We became aware of a space in which there was just the apex of a pyramid.... then realized over a period of years that the apex was actually one corner of a cube. Many years pass by, and we become conscious of a blob growing on the lower corner of the cube, which had been the original apex corner. As the blob grows, we realize that it's our brain... and some years later we realize other people are there too...
BC came up with a writing mechanism which led to the discovery of the blobs.
The blobs are not text: the writing was more like blob coding.
The blob is form turned outward, to space and other interiors.
Blobs are also self-guided, a way of steering the work in time
Other words we used a lot during our work: ad infinitum, incarcerated, portal, virtual reality, human, hole, poster, door, avatar, quarantine, Meetka, meme, limited, dumb, diagram, space, body, NPC, brick, Google, gaga.
We said, Instead of form we say “for me” and, I want you to give me this power to you.
Meetka is a neighbor who became our model and the blob’s new body.
In the park with Meetka, we thought about doing VR without goggles.
Blobs are real
Posters are how we enter and exit a blob. They are portals.
words we kept removing from the work : quarantine, avatar, COVID, 5G, prisoner, writing, text, VR
