I am becoming a modern-day oracle to discover what “it” is, by giving voice to its many parts, arranging them in serendipitous configurations.
I Am Its Voices – Part 1 from Adam Good on Vimeo.
Method:
- Become a medium for meaningful phrases to emerge from; use source texts when possible.
- Write the phrases on post-it notes.
- Take webcam shots of yourself holding the post-it notes.
- Do an improvised oracular reading of the pictures.
- Repeat until enlightened.
In this reading, I discover that “it” emerges from a realm generated by all possible configurations of expanding elements of consciousness.
Source for this reading: The Universe in a Single Atom.
EXCERPT FROM THE READING
- This realm I enter is generated.
- This realm is generated in expanding elements, in momentum.
- It learns that it is the basis of consciousness.
- It is expanding elements through reading, through evolution of constraint.
- The basis of the emergence is into play.
- Composed of particles, of individual parts I hear.
- This realm is all possible generations expanding into the emergence of existence.
- The emergence of the possible configurations.

The downsampled audio + stilted cadence gives it a great “this is the Mac computer-generated voice” feeling.
What’s so awesome, as I’ve said, is the way the performance process is transparent. The slowness adds to the ah ha when the viewer realizes, oh, that’s what he’s doing. And then, wow. And then, oh yeah. And then, peculiar. Ooh. Awesome.
