The construction of an imaginary, a re-writing of history, allows\none to step into the future.\n\nThe new imaginary does not necessarily arise from acts of imaginations. Often\nit is already present in the raw materials we have at hand. It is *latent*\ninside the library. There is a process of refactoring, often beginning in the\nlinguistic domain, but manifesting in an ontological shift.\n\nWe can conceptualize this shift with reference to the bi-stable images from\nperceptual psychology. The balerina who rotates both clockwise and\ncounterclockwise. The Necker cube whose orientation is unclear. The dress that\nis both black and white. The material content does not change, but the\nperceived gestalt changes entirely.\n\nHow to provoke that shift in perception, that re-organization of the archive?\nThis is the role of art, as Alva Noe argues.\n\n1.
