We see the world through our eyes, peculiar to our species, Homo Sapiens. I didn’t want to start here pretending I know exactly how another intelligence translates the world, so I opted for a deconstruction \u2013 loosely based on how a fly perceives the world \u2013 of our own field of view. From focus to proximity.
\nJeff Brundle and a fly fuse to become Brundlefly. A beech lacks fiber structures in its early years and becomes a weeping beech. An absence is also a kind of presence. In this context, metamorphosis can be reduced to a simple process. An entity goes through an ordinary evolution until it is influenced by an external entity. At that point, the evolutionary path turns towards another space, somewhere extra-ordinary.
\nSomething has come in. What happens cannot be placed within the expectations of such an entity. Ordinary -> extra-ordinary.
\nYou are no longer alone here. The ordinary entity loses (part of) its control over itself. There is a battle between different outcomes. Or a collaboration, choose for yourself how you look at it. In any case, you have to share, to depend on an external entity that has come in.
\nIt pushes itself into every corner, everywhere. How do you shape possibilities? How does such a space work? Those are all kinds of things I don’t know. I can only let myself be led by something else, to somewhere else.
\nIt has a different perspective. I wanted to translate this digital process into analog actions. Actions in which I sometimes (read: often) have to behave passively, to give control to the other. I’ve had that feeling quite often in my life. I never choose how I feel about everything and everyone around me, it just happens to me. And it always changes.<\/p>\n
