This site is a record of projects that are not necessarily finished but have reached a definitive manifestation. Each may yet inform or become something else. The work holds and investigates, from different positions, the long shift we are living through – from a world understood as objects in space and time, toward one that might be seen as information and fields. The title borrows from Erin Manning and Brian Massumi's account of the anarchive (2016) as a "feed-forward mechanism for lines of creative process," in which traces are "carriers of potential" and archives serve as their waystations. The works span original photography, text, found materials, machine-learning-generations, and digital installation.
Ongoing concerns include perception and technological entanglement, and questions about what leads us to value various language materials differently.
