In a world:  A video about actualization and integration. A crisis of individuality, subjectivity, and agency. A being embeded into an incredibly complex network of matter, energy, and information. What is even in this Building? Must be important. Navigating instinctually as a part that may never be known to most of the whole. The accumulative conditions of individuation, insecurity, reocurrence of isolation and powerlessness. Floating through, wondering why. How do I fit into this? Led to wander, not knowing where to land. What could any of this have to do with me? What is all this even for? A butterfly flutters over a river that bends collecting the litter of decades: nail seperators, a couple bottles of mountain dew, iced coffee cups, a childs basketball, a drawstring backpack, candy wrappers. Leading to lakes, over foot bridges, under train overpasses, on to larger waters. To the Ocean flying over expanses of deep dark water, passing freighters, ships that have sunk deep below. Moving forward on its way down landing on an oil rig. Freedom is doubt. Paradise is lost.
