From within 邊界_RG, we interrogate the limitations and potentials that the digital framework offers for operating the format from an extensive perspective—that is, operating from the framework with the framework, from the limit with the limit, from the edge with the edge. We approach the format in the digital context not as a fixed entity but as a malleable cultural instrument, enabling geometric multiplicities and the production of emergent fields. 邊界_RG arises with the intention of unsettling institutional stasis and the geography of fields of action and knowledge, directly probing the structures that constitute cultural apparatuses and seeking to displace and reimagine possible formal configurations that may open onto new modalities of research and artistic production. Format s02 emerges centered on these practices, seeking to reconceptualize the operative possibilities—both aesthetic and theoretical—within the conditions of digital culture, situating its inquiry at the limit, the edge, the frame, the frontier / from the philosophy of language, memory, the geometric and the abstract, the systems and the activable, and the processes of producing value, meaning, and identity.
The 邊界_RG Format s02 follows a series of propositions: It is manifest that, however different from the real one imagines a world to be, it must have something in common with it — a form. / Only if there are objects can there be a fixed form of the world. / The importance of representing movement. / Artistic production must not be bound to specific medium. / Artistic production and research are bound to the limits of what is represented. / Representativity is a form of mediation. / The system is annulment. / The system begins between two orders. / The system requires two orders. / The nexus between two orders in itself is an operation without action. / The pre-individual being already contains the structure of the world — The subject appears through a system that mediates / what is mediated is always presented (given). / Information is not a term: it presupposes the tension of a system, it can only be inherent to a problematic. Information is the product of two orders that appear undifferentiated. / The tense system. / All mediation establishes geometric axes (language and the production of value presuppose geometric axes). / The conservation of the tense system exists through exchanges (between structure and operation). / An exchange implies a certain directionality (directionality is produced). / We call directionality the production of geometric axes. / Directionality implies representation. / Directionality implies the production of value. / Representation constitutes a minimum of two given orders. / What is given is proposed by a representational model. / What is presented is presupposed. / What is given is presented as an instant; this value requires activation. / An activation is a modification of substances. / Activation is required to establish the orders of objectivization (directionality and definition). / Activation is a process of abstraction. / Objectivization is a tense process of directionality. / The system tends toward the object (closed multiple system). / The possible is what is contained; the potential is what is released. / Content requires a body. / What is contained that is released (transcendental linguistic system). / What is released will be activated (the opaque breaks, the fissure is the persecutory viscosity of what is represented here and now). / What is released is what lies between one thing and its next. / Directionality is problematically built through a first general order. / Internal resonance is one of the three problems of value as a given elementary particle. / What is contained is unstable. / The object is unstable, it has no duration. / The system becomes tense as it tends toward the object (tense system). / The system appears by collectivizing the experience of the possible (play system). / An activation requires one or several forms of mediation. / The tool can be decomposed into one or several forms of mediation. / That which is carried always ends up detaching. / The two minimal orders of a system propose a transgression (economic system). / Transgression, figure, objective, figure and ground. / The system tends toward the instant (closed multiple system). / Those who do not know that the ground withdraws. / Between the ground and the object there is a translucent direction (the most translucent there is). / There is something. / The possible withdraws, it is released. / The possible is released from the limit, from the edge. / Silence is what is presented, what tends toward the limit. / To try to distance oneself as much as possible (transcendental linguistic system). / Distance establishes axes of directionality. / What is presented, the thing in itself, in the instant, without its Other. / Abstract exchange is the restricted part (Always in the thing its next is represented). / Leave nothing in shadow, the pride of light (tense system). / The extreme is the window. / The extreme is destroyed in the infinite possibility of its similars. / Everything that recommences is what is given (game system). / Game arises by collectivizing the experience of the possible. / To collectivize is to establish horizontal axes of directionality (decentralized system). / The decentralized system requires a transcendental turn (open multiple system). / The sign activates the thing by operating with and through a transcendental system. / Planes of action are incapable of touching immediately. / The mediated is part of a system-state. / The mediated presupposes the production of at least one extension of a triad of values. / Value is exchangeable. / Value is potentially collapsible. / What is released is that which is incapable of collapsing. / Technology is part of feedback systems that constitute cognition, the mapping of the environment, the shape of value, the shape of morality. / A tool shall not be used.
