//Space. The final frontier.
Above us. Around us. Within us.
We have always looked at the stars to discover who we are.//
(STAR TREK: Discovery)
Considering the World Wide Web as an infinite place composed of an infinite number of microscopic fragments- just like space. The WWW represents an expanding -not to recognized scale- cosmos of digital thoughts, transmedia narratives. We are constantly seeking ways to express ourselves in this parallel virtual space. Meanwhile, humans are looking for ways to explore the universe. To expand. To justify their existence. For, Space is vast and its darkness is deep. Humans neglect this fact by getting lost in their manufactured parallel space; the internet.
Countless messages are flowing in the stream of the “internet”. A “milky way” of information, and somewhere in there lies your thought, your message, your digital identity. A spherical artifact in the form of a dark celestial object gathers a cloud of thoughts visualized as grey matter particles. For, while the natural world remains unpredictable in a profound way, it is composed of patterns and structure. Tweet a specific thought with the #space hashtag and a “star” will light up pointing to the position of your thought inside a reactive sphere of information.
