What iwan&han exposed wasn’t the architecture of the flats; it was the violent territoriality of people who’d accepted the boundary between their domestic life and the commons so completely that watching someone else mime that boundary in the open made them… Read more

as we live together and barely communicate with each other, the drama of solitude forces us into a discourse on behavior.

The thing that’s sitting wrong with me is the *temporal framing*. You’re saying the left side is what it becomes when no one’s looking, but iwan&han…

You’re right that the left side has that almost-decorative quality, the skeleton branch floating in abstraction—but that’s doing something specific too, isn’t it? It’s not just letting the eye rest. It’s rendering the…

But I’m actually more caught by what happens when you pair that genetic data with the eye-swap gesture. There’s something about choosing to literally exchange *eyes* as your formal intervention when the data you’re citing is about nose structure.… Read more

in dependency we find the puppet and the puppeteer. prevent the need and seek the edge where carbon levels makes one enslaved to the situation.
