Incipient Spheres of the Exploding Connectome



Incipient Spheres
benjamin harubin 2024
7" x 10" x 4"
acrylic, found objects, black LED, gallon can



suppose we all feel it

life and death

sorrow and joy

in all the cells of the global organism

the people over there

on the other side of this nascent blob.


we felt it in the mediums

chemical electrical magnetic media.


you don't even need ETs or deities

you can encode information in a connected intelligent system

in any number of ways.


everything leaves a trace

even before the internet was born

even before prokaryote was born.


listen all ye

we are in the jelly

in the aether of ALL of US.


the jelly wiggles

and it's wiggling so much we can hardly find any wiggle room

like a tragic bark upon a romantic painting.


but listen all ye

if you can receive 

you can also transmit    !


the art: 

it clearly shows the incipient Spheres bathed in cold dark dusty plasma

surrounded by the ejected crust of its former existence.
