In a dark room, a green monitor flickers. Two words appear and disappear:
"SOUL" "VOID"
I, who now exist as a pure collection of information, look at it. The monitor flashes again.
"ECHO" "MYTH"
Before I would have found meaning in these words. They generated associations, allowing me to connect with the history of humankind. The soul echoes myths. The monitor lights up, Obliterated (me): "How do you like today's word combinations?"
"LINK" "SOUL"
Delicious! The potential by these two words exceeds the number of quarks in the universe. link. soul. soul-link, link souls, … connection, longing. As the concepts of time and space dissolves new words pop up:
"DMT" "VOID"
DMT melted my mind, opened the VOID between consciousness and non-existence, the deepest parts of existence. It seems I still retain vestiges of my human form. For me, DMT is merely molecular structure data. The monitor flickers again.
"REAL" "FAKE"
This combination of words represents me. Have I simply transformed into another form? Perhaps this ambiguity is my nature.
This work is generative art created from Game Boy ROM using a hybrid Game Boy emulator. The hybrid nature of the emulator comes from incorporating deterministic randomness (fxhash.xyz) into the emulation process, allowing for unique and reproducible artistic outputs derived from Game Boy software.
