Trevor Ruiz Douglass: Gateway to the impossible (2021)


This presumptuous title have little ground in reality. The threshold where perceptual systems collapse and self-organizing systems emerge, say. When forced to process raw noise, the nervous system refuses to remain in void space. It begins generating structure out of nothing to resolve the sensory tension (pareidolia, hallucinations).
The impossible: an appearance of form where no physical form exists.
You go from reception to generation (projection). The limit of entropy where message and medium collide; all possible messages existing simultaneously in superposition.
Or merely biological flaws, latency and limitation. Rather than being a gateway to unmanifest potential, noise reduces system efficiency to absolute zero, leading to paralysis rather than creation.
Is a solar state possible or impossible? It doesn't try to understand or digest the noise but treats it as unformed material. Noise ceases to be paralyzing when you stop trying to hold it, and start using its friction to project outwards.
The illusion of control.
