A machine withdraws into its core memory drive as it surrenders into expiration. Amidst the clouds, a reverbing sound of Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska’s ‘A Maiden’s Prayer’, embedded upon by predecessing weavers, manufacturers and programmers plays in loop. Upon its wake, it rebirths into a rhopalocera. The work examines the concepts of time and expiration from the viewpoint of a rhopalocera. The work employs screenshots of essays, articles and lores that are knots to the keyword ‘malayo-polynesia’; interspersed with stock and generated images as a prompt in questioning on the dependence of technology, visuality and methods in web mining amplifying on the generated, degenerating and re-generating energies that art-making is dependent upon.
Written by fyerool darma, sound composed and arranged by mr. jalee, Megisba and berukera. It contains a tune of Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska's Maiden's Prayer played by Waklu Daki on a Sonoma 14.5 iOS System, Garageband midikeys of 'Scroll & Glissant’ plugins. Text design and animated by Darius Ou (Studio Darius Ou) of a poem orated by Erik M. Flower fka Mohamed Hadji Abdurahim, edited by cinotiUHD. Contains stock images alongside generated images with Stable Diffusion, and screenshots of essays, articles, news, memes, reels - literatures interwoven with the keyword ‘malayo-polynesia’ on the archives of web 2.0, jstor amongst others, generated by cinotiUHD.
