form and process
As far as the relationship between form and process, I'm completely caught up in infatuation with the actualization of the virtual, the Deleuzian notion. I think you're familier with it, more so than me, because you read Massumi's book, but there's some reference to something like it in Thousand Plateaus too. What's interesting to me about your work is that it recapitulates a lost history of forms in such a way that highlights the complexity of the cause of the sequence: each new form plays a part in the form that will follow, but the following form can't be reduced to the logical conclusion of the preceding form. The mesas are open yet self referential systems. At the same time, each of those forms, as you represent them, are actually new sense-events, the graph or the model, it's a new thing. So I'm also interested in the way that you're producing the actual of a representation of a mesa's becoming, itself open ended, your images being the phenotype emerging from the genotype of measures of density. You are inventing mesas, calling into existence a mesa that has never existed before, a mesa which is at once itself and a sequence, but not out of your ass, out of a great inaccessible virtual that you've found a new way to actualize. But there's a curious ethic to what you're doing, because you're actualizing a becoming, not a product, and you're doing it in a way that is reaching for the virtual, trying to be problematic rather than juridical. A scientific object, an artistic aim, and I think Deleuze (and Spinoza) would say, an ethical practice. Pleas tell me if I'm totally wrong.
