Techno Terrapin, or, Virtual Wonders at MUTEK22

Jello, by Adonia Bouchehri
  1. A liminal experience that frustrates
  2. Burnt to a crisp work faster with the minerals
    The swift descent into the Valley of the Ashes, sounds ricochetting; it is not pleasant but it is not, not
  3. A reprieve in the O Ring — the tin sounds of the Cosmos

  4. Wait is this actually just a bunch of hot dogs?




  5. “The multiplex of worlds within worlds within worlds”
    An attribute by any other name
  6. You count the syllables and it’s not what you think it is
    Stage folly made from the encrypted—
  7. Like looking into the eye of the Impossible
    Limits of experience staggering and reeling again, pushing at sentient meniscus
  8. A Sisyphean climb-tumble-climb-tumble into interwoven dimensions
  9. “Who or what is doing the spying?”



  10. A feeling of fear sets in at the precipice of the unknown
  11. Have you seen the movie The Descent? It’s just like it but entirely different
  12. Awash with the feeling of the Utterly Sublime
    Wheels cranking in the Big Rays pouring over the tile



  13. “Creating this pattern which pleases me
    (I do admit, it has a certain force)
    All slippages are contained, and don’t go far, but they do happen.”
  14. (Traversing nebulae as a burning star)
  15. Beneath the meniscus now bobbing up as if a magnet
    Steely undertow of corralled air
  16. A water jug that looks like glass, shards littering the floor
  17. Delicious glossolalic, so watery, watery
    The swarm descending like an embrace



  18. A title that is automatically ominous
  19. (“Considering the role of a server as a place“)
    Remember how the click of one NFT can equal the energy use required for hours of flight travel? Crazy,
    Annihilating all of these falling leaves with all of this digital flotsam
  20. Something about how the Game no longer exists once you enter into Reality
  21. “I’M GONNA MAKE A CHANGE FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE!
    Burnt meat and an endless journey!
    FEEL OUR POWER!
    —I have always been there.”



  22. Jump scares run amuck.
    “In order to grow, you must moult.”
