HISTORICAL TRANSMISSION DESCRIPTION

“Transmission for Quarantine, Diversification, and Multiplication.”

This description is preserved as a historical document of how the recording was understood. It is not presented as a scientific claim.

LATER READING

Humans, aliens and robots are placed together as competing or interacting categories. The stated purpose — quarantine, diversification and multiplication — anticipates later questions about systems and transformation.

MAKING HISTORY

The artist recalls beginning Humans v’s Aliens v’s Robots on 28 March 2011, working on it for approximately two days, then revisiting it for about one day during the challenge.

SOURCE // ARTIST RECOLLECTION

UNRESOLVED

When was the recording actually created? When was its title chosen? When was the transmission description written? Did its position in the final sequence reflect an original intention or a later recognition?
