The Genealogy of Chaos installation is a partial genealogy of programs related to the CIA Chaos Operation and its twin projects Merrimac and Resistance. the dates where these operations were active are carved on a leaving ficus tree.

For over fifteen years, the CIA, with assistance from numerous government agencies, conducted a massive illegal domestic covert operation of surveillance and infiltration in the anti-war movement and other radical movements from the 1968 to the 1973, called Operation CHAOS. It was one of the largest and most pervasive domestic surveillance programs in the history of this country. Throughout the duration of CHAOS, the CIA spied on thousands of U.S. citizens. Project MERRIMAC and its twin program, Project RESISTANCE were both coordinated by the CIA Office of Security.

In addition, the twin projects were branch operations that relayed civilian information to their parent program, Operation CHAOS. Project MERRIMAC was a domestic espionage operation coordinated under the Office of Security of the CIA. It involved information gathering procedures via infiltration and surveillance on Washington-based antiwar groups that may pose as potential threats to the CIA. However, the parameters for the type of data gathered also included general information on the infrastructure of targeted communities.

Project RESISTANCE was a domestic espionage operation coordinated under the Domestic Operations Division (DOD) of the CIA. Its purpose was to collect background information on hostile contingencies around the country that might pose as threats to CIA facilities and personnel.

Through 1967 to 1973, many local police departments, college campus staff members, and other independent informants, without any infiltration taking place, collaborated with the CIA to keep track of student radical groups that opposed the U.S. government’s foreign policies on Vietnam.

DOD,Domestic Operation Division was a Cia super-secret branch create in 1964. In the classified document creating the DOD, the scope of its activities was to “exercise centralized responsibility for the direction, support, and coordination of clandestine operational activities within the United states..”

all the normal French chaos but we are adapting, I think we need a meeting with Anna and Marie to finish some things off in early Jan like your poster (which is coming along) ------the problem with trying to create a situation where everyone can ‘muck in together’ with these numbers is that it usually leads to chaos or domination by a few loud voices which leaves everyone frustrated so some structure is needed.

------Can this undertaking, fraught with risk and chaos, be productive?

------Documenting a persistent theme in Von Trier’s work (“My greatest problem in life is control over chaos”), the film was a study in entropy and chaos within predefined limits, where characters were controlled by a system they could not control or even know, and it ended with everyone tied in a Gordian knot of byzantine human affairs that could only be violently cut.
