"It's just going to get weirder, and weirder, and weirder, when finally, it will be so weird, that people will have to talk about how weird it is" - Terence McKenna, 1998

HYPERNORMALITY

Well, McKenna... it got weird. Our world has evolved into absurdity. Innovations that continuously push both utopian and dystopian extremes have learned to slip under the veil of our normality. We live in an age, in which the "hyper" has turned "normal".

Each audio-sculpture is a metaphorical artefact of such topics, posing as a “product” of our time. By bringing our bizarre modern habits into question, we might stand a chance at pricking a hole through their eccentric, synthetic camouflage.
