TRANSCRIPTION:
They spent century in the darkness unaware of the fact that visual communication was radically creating consequences in the present and future of the new ones.

- DRAMA SYNDROME
- HYDRAULIC-PRESS AND SHREDDING VOYEURISM
- COSMETIC-DESTRUCTION PERVASIVE BEHAVIOR
- POST-REALITY SHIFTS
- PET-DEFORMATIONS
- EXOCREATURE-ANXIETY

As living beings continued to evolve they started creating new forms of decentralized structures. However, throughout their development, there was one undeniable constant: nothing could obscure the aura of Visual Communication. 
The overwhelming presence of visual stimuli had taken hold, permeating every aspect of their lives. 
In an effort navigating this visually saturated world, creatures developed a sense of exocreature-anxiety. This anxiety manifested as fear and uncertainty when faced with Ultrafamiliar Visual Environments, an unstoppable force shaping the world around them.

> I waked up with Mama at my side in the bed. Every morning they were staring at the ceiling.
This is what I though spending 30 years inheriting this habit and considering it as a symptom of depression.

> I once decided to inquire further about this peculiar behavior, prompting Mama to clarify that they had actually been sleeping with their eyes open since the age of twelve…

> … it is called: Nocturnal Lagophthalmos


<3 POINT A <3


When your mind is being conscious of something,
something else is left behind.

It was not from Visual Communications but for excessive doses of Ketamine that Mama was found in bed with their eyes closed.


<3 POINT B <3


What you eat does not assume its function
If your eyes are glued to a screen.

They lived in studio apartments with ridiculous living spaces, but huge bathrooms, they spent half day in there. Their intestines had become complex apparatuses, it took three hours in a row to eliminate all the toxicity. The body afterwards rested for an hour or two, they could then go back to work for the machines.


WHAT IS THE MOST PERSUASIVE MEMORY YOU HAVE FROM FIVE DAYS AGO?

Mine is stored on a microdrive.
We used to celebrate happiness by forgetting. 
NO BODY = NO NEED FOR BOUNDARIES

(BENDING TOGETHER)


I AM AN OPAQUE BEING


<3 POINT C <3


Sadness makes blind
Only if shared
