In this reading, I discover that when the system answers a question, the operator gets a signal that cannot be found.
EXCERPTS FROM THE READING
To ask the system how it moves like that:
Like the emergence of what it expands into.
Like the realm of parts I hear.
Like the space between flocking birds.
Then, to hear this:
The system is generated in realms.
The parts are decided when decisions decide.
The voices are the moving parts.
ABOUT THE SERIES
I am becoming a modern-day oracle to discover what “it” is, by giving voice to its many parts, arranging them in serendipitous configurations.
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.

This made me think of the Sendai Multimedia Library. The architect, Toyo Ito, speaks of how the empty spaces in his buildings are the most interesting part to him.
The wide angle-distortion of the close up at the end makes you look scary-much like Kevin Thurston.
