Forkergirl, after a long absence, comes back to introduce two video poams (products of acts of making) about the universe as multiverse: Particle Popping (Digging on the Muon Blues) and Feeling Kelvin (a wheel rocket caliente mix of a particle-popped multiverse).

Watch as forkergirl takes you on a tour of some basic tenets of Limited Fork Theory that serves as a root system for two video poams that explore, through various kinds of shadows and reflections, the local as shadow and reflection of possible configurations of the whole shebang: Particle Popping: Digging on the Muon Blues and Feeling Kelvin: a Wheel Rocket caliente mix (of a forked part of the particle popped multiverse).

FROM THE ARTIST:
This forkergirl channel station identification video offers some conjuring of ways (and some playing with ways) in which things can come together and hold for a while (duration necessarily variable).
Using strands of beads, forkergirl demonstrates a few basic principles of Limited Fork Theory (the study of interacting systems: visual, sonic, olfactory, cognitive, tactile, imaginary, etc. on any scale[s] in any location[s] [including imagination] for any duration[s] of time):

The beads are strung on a foundation of connectedness (across scale, location, time, etc.);
the necklaces demonstrate a model of instantaneous travel from one bead or scale or universe, etc. to another (any other) bead or scale or universe, etc.  including scales, universes within a bead or scale or universe.
Configurations are reconfigurable (including configurations of forkergirl).
Forkergirl has fun (on multiple scales in multiple locations for multiple and varying durations of time).
—she must have fallen, must have slipped right through
the flexible tines of a limited fork herself.
