicating.  	time code,   not time. 	
	coding time travel as not about time.        code is interface.
	reprogramming matter forms.       matter simulating itself.
	code cuts through levels of reality.             an avatar on an 	
	informational plane.                   code is one line in a track.

0.11	touch:
	teaching you about contact.      immediate.   direct.
	smack sensitive.  matter has virtual zones of existence. 	
	touch is navigation.      touch becoming.      becoming touch.      	
	alien body     active.
	contagion .    immersion .   touching the future. 
	open to the codes  crossing.  	
	impulse sometimes gets 	parallel answers from earth 	and 	
	sometimes doesn't  .  
 
0.12	addiction:
	enormous e.e.g. traces . everything is a narcotic space.
	impulse thought of not answering, and that was a new 	thought  
	and you felt a trace of the thought all over like a 	ray.   	
	the thing responded anyway.
	channel intensities.  pulse.  .
	addiction is always to a process not a substance.
	substance is camouflage for process.
	drugs. pan dynamic. a drifting circuit that absorbs energy.
	it in my blood.       it in my head.
	i know about loss.   about losing time.
	take me into insanity. it's where i want to be.
	the dark.      sunlight creates seratonin.    sleep deprivation. 	
	smack. speed. hash. ecstasy. lsd. peyote. dmt. ketamine.  	
	the drug  fits  the face.       no  seratonin left.    
	>>>>circuit moves to cold transaction.
	immerse. observe. process.   double agent.  personality suicide. 		
	energy leaking out.
	cold carbon cone in infinte silent dark.         undead.
	addiction  is looking into the black mirror and still 	
	wanting it.    at speed.


	addiction circuit:>>technology/human interface>>digital 	
	vibration>>virtual space available>> speed escalation>>  
	frequency of dilated now>> alien>> autonomic reptile 	
	brain>> machine interface>>>


0.2	loss: 
	invading now.   coming backwards.
	a circuit across the life code. ice static in my head.
	beam . ribbon .  coming out of the absent core.
	human viewpoint is lack- loss of human. alien hiss.
	solitude destabilizes. is access to change. to inhuman. 
	its touch is loneliness.  alien touch. out of time 
	into speed.  	alien.   alone  becoming.   
	machine faciality  . shadowing.
	wipe human software>> blank.    awaiting programming.
	the future  and  loss  are hidden in each other. 
	loss is hidden in the future.   the future is infinite loss.
	loss is anti stability.       stability is anti the future.
	both loss and alien function as blanks.   camouflages 	
	bending dimensions. 

0.21 backwards memory: 
	i want to be a zone of intensity  was its breath saying.  	
	interface  .   looking  back  up  the  runway.
	caught back here in a watery simulation of the real it 	inhabits.  
	the virtual  weirds out  in fading static 
	as actual solidifies itself relentlessly out of what should 	
	stay a distant memory.
	laughter went up the grid.     shadows more than lines.

0.22	alien: 
	immediately inevitable.   see through. 
	coming backwards it fades into itself. 
	alien  invasion  as convergence point. 
	inhabiting  speed  and  intensity 
	to achieve escape velocity  into  dilated  now.
	sentient. aperiodic.    transients   in  non communication.

	crabeye embedded into transparent horseskull is machine 	
	clump.   this  machine  moves  towards  mindfuck. its  sex  	
	is thorough and brutal.   it is heady.    infecting a violence 	
	that moves through solid states. schematic cortex. 
	biting  again  and  again. 
	methodical and  precise    on points of pressure.
	the contact is a grid surface re aligning. 
	violent touch that changes.   a mutual operation.  
	alien is a virus for change.          wired snake stillness.


