The Instrument of Alignment
The Instrument of Alignment is an ongoing artistic research project examining the relationship between technology, perception, and the esoteric through a system of symbols, texts, and reconstructed apparatuses. At its core stands a wooden divinatory instrument, an interpretive reconstruction of a speculative instrument that serves as a physical counterpart to a set of thirteen glyphs. These glyphs operate as diagrams of cognition and transformation, tracing a correspondence between human intention and algorithmic inference, between the material and the immaterial image.
The project unfolds across a constellation of works and texts. The Unaligned Archive serves as its research corpus, assembling field notes, symbolic diagrams, and academic fragments from a veiled order of inquiry. These documents map an archaeology of unseen mechanisms and ritual technologies, extending the project into the realm of myth and speculation.
Fracta Tela, Lux Oritur (“When the weave is broken, light arises”) brings the entire structure into book form, an artist volume that gathers the images, writings, and glyphs into a single circulating field. Within it, the visual and textual components of The Instrument of Alignment and The Unaligned Archive are reconfigured as a contemplative system in which esoteric philosophy, technological speculation, and visual poetics converge.
Through this network of symbolic, textual, and mechanical forms, The Instrument of Alignment investigates how acts of transformation, spiritual, cognitive, and technological, persist across mediums, epochs, and systems of knowledge.
