This preliminary section of the #lab_notes archive presents a unified, deduplicated chronological transcription of all known handwritten lab notes produced in 2020. Collated from seven source PDFs (95p master, 7p deduplicated unified record, 95p clean, 8p V9 Sep-Nov, 75p V10 Final Comprehensive, 60p IN_PROGRESS, 7p Master Precise), the collection was reduced from 90+ attached images and 277 Facebook posts scanned to 32 unique dates, ∼420 discrete notes, Jan 26 - Dec 30 2020.
Written in block capitals on sticky notes, it captures a real-time artistic research response to the first year of COVID-19. It moves from legal identity and creative dissidence (Feb 4: "THEY KNOW BECAUSE OF MENTAL MAPS IS HOW 2 PERSECUTE & DESTROY CREATIVE DISSIDANTES") to early pandemic observation (Mar 18 six blue notes: "YOUR SILLY GUNS ARE SO BIG - & THE VIRUS SO SMALL", "WHERE THERE IS WATER THERE IS LIFE", "THOSE WHO HAD THE LEAST SHARED THE MOST") to systemic critique and bio-philosophical speculation. Core mantras bookend the year: Jan 26 and Dec 30 — "THE UNIVERSE IS ENDLESS REPETITION / ENERGY OCCUPIES ALL POSSIBLE CONFIGURATIONS / DNA RE-EXPRESSES ITSELF" and "NOTHING BUT ENERGY VECTORS ALL CONFIGS TOWARDS ENTROPY".
