about

“And what are these same evanescent Increments? They are neither finite Quantities nor Quantities infinitely small, nor yet nothing. May we not call them the Ghosts of departed Quantities?”, The Analyst (1734), George Berkeley.

ghosts of departed quantities explores the paradox of “the devil’s staircase”, in which the proportional removal of material is repeated successively leading to the formation of an increasing number of fragments of decreasing size. The four performers are presented with a graphically notated, permutated and networked scrolling score.

Memories leave an irreducible residue. Like the devil’s staircase, the more is subtracted, the more and smaller steps remain.
