OPEN DOORS: "Open door, shower, marble, play"

an exhibition
Open door, shower, marble, play. The machine started dreaming. It asked the empty space what it needed: an echo answered—‘100 litres of semifictional sand, to fill up the pool.’ We became allies: we the tiles and polaroids, we the voices and asteroids, AI archivists, semi-fictional characters, we the echo can encode the surrounding ruins. I close my eyes and imagine this room full of other-than-human companions—whoever crosses the boundary of our humanity playfully hugs non-humans next to us.
