Loved the experience!

Each sequence and their subsequent sequence of images projected for me as if in a hologram.

I'm gettin' me some ooze

Thanks so much Pablo! Like Andy Futuro did recently in our Midnight Vault collection, I conceived of this originally as a kind of comic strip. I'd still love to see a few panels drawn by a great comic artist. Jon T was kind enough to make the GIF for me back around a year ago when I first showed him the piece.

I can definitely see this as a comic. The gif is an effective visual, specially at the beginning, and would be cool at the end again as well. Cool piece from start to finish.

Love that it doesn't remind me of anything else.

this is so awesome and weird and strange :D -- "As above so below." I love the words most of all but also man that melting GIF at the top is sending strong Indiana Jones Nazi face-melting and I love it !!!

Thanks so much Elie, that image comes courtesy of my good pal Jon T, and if you like this kind of thing I'd also recommend the collaborative short series we did together called Vestiges... lotsa grimy slimy stuff in that

I dont have words...yes...ME...SANS MOTS... i have however become acutely aware that i have sliced open my tongue sucking too hard on an aniseed lozenge and now all i can taste is my blood.

i bet you could rhyme something with lozenge couldn't you A.P. you are so inventive it defies understanding.

Thank you so much Nick, watch out for those sharp sweeties, and when you get older you'll find that day-old baguette crusts also become a major mouth hazard.

Challenge accepted on the rhyme, let's see...

He sucks hard and tastes blood and sugar -

lacerations of boiled shards of lozenge.

An oracle of doom for those who augur

on the bloodstained altar of Stonehenge
