Cadlag project. — A space born in sound and a sound born in space.
Interweaving aural and visual architectures of sound by inspecting and challenging versatile sonic form(ul)ations.
{ Phenomenology of [+].
Plus and minus being (NOT) one and the same.
[+] as additive function and [-] as subtractive function.
Both encompass difference, yet belong to one and the same movement, i.e. movement forwards and movement backwards.
Both are too much and too less at the same time; both are use(ful/less). Both are movements of empty mathematical forms, that belong to nothingness of their instrumental derivative, i.e. every(no)thing.
Everything and nothing, both being no-thing at all.
Empty addition and empty subtraction of [1] – first ‘sadistic’ movement of the will to add, divide and substract. The birth of [1], the birth of [+], of the ever-additive successive “1’s”, that equals no-thing at all. Empty repetitive compulsive disorder of mathematical ‘creation’; abstract form/s that feeds on the concrete and presses it with non-avoidable sign of mortality, as the simple enumeration of the number [1]. The process that stamps and kills/transforms the life-substance into mere empty abstract form/s. The first formally inevitable and perpetual death of the life itself, feeding and gorging upon its own (formal) flesh. The formal leaves the trace on the existential (the content of organic life), becomes the marker of the dissolution of the death itself, converging upon its own content, that is life.
[+] and [-], both being empty signs of absolute division, a demarcation between appearance/s and disappearance/s of no-thing/s.
Delight in both, the creation and death at the same time. }
