AB₁₂₃C: Distortion-Entangled Bodies in the Al-gorithmic Age

DescriptionThis paper presents the robotic installation AB₁₂₃C, an information evolution system composed of five interacting robotic agents. Rather than preserving informational fidelity, the system stages distortion as a structural principle—a generative condition through which information acquires form. As descriptive content circulates across a chain of machines, it undergoes semantic drift, structural fragmentation, and emergent recomposition. These transformations do not reflect malfunction, but express the entangled ontology of mediated systems. By integrating algorithmic indeterminacy, material reconfiguration, and environmental perturbation, the installation visualizes how meaning arises through iterative misalignment. Within this machinic ecology, truth is not preserved—it is enacted, shaped through continuous entanglement, differential deferral, and distributed agency.
