Dawn. Through the mist, morning's early light arises. But a stronger one stands out. It's a wildfire that spreads in the distance. From her home, in the top of the mount, a worried woman faces the flames. But it's not the proximity of danger that troubles her. Inside her house, her daughter sleeps, indifferent to the smoke that enters her room.
Visions of past decades haunt him. His one eye, centered in his head, swivels schizophrenic, not knowing what to focus on. Connected to the past and the future by the same cable, information overflows and metamorphoses into something timeless. Fragments, colors, images, violence, pleasure appear. The system is pushed to its limit, countdown to meltdown. Frequencies intersect, add, subtract. The RGB translation subsystem starts to focus on a single spectrum, a final electronic spasm to prevent self-destruction. 666 THz. The color spectral comparison program is started to determine the signal. Blue.
“Time is that which ends. Time is limited time experienced by a sentient creature. Sentient of time, that is – making adjustments to time in terms of what Korzybski calls neuro-muscular intention behaviour with respect to the environment as a whole..." - William S. Burroughs. As a time indexing device, it's capabilities are limited to a finite quantity of space over which it pairs images to time codes. However, a strange element disrupts the circuit, a ghost, a Thing, an imperfect double which overcodes the space that the device travels. So, a time accident specific to this technical apparatus is created where two different temporalities compete for the same space, the electronic limbo where a temporal chimera coalesces.
