"An evolutionary fever dream. Futurist, post apocalyptic . . . . Animated collage emerging from fluid becomings. Evolution - evolution as the uncontainability of change which is located in the destabilization of relations between the concrete and the imagined. Science fiction is produced out of cultural necessity- a liminal presence that inhabits prediction and flux, resisting definition and containment. Science fiction and technology are tools, as magic is, for transformation." - Mer Maggie Roberts

The body count climbs through a series of globewars. Emergent Planetary Commercium trashes the Holy Roman Empire, the Napoleonic Continental System, the Second and Third Reich, and the Soviet International, cranking-up world disorder through compressing phases. Deregulation and the state arms-race each other into cyberspace. By the time soft-engineering slithers out of its box into yours, human security is lurching into crisis. Cloning, lateral genodata transfer, transversal replication, and cyberotics, flood in amongst a relapse onto bacterial sex. Neo-China arrives from the future. Hypersynthetic drugs click into digital voodoo. Retro-disease. Nanospasm. Deleuzoguattarian schizoanalysis comes from the future.

The piece 9006 is designed to manifest the virtual processes of the digital aesthetic on screen, extended as actual yet invisible physical process outside of screen space, embodied through sound.

Murmur 1-8 is a SYZYGY avatar. It is a spirit of immersion and depths, signaling or ushering in a collapse between far outside and deep within. Our avatars were elemental.
