move 37 - 2024
“Move 37 is an emblem of the AI revolution for two reasons. First, it demonstrated the alien nature of AI” … “Second, Move 37 demonstrated the unfathomability of AI.”

Boolean logic is a type of algebra in which results are calculated as either TRUE or FALSE (known as truth values or truth variables). Instead of using arithmetic operators like addition, subtraction, and multiplication, Boolean logic utilizes three basic logical operators: AND, OR, and NOT.
From a distance, things always seem a bit blurry, a bit out of focus, as if they are modulating between differing states; colours loose their subtleties, details give way to the mire of shape and as we try to focus on those distant objects on our horizons we squint so as to remove any externalities which might be a distraction. A constriction of the muscles, a narrowing of the amount of visible light entering the retina which allows our eyes to interpret things more clearly, a filtering technique that allows us to block out the peripheral influences and leave those moments of ambiguity to the side. Like trying to look into the sun knowing that it is physically impossible to do without the mediation of some sort of substrate, without technology intervening so as to expand our capabilities and to temporarily allow us to triumph over nature in some bizarre way.

Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale. On the surface of the Earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. In outer space, solar wind is the movement of gases or charged particles from the Sun through space, while planetary wind is the outgassing of light chemical elements from a planet's atmosphere into space. Winds are commonly classified by their spatial scale, their speed, the types of forces that cause them, the regions in which they occur, and their effect. The strongest observed winds on a planet in the Solar System occur on Neptune and Saturn. Winds have various aspects, an important one being its velocity; another the density of the gas involved; another is the energy content or wind energy of a wind.

Step 1: Determine the source of the hum by eliminating possibilities. Check all the connections between the speakers and the computer. A poor connection can introduce a ground loop and humming.
Step 2: Wiggle the speaker cables to see if the hum is intermittent or consistent. An intermittent hum may be caused by cracked or broken speaker wire.
Step 3: Ensure the computer is plugged in to a grounded outlet. The three-pronged plug has positive, negative and grounded terminals. Without the ground a ground loop can be introduced into the audio system and cause a hum at the frequency of the alternating current. Computer speakers can add extra, unwanted noise picked up from other electrical signals.
Step 4: Move or remove any radio frequency transmitters close to the speakers. Wi-Fi routers, cell phones, microwaves and baby monitors are all RF signal generators that can cause interference in poorly shielded audio cables, which is interpreted as a humming sound.
Step 5: Add ferrite beads to the speaker cable to block any RF signals that cannot be removed. Higher quality cables often have the electromagnetic shielding material built in, but you can purchase snap-on ferrite beads for unshielded cables. Typically you want to snap the beads close to one end, the other end or both.

Light travels at 299,792,458 metres per second. In all practical terms if information were to travel in a vacuum it would travel as fast as light but realistically it only moves as fast as its method of transmission allows it to. It travels as packets of information, from one machine to another converging at their destination in one piece. Assembled, dispersed and then re-assembled.

Abstract
Few geospatial data representations are more basic than the bounding box; a rectangle surrounding a geographic feature or dataset. Bounding boxes are a key component of geospatial metadata and lie at the heart of many computational geometry algorithms as well as spatial indexing systems. Despite their ubiquity and common use, bounding boxes are more complicated than they first appear. The phrase that ‘spatial is special’ applies to this humble representation as well as to more sophisticated geospatial representations. This paper explores the nuances of correctly understanding, using, and interpreting bounding boxes.
Keywords: Bounding box, Minimum Bounding Rectangle (MBR), metadata, map projection, geographic information systems, GIS
The bounding box is a fundamental component of numerous computational geometry algorithms, indexing schemes such as R-trees, and metadata. As a surrogate for a feature, it provides exact information on the extent or limits of the feature and approximates the coverage. Despite its ubiquity and simplicity, the bounding box remains a subtle and nuanced entity, showing once again that "spatial is special."

For consideration :
1. Transparency in exile : factual information may vary according to availability (working title) an intervention to an existing access corridor where information is copied, shredded and then reconfigured.
2. A place like you / a place like me / a place that no longer belongs to us (working title) a situation where visual information is gathered to then be recomposited as an online project at a future date.
Versions of versions, the liminal presence of ambiguous perceptual fields and the potentiality that factual information may vary according to availability
situation 1 // 2015.07.11-16 / 24 Balfour Road, Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand Davis seminar room located down the corridor past the bank of elevators on level 3
"Situated along a long corridor is a room. A room with a window, a portal which peers onto those who pass it by. A portal for those to peer into a room where a meeting might take place, where knowledge is being transferred from one entity to another, where labour is being performed, where information is being transformed."
situation 2 // ø : project.03 : 2015.07.11-16 / Front meeting room at 130 St. Georges Bay Road, Parnell
"... nobody really knows how many CCTV cameras exist in New Zealand. As we go about our daily lives we can expect to be captured on camera every time we use a public space; like walking down the street, at a restaurant, the supermarket, on the bus, train, ferry, taxi..."

Scattered around the external environs of the meeting room are the shredded remnants of what was once an official document. A report, which carried its weight through an association. Not only is the original document connected to an institutional identity but also to an individual. A set of individual, contracted identities, employed to perform their job. A ‘hired hand’, a set of possible misinformants. A journalist, an expert, a politician.
