about

On 31.12.2021 we found in the mailbox of our studio an eviction letter, for defaulting behavior, reporting the address of some place we never rented. Being the location just a couple of blocks from our studio, we immediately jumped on the car for on-the-spot investigation, to find a small white building we never noticed, even though we grew up in the neighborhood. Big windows covered from the inside with taped paper, a green metal door, firmly locked. As soon as one let the handle go, another slowly said: “I think we do have the key”. We ran to the studio to grab the key we found in a box, sent to us by someone unknown, exactly 2 years earlier.
Jump cut,

and the key clicks into the lock.
Cellar smell, dust particles dancing in the light, there’s a table in the center of the room, on top of the table there are 4 cardboard boxes, on the top of each box, handwritten, with a black thick pencil: “A.D. 2022”.

What follows is the content of the box
Dust Archive protocol code: D.A. #019 - A.D. 2022

∙ [SP#099] to [SP#104] spools of tape
∙ [IT#055] abstract print*
∙ [IT#056] VHS tape**
∙ [IT#057] cyanotype portrait; on the back, handwritten:

BIAS + RNX, Pordenone, Italy, 1913

∙ [IT#058] sheet of paper, containing notes handwritten with a black
ballpen. Transcription follows:

"3.2037
Just beyond our cognition
rolled up into a loop
a vibration
a bloop

In my fingertips
a matte black cube
and I see every side of this prism
like in the Early Cubism

Through the strings that bind everything
healed by the notes of the particles chirping
where light and sound are the very same thing"

*The “abstract prints”, punctually present with each group of tapes, were chosen to become the cover art for the online music streaming platforms, superimposing subsequently the protocol code we generated for the boxes

The box and its content is in storage at our new facility.
