codes>alien 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.

Contexto

The text was generated mostly by me and one other member of the 0D collaborative artist/ hive mind/ avatar. It was alongside an installation called AnteOmega, producing an alien skin inspired by Mayan glyphs & time travelling myths, snake transformation & vibrational frequencies. The text is actually called Zone Codes.

In the Becoming Cyberpositive section, check out AnteOmega & Zone Codes is available there. And the production date - maybe 1997, can’t remember!

is called Zone Codes, and was written in 1997, authored by 0rphan drift (our collective moniker/avatar) as a companion piece to an ephemeral visual artwork called AnteOmega.

Ante0mega was a site specific installation made for the exhibition 'Charge of the Light Brigade', one of many projects we participated in that were curated and produced by the mischievous and anti-canonical art collective BANK. They were temporarily inhabiting a warehouse space near Old Street, London in a developers effort to start the revitalization process prior to a big demographic shift.

Ante0mega was made over a series of days, directly onto the wall. It is composed of acetate copies of diagrams related to neuro-philosophy, vibration and cellular structures- color photocopies from photographic sources and snakeskin.Making an analogy between the architecture and a body- the walls became a skin like surface into which these clusters of information were embedded.

The catalogue included the accompanying text - Zone Codes.

El manifiesto también se encuentra publicado la galería en linea Alt X y forma parte del listado de textos de The Day of the Manifestoes del Hybrid Workspace de la Documental X de Kassel de 1997 (2). Alt-X "Online Network", "Manufactured in Cyberspace", "Where the Digerati Meet the Literati" es un portal web “Made in USA” creado por Mark Amerika en 1993 dedicado a “desafiar a las instituciones editoriales del arte y literatura apoyando algunas de las voces y visiones más iconoclastas en el arte y la escritura contemporáneos” (3). Por su parte, el Hybrid Workspace fue un espacio dependiente de la Documental X de Kassel en el que desde el 21 de junio hasta el 28 de septiembre de 1997 participaron 11 grupos relacionados con las artes, el Internet y el activismo con diversas charlas y talleres, cada grupo tuvo una participación que duro entre 10 y 14 días (4).

Autoras

Orphan Drift es un grupo de artistas conformado en 1995 que combinan diferentes medios como el vídeo, la instalación y la literatura para producir trabajos artísticos (5). La agrupación cuenta con sedes en Londres y Oslo, donde ocasionalmente invitan a otros artistas, músicos y escritores para la realización de proyectos. Las piezas del colectivo son producidas para situarse en el espacio regularmente por comisión o contratos comerciales (5). En la actualidad, el trabajo artístico de Orphan Drift se centra en "los encuentros entre las narrativas especulativas, la ecología, el universo cuántico, el conjunto de cosmologías antiguas, la presencia y el futuro y las escalas espaciales y temporales expandidas de la presión geopolítica" (6). El trabajo del colectivo se ha presentado en diversas instituciones artísticas, entre ellas la Space Gallery, la Tate Modern y la IMT Gallery de Londres, el Museum of Modern Art de San Francisco, entre otros (6).
