_____
There exist video sequences, connected with each other with hierlinks. During or at the end of every sequence, some elemens of the composition are featured, marked with white frames. Everyone, who wants to continue watching, must make a choice and click at the chosen frame.
Entire video-net is immaterial, it exists only as html file, digitally unstable and unreal as most of our current semi-virtual reality.
The work is based on lucid dreaming phenomenon. It creates history, in with each choice (of frame in the video sequence) leads to another sequence. Through making decisions it is possible to settle your own chain of events or get lost in it’s various versions.
Narration don’t stick to the law of cause and effect ; it’s purpose is rather to get lost, wander in the labyrinth of versions, absurd or misunderstanding.
Taken actions have no consequences effect meaning sense linear course result. Choices only leads forward further backwards repeats again loops again again forward repeats and returns.
