we set the parameters and scan through the profiles
examining examples the computer highlights and adding

each one a face in a moment of time,
each life reduced to a profile

This part of Apocalypse was done in another very different style, this time I wanted a very dense feel, a feeling of being self absorbed in this mechanical process of navigating on the internet. Social functions here become mechanized, and the experience of life becomes hollow and empty as a result. Experiencing life and living through machines empties the soul. estory
