+''[[http://xxn.org.uk/doku.php?id=recrystallization:pr|recrystallization]]'' 3-day workshop with [[http://xxn.org.uk|Jonathan Kemp]], [[http://www.1010.co.uk/org|Martin Howse]], and [[http://ryanjordan.org/home.html|Ryan Jordan]], Berlin, July 18th - July 20th 2011

+[[http://xxn.org.uk/doku.php?id=recrystallization:pr|recrystallization]] was convened around the premise that while life itself starts from aperiodic crystals that encode infinite futures within a small number of atoms, the digital crystallization of the flesh by capital limits these futures to the point of exhaustion.
+If computers and the minerals from which they are made are considered as equally crystalline, then their recrystallization is only possible through the introduction of vigorous and noisy positive feedback loops.
+Where the previous [[http://xxn.org.uk/doku.php?id=decrystallization|decrystallization]] workshops had addressed the computational side of this equivalence in recovering some component materials through executing various mechanical and chemical processes on old computers parts, ''recrystallization'' refined the attack further by re-purposing elements of discarded computers as the means of their further subversion, as well as in its renewed chemical leachings to successfully recover minerals including gold for asynchronic recombinations.
