Abstract

This work of speculative fiction and commentary describes a laboratory focused on human sense and affect. The laboratory is alive with computational capacity, recursively elaborating and generating data. The very notion of recording data is radically reconceived through this speculative fiction, as it points toward a new materialist sens/ability and new forms of social science.
