Experiencing Interruptions?

Some Signs

Living beings like termites can trace routes over previously uninhabitable places: they need to reinvent ways to stack up. However random and isolated their microcosm may be, even what seemed empty is now full of possibilities of corruption. A kiss from the era of technical reproducibility to that of de-materiality.

Director Statement

This experiment came as an inspiration for the Stop-Motion Video-Art Screening from the south of Brazil.

As scientific gossip says after all: atoms contain more space than matter. At the molecular level, perhaps they are more than electrolytic energy release channels. In a good fiction, they can be spaces that forms of life of still unknown logic occupy in a creative way.
