ap02::

ap02 presents a promiscuous model of data generation and
self-display, making use of a virtual machine architecture to develop and
execute self modifying instruction sets across networked nodes.
reconfigurable code is interwoven with and determined by network and
environmental data. nodes expand virally through diverse machine
environments as they actively seek for data across any network. the body of
the work is code (material) and in work this code is made evident, visible.
the only functionality of ap02 is in self display; showing its own changing,
performative code as it runs. ap02 is expressed within three interwoven
projects; as physical self display devices, as a freely available,
distributed networked application and implemented within a performance structure;
development of current ap01 clustering and performance technology
towards non-hierarchical models of client/server design and improved
scalability. ap02 performance technology will load custom-OS from floppy
and communicate with range of devices + internet. ap02 performance
technology implements promiscuous de-centralized data generation and
self-display of operations resulting from cross-node-developing
instruction sets.

ap02 software enables the experimental insertion of hardware modules
and performers into a baroque, networked, cellular system. the
gdapp (generic data) matrix application is used to access, manipulate  
and manifest complex underlying data flows and metrics. the
performance system has been used at events in holland, sweden,
iceland, germany in autumn 2002 and events in norway, france and   
london in 2003.