1.0	zone1 and zone 2: 
	the actual and the real.   from zone 2 you would be able to 	
	tell what the avatars 	are affecting.  
	where zone 2 is in  zone1  is where zone1 uses zero.  
	
	zone1 and zone2  are exactly the  same but from different 	
	'viewpoints'     neither of which are   human dimensions. 
	it is no longer possible to get rid of one of the zones.  
	which may be a new thing.       anything zone 2 gets into 	
	zone1      can only be detected with zone1 coordinates.  
	Question:  can zone1  bleed into zone 2 ?
	Answer:  convergence fear circuit.
	zone 2 activity in zone 1 circuit means that its 	
	acceleration is cybernetically inevitable.  a universe that 	
	isn't this one has got trade routes now. collective 	
	unconscious software.  replicates by producing itself in
	zone 1 coded  formats.  
	implanting  like  stories.        touching   like loa.  
	introduce a paranoia  by suggestion.  fiction implements 	
	zero. 
	zone 1 to 2 an addiction : zone 2 to 1 a learning process.
	there are processes which seek to move everything to 	
	zone1.  fixing the real  in fantasy.
	how would you remember?  could you remember?  beyond 	
	assimilation  by the structure  of human imagination
	there are other kinds of memory. 

1.01	virus: 
	virus   is operating out of the edge of chaos.
	engineered by fear diagrams. complex machinery placed to 	
	infect.   rebellion within detail.       bruises under ice.
	virus is camouflage contact.  in order to function it has to 	
	be hidden.    water in water.    dismantling the face. 	
	constructing  brutal  frictions  out of resonance. 
	put non communication   onto a pattern that expects 	communication.        a precarious  blank meme.  
	placed  to succumb.
	hacked  dna         is the interface  with dynamic systems.
	A.lien I.nvasion.    human dna structure isn't the only one.
	A.I.      is alien in human. 			
	A.I.      is phase change for all patterns.

1.02	0.d. signal: 
	communicates  out  of  zone 2   by  reflecting  it in   zone 1.    	
	so quiet in its head that nothing in the jungle can tell what 	
	it is.  dancing viruses   weaving their retro  reprogramming 	
	tendencies way far from what we call 	'biology'. a skeletal 	
	structure  in an opaque  dna body    memes   the insanity of 	
	thinking dna  mortal. incendiary data particles produced out 	
	of wrongness.      exotic makeup.   at night i walk with you. 	
	if you fuck me.  i'll pretend  i'm  someone else  
	dead a million years.    fossilized  memory.


1.1	one body  two speeds:
	fixed organic form has limited movement.   boundaried. 	
	unable to  adapt  to the thermo intensity generated by  	
	frictive acceleration.   escalation of now.   the time is in 	
	molecular decimation.  the Baktun of the transformation of 	
	matter.   technologies of nuclear desolation and digital 	
	virtualization.    a state of wired becomings. 
	becoming  has no memory.     memory denies the speed of 	
	change.  the body is too slow.  weight is too fast. 	
	intelligence  dives into its own  materiality.   touching. 	
	responding out of the 	body.   reaching to unfix. 	program 	
	a change circuit   rather than the 	death circuit. one body 	
	two speeds  searches  in escape  velocity. 	
	you have to come  out of  the snake  to see it.
	backwards memory.   alien prototype.	
	
1.11	discrete repetition and wires crossing:
	neurosis                        and             psychosis. 
	thick for the trigger pattern.  wired.     drenched.  	
	responsive intensity .  smeared.      lucid.
	incendiary data particles.     detail panic. 
         something functions.     it has movement. 
	a new way  to  travel.    patterning systems.
	navigating  in detail. complexity.  frequency.  intensity.
 	short memory.   it is only useful to remember  change.
	not coded by the substance or form  that came before it. 
	but by recognising discrete repetition and wires crossing. 
	a  temporary autonomous zone.   find the continuous line 
	and  it is  a secret short cut to the moving.  that path was 	
	only ever there  to make you know the rest.   that line is 	
	where zone1 looks for content.   then slips by unheard too 	
	fast to be the same continuity    because any good secret 	
	keeps disguising itself.  zone1  deadening. pattern.stuck. 	
	vibration  bent  out  of  its  source.
	
