A researcher is stuck in a continuous loop on an unknown, alarmingly active, disorienting planet. On this planet, information alternates at an incomprehensible speed. It has become an unstable “machine engine”, a mystical being that chases its own tail. A sensory overload occurs, as a result of which everything different seems uniform and everything new – mundane.
“In the beginning there was data,
today there is data,
tomorrow there will be data.
Who can create an image of data?
It has no body.
It is a word that comes out of the mouth.
That word.
Is no more.
It is in the past, but still lives.”
