forkergirl talks about moments in which stable systems of structure become active. Such moments are not permanent, but Limited Fork Theory, even in its birth as limited Fork Poetics, delights in these moments, whether brief, or relatively infinite on an unassisted human scale. Things come together! and they manage to hold --let's hear it for any length of time during which the connection lasts (and if a harmful connection, the shorter the better).

Chapter 2 transcripts:
"Yes; there can be that moment in Chapter 2 of the DOD Theory video book in which the structure holds. It becomes so stable that there is an illusion of permanence. The structure holds, and there is a sestina, there is a sonnet, there is a mountain of tetrahedron. Structure forms and reforms anywhere on the page. The structure holds."

2nd chapter of DOD: The Death of Depth," an early 2005 video exploration of Limited Fork Poetics (as Limited Fork Theory was then known, and had been known since LFT's birth in October 2004). This video book has been reconfigured from files and file fragments salvaged from a failed external hard drive (650GB of 800GB existing, as of this writing, as unreadable information).

"The Death of Depth" was an outcome of the birth of forkergirl's understanding of the usual location of her (and, therefore, her/the fork's) interactions: on the surface, at the entrance to the interaction, boundary position; "depth" continuously reconfigured as the yet-to-explore, the to-be-connected-with; for when something is cut into, the cutter and the interaction tend to be relocated to a surface that emerges; what is exposed by cut or entry becomes available for consideration, itself a form of interaction. The surface is suitable for study. And if not complex, may become so with scale shifting: magnification.

Features early music from the founder of Strexx Quantum Orchestra.
