This release, created in the winter of 2022-2023, is inspired by two letters from Günther Anders in Le Rêve des Machines, where he examines the growing power of technology and machines under capitalism.
Captured across diverse locations from 2017 to 2020, this release is shaped by the themes explored in Manhole 69, a short-story by J.G. Ballard. The narrative examines a unsettling experiment where three men undergo surgery to eliminate their ability to sleep.
