The Burst

The Burst probes for a contingent event of singularity: a moment when the utopias of techno-automated intelligence and its infrastructural material realities might rapidly come into friction and burst in unison. Such territory for political friction is enacted within a consensual machine: a nonhuman routine of incessant fact construction and re-evaluation. Consisting of 16 metallic probes and a metallic sheet sample spinning in high speed, the machine acts through the vitality of the very base materials of its constitution: electricity and metals, taken as generators of contingency for automated evaluative thinking.

This project was co-produced by the KIKK Festival, the Goethe-Institute of Brussel and the Abattoirs de Bomel.
