i should have posted more during #teardown2026 but my installation went well, i met some cool folks, and i burned myself while trying to connect a recycled vape battery to an ultrasonic piezo driver board. a pretty positive experience ☺️

a view of the installation of a device in my piece flagday, moin red on a clear acrylic shelf on a window. the devices is clear PET and black glitter PLA

another view of a similar device, but from behind (through the window). this one is printed in pink PLA and makes the paisley design on the back apparent

also, something striking is that for all the issues around document pipelines and getting in updates from source data - it seems like we haven't been thinking about applying records/info management/DAM principles consistently and it feels like a MASSIVE gap in professional training and knowledge

« To restore is not to conserve, again. There is no refuge in restoration. Conservation is always new. It comes from the place we stopped while we were on the run. » stefano harney and fred moten, _the undercommons: fugitive planning and black study_ (new york: minor compositions, 2013)

Credit can be restored, restructured, rehabilitated, but debt forgiven is always unjust, always unforgiven. Restored credit is restored justice and restorative justice is always the renewed reign of credit, a reign of terror, a hail of obligations to be met, measured, meted, endured Justice is only possible where debt never obliges, never demands, never equals credit, payment, payback. Justice is possible only where it is never asked, in the refuge of bad debt, in the fugitive public of strangers not communities, of undercommons not neighbourhoods, among those who have been there all along from somewhere. To seek justice through restoration is to return debt to the balance sheet and the balance sheet never balances. It plunges toward risk, volatil-ity, uncertainty, more credit chasing more debt, more debt shackled to credit. To restore is not to conserve, again. There is no refuge in restoration. Conservation is always new. It comes from the place we stopped while we were on the run. It's made from the people who took us in. It's the space they say is wrong, the practice they say needs fixing, the homeless aneconomics of visiting.

Fugitive publics do not need to be restored. They need to be con-served, which is to say moved, hidden, restarted with the same joke, the same story, always elsewhere than where the long arm of the creditor seeks them, conserved from restoration, beyond justice, beyond law, in bad country, in bad debt. They are planned when they are least expected, planned when they don't follow the process, planned when they escape policy, evade governance, forget themselves, remember themselves, have no need of being forgiven. They are not wrong though they are not, finally communities; they are debtors at distance, bad debtors, forgotten but never forgiven. Give credit where credit is due, and render unto bad debtors only debt, only that mutuality that tells you what you can't do. You can't pay me back, give me credit, get free of me, and I can't let you go when you're gone. If you want to do something, forget this debt, and remember it later.
