Ark Codex +_ 0 is an authorless book object of art & text inked on pre-existing book pages & reformulated to induce an abstracted retelling of Noah's fabled tale. Ark Codex speaks for itself - a self-contained archeological archive of language for the sake of language, an artifact collaged of image & text mined from unspecified or unknown origins: deconstructed, replicated, reappropriated, cut-up, traced, erased, distressed, deterritorialized, rubbed, stained, repurposed, then reconstituted & expressed in a feedback loop driven by the same chance operations that guide natural selection. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
