Does disorder loom? Are we prey to some destructive underground chaos? How do we take back control; prevent the world and our own existence from crumbling? Science is searching for the answer but the creators in this section, some of whom are themselves practitioners of science or technology, are all too aware of the terrible imprecisions, the fateful margins of error that become wide-open doors for a devil seeking out the tiniest crack. Some spend a lifetime trying to perfect a calculation, solve the supposedly unsolvable equation, discover the magic formula, the foolproof strategy, invent extraordinary machines and tools with which to measure the invisible. Their logic is one of systems whose vocabulary they employ, multiplying formulas, lists, figures and equations — many of which they invent. Their works form scrupulously organised closed circuits whose inner coherency suffices. Any “aesthetically structured” whole holds legal force against an unknown evil. These creators call on science, but also blur the boundaries between science and art.
