We herald the post-apocalyptical-condition (PAC), state of affairs.
PAC is driven by internet changed economic forces we already left behind.

Stop making your fucking product.

The fingers of one’s hand is where the word digital comes from
The digital means that something is divided into discrete (countable) units.
The digital information never exists in a perfect form but is an idealised abstraction of the analog signal.
By its nature, the analog signal has chaotic properties and ambiguous states

The analog (signal) can not be chopped into discrete (countable) units: lightwaves, magnetism
The analog consists of one or more signals which vary on a continuous scale
The analog as undifferentiated in the extreme 
The analog as the very antithesis of a notational/computational system

Established dichotomies above become obsolete in the PAC: old/new; analog/digital
Making way for an new differentiation, the one between. The interstate.

The PAC describes a perspective of said transition
The PAC focus is rejects the narrative of technological Innovation != techno-Positivism (e.g. Wired Magazin, Singularity Movement, Silicon Valley)
The PAC practice can only be meaningfully called PAC when it does functionally repurpose the digital/analog dichotomy in relation to each other by eliminating it

The prefix post should not be understood in the sense of postmodernism but rather in the sense of post-punk. so the continuation of a culture that is still this culture (digital), but also goes by it manifests itself in the analog domain, the real world. 

The PAC practice is the conscious decision to dispense the final analog product with respect to the digital media

The slower the transition the deeper the mutation

The PAC practice describes the given ongoing mutation
The PAC practice describes the intersections in between the transitions

It only serves randomly, to generate artefacts 
Its sources emerge and develop entirely on the Internet
Any distributed source may be affected

There is no difference between what you collect and what you make
Translate aesthetics. 
Play, push, rifle, swipe, quote, lift, gift, mimic, pirate, process, index, translate, trim.

Act archival: screenshot, freeze, rephotograph, reframe.
Archive back to the physical.

To freeze is to archive, to change the surface - onto the physical

(Find form)
Intersect content, form, function
Comment, anticipate and interpret the intersections
Be aware of semiotic contexts inside the intersections, use them
Consider potentially infinite repurposing and variation (there is nothing like that) 

The practice can only be meaningfully called PAC when it does not merely revive older media technologies
But: functionally repurpose older media technologies in relation to the digital media technologies

Represent a semiotic shift to the indexical: from text to context
Represent a shift from semantics to pragmatics, and from metaphysics to ontology

In order to understand the state of PAC the book is seen as a closed medium

We are not a movement
We are not a style
Our practice only serves randomly and as artefacts
