Lemni/s.CA(a)T ∞1
Lemni/s.CA(a)T ∞1 is a small Installation/Device which refers to the mathematical symbol of infinity (∞ Lemniscata/Lemniscaat/Lemniscate) and what it entails.
It is the first of a series of installations that study this effect and which are related to the C++ Programming Language using the Loop: While.
In a Programming Language Loop: While studies those cycles that are used when the number of repetitions is not known in advance.
Lemni/s.CA(a)T ∞1 through its cycle of mechanical rotation performs this theory.
Its function is very simple: put inside the metal basket/drum one or more balls of size/shape/different material. These ones rolling in it (“Loop Rotation= ∞ Infinite” or “Loop: While= Finite”) will make in a “Random” way sound of different tones (because we can not predict the exactly point and with which intensity/force the different balls will hit the basket/drum). We can also regulate the velocity of the basket/drum with its CC Motor Velocity Regulator to change the movement inside in.
The installation can be executed in acoustic inside a suitable “container” (room) to acts as a resonance box for Lemni/s.CA(a)T ∞1 or in digital synthesis where the executed sounds will be processed in real time to create new ones (Quadraphonic Method).
A video soon.
“… It is always possible to think of a larger number: for the number of times a magnitude can be bisected is infinite. Hence the infinite is potential, never actual; the number of parts that can be taken always surpasses any assigned number.” – Aristotele, Physics 207b8
“Sed omne continuum est actualiter existens. Igitur quaelibet pars sua est vere existens in rerum natura. Sed partes continui sunt infinitae quia non tot quin plures, igitur partes infinitae sunt actualiter existentes.
But every continuum is actually existent. Therefore any of its parts is really existent in nature. But the parts of the continuum are infinite because there are not so many that there are not more, and therefore the infinite parts are actually existent.” - William of Ockham
“… I can see in space the possibility of any finite experience… we recognise [the] essential infinity of space in its smallest part.” “[Time] is infinite in the same sense as the three-dimensional space of sight and movement is infinite, even if in fact I can only see as far as the walls of my room.
… what is infinite about endlessness is only the endlessness itself.” - Ludwig Wittgenstein
“…infinity is produced in the relationship of the same with the other, and how the particular and the personal, which are unsurpassable, as it were magnetize the very field in which the production of infinity is enacted…
The idea of infinity is not an incidental notion forged by a subjectivity to reflect the case of an entity encountering on the outside nothing that limits it, overflowing every limit, and thereby infinite. The production of the infinite entity is inseparable from the idea of infinity, for it is precisely in the disproportion between the idea of infinity and the infinity of which it is the idea that this exceeding of limits is produced. The idea of infinity is the mode of being, the infinition, of infinity… All knowing qua intentionality already presupposes the idea of infinity, which is preeminently non-adequation.” - Emmanuel Levinas
“There is a concept which corrups and upsets all others. I refer not to Evil, whose limited realm is that of ethics; I refer to the infinitive.” - Jorge luis Borges
