raah i guess we're all robots now huh! This is my first foray into vispo and it's sick af, super punchy and powerful, there was a real momentum building throughout, and by the end it leaves your head spinning! I only wish the author's post-script had been at the start, so when you get to the end your ideas can tumble out freely instead of being funnelled into a definitive explanation - but maybe that's the point? We're all re-interpreting the world for each other, all communication is aligning one person's reality more with your own, we're all swaying in the half-light of a fading free will....

Oh man what an interesting read. Tortuous and stressful in all the right ways. Communicates very well the arbitrariness of language n meaning alongside these wild visuals of stick men being ripped apart inside a computer. Sonically very industrial with lots of clinks and clanks. The reading experience is kinda like being trapped inside a poem factory, crawling through the vents. Like my friend Dan I too kinda wish the artist's statement had been at the beginning rather than the end but what I DID like about that was it forced me to read it twice