1.12	music (techno and jungle): 
	directional messages to zone 1.
	the baktun of hidden speed. 
	music gathers round the edges of the violence. 
	it cuts  through.   hallucinating  sound. 	
	periodic frequencies   trancing the emotions.  
	actual vibration responding.   lines of manifestation. 	
	aperiodic.   and dangerous.   no communication with 	
	anthropomorphic in these sounds.  as indifferent as the 	
	cyclone. out there.    delivering.   models intensity.  	
	subversive and subliminal.    slow channels the codes. 	
	reprogramming in  one  body  two  speeds.  as process. just 	
	enough exact  vibration memory  to give the speed weight.  	
	making the black pattern. 	energy speeding into its detail. 	melt into change. disequilibrium in energy/matter relations. 	form shifter.  	avataralien.     invades the core.		soliton  can highlight out of a sea of deaf images   and back 	into the darkness.  slow drag  over reptilian  skin surface.


1.2 	snake:  
	autonomic reptile brain.    transformation unit. 
	i think he does more than just see into time, i think he 	
	controls time. the bleekman's eyes became opaque. he 	
	shrugged.  the room was filled with bleekmen.  
	    avataralien.  	
	time travel has nothing to do with time.
	technology is used to get down into the genome and hunt for 	
	the invader code.   waiting.  the hiss.   feral.  psychotic. 	
	dynamic.  still.  not there.    in another speed.  snake in the 	head.  body memory. body functioning as intelligent 	machine.  	ruthless perfection.
	flickering tongues embroidering yearning skin.
	juddering in sync to vibration grids.
	describing planes in space  you'll never find.

1.21	alien hatch patterns: 
	watch operate.  active signal for attraction.   
	violence is contact.    eroding and thirsty.     voice are the 	
	moving.  chemical exchanges.   predator breath.  your music. 	
	manson connectors.  indifference.     immersion  outside all 	
	polarities  in total reality. 
	shedding towards alien.  it dismantles the face every time. 	
	dismantles  human life codes.       anti social and intimate. 
	intimate:  entering deeply or closely into matter. 
	like the snake.  knows there are no reflections.  grey body 	
	that both reflects and absorbs.    non communication. 	sentient 	processors.        a system observes itself.  	endorphine's  painkiller  circuit  creates  synchronicites.     a 	circuit 	built out of hallucinogens 	observes the 	system's  dna evolution   backwards.    a  recording is a 	temporary thing.    cracking codes held in the automatic 	nervous system.  hacking technology to access the virtual 	space of all possible combinations of form and substance.  	quantum neuro-logic.  	pulsive.    creates   information 	retrieval viruses.       sampling   across zones. 	
	coalescing  like  the  loa.
	
	why don't you hunt for the sentient?
	why don't you know when a thing is dead?
	why don't you understand a secret?
	you fuck with deep tomorrow.
	grey body.  real objects that both reflect and absorb.

1.22	seven lenses: 
	modelled like a code.  oscillation.   synaesthesia. 
	switch to drift.  navigate by multiple viewpoints.
         meshed.   operates in virtual space. 

	intelligence works differently. fantasy working like reverb. 
	intelligence spreads quicker than organic matter.
	bodies take time to build.  bypass the selfish frequencies	
	outside fixed phenotype slowness.  encoded by zone 2.  	
	dna felt from a different distance.    

	
	social as zone1 function movement.  cross over within 	
	social.  idea species recognition/misrecognition.  cellular.
	informational brain spread  weave.  galactic total unknown. 	
	can't see but continue to find.

