ambience exists beyond any notion of conceptuality. conceptuality of any kind, however subtle, implies an aggressive grasping and fixation. (timothy morton, why ambient poetics? outline for a depthless ecology – p52–p56, the wordsworth circle, 33.1, winter, 2002)

the infinite touch of nothingness is threaded through all being/becoming, a tangible indeterminacy that goes to the heart of matter. matter is not only iteratively reconstituted through its various intra-actions, it is also infinitely and infinitesimally shot through with alterity (karen barad, on touching—the inhuman that therefore i am – p8, v 1.1, 2012)
