Works on paper, exploring the production of technical devices that seek to capture the operations of reality in itself. Machines inspired from Ramon Llull’s Ars Combinatoria, as much as William Wallace Cook’s book Plotto (1926) that through finite means seek to encompass the realm of open possibilities. The works speak to the question of the distinction between “first nature” and “second nature”, the question of the consequences of making and refusing these distinctions. When the construction of such machinic devices produces the semblance and affect of randomness through the computational we can assert that the promise of the open is derived from norms and at the same time that we must be able to revise the norms that are the levers to generate the capacity of the open. The works themselves show contrived forms of nature spilling from the machines, each machine being mobilized by the handles of coffee grinders and old cash registers, This nature is entropic consuming the system that it springs from. Beyond is another space that the machine cannot force a relation with, another world.