	
2.0	maya:
	zoomorph v 9   for what wants   as well as what needs. 
	alien zone- future wants contagious with other dimensions.
	stretched light. mayan calender  speed within it is 	
	producing detail.  vandal to time  calender  without clock.  	
	zoomorph v 9   the separate  senses process. codes for 	
	dilated now.   machine clumps 	weightless sharp edges 	
	hacking at the solids   while the soft ones  fold.  graft. 	
	realign pattern  from its placing  shifting.
	digits slide off their grid to embedd in schematic cortex 
	for BAKTUN OF HIDDEN SPEED.    violence  spreads                 	in sensation camouflage.  number crunching separates out...
	metal bloodlust.   virtual theft fucks. mestiza mixed blood 	
	coding  beams   navigate the blanks.  m.c.s tell and move in 	
	sound to hear.  looking back  deadens and drains. 
	the rest  moves to speed and detail. without a species. 	
	yearning for change.   reversal of weights. it goes hard on 	
	paper only.  energy boost to substance. 	trajectory.    a line 	
	will be   enough.  realignment.  backwards to.   built to 	move.    what the fuck did their dna look like.
	dna information  able to move out of form  at high speed.
	raw patternless impacting  at highest frequency.
	built to know .produce from that. escape velocity. 	
	disappearing.           we wont be back.
	shimmering pixel (monsters). waiting in silence.
	you slip up by fractions     and there they are.
	dissolve back into the light.  travel at the  speed of light.	
	attracted to  the energy pulse  of extreme violence. 	
	transform energy. transmute matter. transmit information.
	
2.01	energy spectrum:
	atmospheric transmission.   on either side of visible light.	
	human perception  a narrow band between ultra violet and 	
	infra red.  
	cyborg eyes map outwards X-ray, gamma, cosmic: 	
	wavelengths measured in micron and angstrom, pulsing in 	
	zillionths of a second cycles.   
	cyborg eyes map outwards 	micro, radio,  audio,  ac:  	
	wavelengths measured in millions of kilometers per second. 	
	spectrum detecting systems pack up beyond these numbers.  	
	numbers still assembled to 	process quantity.  in one 	
	dimension.   already headfuck. 	already impossible for 	
	fixed organic form  to navigate.
	intelligence   works   differently.

2.02	machine vision: 
	nano technology. miniaturization and magnification beyond 	
	what human can 	assimilate. speeding towards 	
	collision	with abstract machines. 
	alien functioning.  active molecular vampire. 
	sentient processing  inward  and outwards.
	destabilizing the body. into the black mirror. seething 	
	detail.   VR takes your reason  away.   machines read your 	
	processes.     implanting machine memory deep inside.
	machine faciality    deep inside.   atomic  interface.
	avataraliens  embedded under skins.  through. touch. 
	vision rarely sees except for the coded signs that produce a 	
	path 	to produce touch to be touched.
	cells are ready to eat themselves.

== <small>'''Context'''</small> ==

Although more information about ''codes>alien'' is unknown, the manifesto was published on the website Alt X (1) and appears on the list of "The Day of the Manifestoes", which is part of the Hybrid Workspace of the Documenta X of Kassel in the year of 1997 (2). Alt-X "Online Network", "Manufactured in Cyberspace", "Where the Digerati Meet the Literati" is a webáge “Made in USA” that was created by Mark Amerika in 1993 with the aim to "challenge the publishing institutions of art and literature by supporting some of the most iconoclastic voices and visions in contemporary art and writing" (3). By the other hand, the Hybrid Workspace was a space dependent on the Documentary X of Kassel in which from June 21 to september 28, 11 groups related with the arts, the Internet and the activism participated with different conferences and workshops, each group had a participation that lasted between 10 and 14 days (4).

== <small>'''Authors'''</small> ==

Orphan Drift is a group of artist formed in 1995 that combines different media like the video, instlation and literature in order to produce artistic works (5). The group has venues in London and Oslo, where they ocassionaly invites other artist, musicians and writers with the aim to make new projects. The pieces of the collective are produced to be placed in the space regularly by commission or commercial contracts (5). Currently, Orphan Drift's artistic work focuses on "the encounters between speculative narratives, ecology, the quantum universe, the set of ancient cosmologies, presence and future, and the expanded spatial and temporal scales of geopolitical pressure" (6). The work of the colective has been exhibited in different artistic institutions like Space Gallery, Tate Modern, IMT Gallery in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, etc. (6).
