Sensing Projections

In the dark.

In the warmth on a moist palette.

In the light.

In the cool flow of cosmic breeze.

Waiting…

…crawling, flowing, pulsating, pausing, reversing, creeping, slowing, speeding, pausing, stopping, firming, accruing…

…erecting, posing, stand proud.

Thirsty,

sweating across planes,

each sweet globule of sweat holds with it a minute universe of brethren proportion.

Observing sensible environmental notations, responding from and anticipating for, memory of moments.

The architectural interstition between two parallel technologies; a cartesian projection of an allegorical architecture (freemasonry ritual) and an environmental social network material (physarum slime mould), occurs at the moment of an observant in space, the moment defined by the existence of both technologies with inherently independent measure of time. One that operates on the basis of a solar calender, the other on the basis of cellular rythm and environmental threshold.

The passage of the observant through space is codified through the biological lens of the slime mould, through the three life phases of the technology, sensing the action component of the observant that contains a memory of that component in use within each phase of its cycle. This imprint is contained and suggests mnemonic points through the existing architecture inherent to lodge ritual that occurs four times a year. At each point of ritual, a different componant of the body is in use as demanded by the architecture of the building and the ritual:

A) Processional Vestibule – Leg

B) Temple Threshold – Finger(print)

C) The Art of Memory (Temple) – Retina

The drawings below are a beginning exploration of each of the three elements above.
