-Impressionistic documentary video of Decrystallization, a two day workshop event examining computer materiality, cybernetic feedback and entropy.
-Hosted in London, May 27-28th 2011, by [[http://xxn.org.uk|Jonathan Kemp]] and [[http://ryanjordan.org|Ryan Jordan]]
 If computers and the minerals from which they are made are considered as equally crystalline, then their decrystallization is only possible through the introduction of vigorous and noisy positive feedback loops.
-The workshop began from the premise that the decrystallization of the digital through positive feedback disrupts and escalates entropy through such crystalline systems. Mindful that such activities can also be used to consolidate capital through the use of stolen negentropic energies, the 2nd day of the workshop will investigate the re-vivification of computation's raw minerals through mutation and irregular assemblage by participants for a final night of salon performances.
