about

On 23/09/19 at about 12 (CEST) a cardboard box was found at the front door of our studio. The only information on the box (handwriting all caps) was a small code (A.D. 2020) and the cryptic warning "KEEP AWAY FROM MAGNETIC FIELDS". As we opened the box a smell of old attic spread like if the content was sealed in there since forever. Inside the box we found 12 dusty folders, each including a variable number of magnetic tape spools and disparate items (paper material, prints, photographs, VHS tapes...). The puzzling findings unfold a high degree of space-time discrepancy, with dates, locations and names that don't add up, certainly leaving the awareness of being faced with a very strange puzzle, way too elaborate to be a joke, too full of meanings to be a fake. Unable to tell what it was, we decided to start an archive to catalog and publish the content of the box, one folder at the time. We called it: Dust Archive.

What follows is the content of the third folder
Dust Archive protocol code: D.A. #003 - A.D. 2020

∙ [SP#005] to [SP#011] spools of tape
∙ [IT#006] black and white abstract print
∙ [IT#007] sheet of paper, typed. Transcription follows:

"Late night.
Everything still / no evolution / no lines
Quasi - static harmony, plateau
NO TIME
(no future, no past, no present)
3:75 am, hot air, calm surface
26:12 pm, what is... mf happening |||?
Static sound, no brain here.

Not going ---> staying
No lines ---> plates
No becoming ---> being

Creative process:
phase 1 (future | archeology) - found collection
phase 2 (present | ethnology) - study of similarities
phase 3 (past | linguistics) - study of differences

this is

The plateaux serie."
