“bit.flow” – Inquiry into Shifting Values and Perceptibility of Information. This work sets up both a visual and conceptual association to the ancient myth of Ariadne’s thread in which chaos is vanquished by order. “bit.flow” reflects Michel Foucault’s interpretation of this myth: What if the famed and rather fragile filament had torn? At the same time, “bit.flow” is a consideration of purported chaos and the order inherent in it. Dozens of tiny pieces of the “red thread” coalesce to form a chaotic swarm of particles or bits of information; they unexpectedly arrange themselves at a particular point to reestablish the order of Ariadne’s thread. Only there do they open up the path to perceptibility.
