Once upon a time beyond the seven seas there were borders. Borders of knowing and borders of unknown. What a strange word border is. It has its both positive and negative conotation. Without more content explanation borders are ephemeral, not clear, indefinite.

Do I know where is my beginning and where is my end? Is my borderline in my physical body, my intimate zone or energetic field? What are my borders in virtual space? Where is the borderline of my physical existence and of my mind? And who is defining these borderlines? Are they anyhow defined, by the way?

How do I know as from where it is not me anymore?

If I know, who I am, I am also able recognize if I change. If I change because I want to, consciously. If I change unconsciously, without realising it, responding to outside factors or pressure.

What means do I use for self-recongnition? What are the means my surrounding uses to communicate? Until what extent are these means similar and different?

Speaking about surrounding, which one is close and which one is distant? How big surrounding must be to be crucial for me? What is actually meant by surrounding? What are possible channels through which the surrounding gets closer to me?

I am sure that to be able to communicate with myself I do not need any special technology. To communicate with my surrounding, whatever surrounding may mean, I use technologies. The question is whether the technology is still a mean or the purpose itself? Is it accelerator, unifying element, identification, status feature, jewellery, fashionable piece? Is technology just our mimicry? Where is my essence? In the physical world or the virtual one? One day my body melts away, who will take care of myself in the virtual world? Can anybody inherit my virtual identity?

Software cannot exist without hardware. Can hardware exist without software? What is the meaning of the empty hardware?

It is quite symbolic that technology sneaks into my art through the very base – circuit base. I am at the very beginning of this investigation. Enjoy the tasting sample, the raut follows.
