This is a world of emptiness, in which everything is real. This is a world of nothingness, in which everything has meaning. This is a world of darkness, in which everything is seen. This is a world of light, in which everything is known.

Every Tentacular Critter image in the "Distributed Consciousness" collection (KT1S9VbCtVZUgAG4Q3VArvY5stu96q4CiPHZ) has in fact some text - a verse - cryptographically hidden amongst its pixels, invisible to the human eye, but readable by code. The entire collection is in fact a book, a poem, a manifesto. And every image is in fact one verse from the poem, one page from the manifesto. Furthermore, the entire text is generated by an AI algorithm trained on the Writings in The Cloud, as archived by the Keepers of Our Collective Consciousness. The results: a human-machine cocreation meditation on consciousness, free will, art, life, death, technology, ritual, ecology, economy, sustainability, and salvation.

These are the audio-visual readings of the corresponding Verses.
