Atlantis Construct

the name of the artist's muse is not muse; she is called techne.

t.w.a.


HAPPY NAUTIS
– and powerful starships surged there, gleaming, trembling -disconsolately searching for heroes, deeds, for riches, for humans, hurrying between exotic sounding suns in the distant provinces of the peripheral galactic boredom. Courage was resolute, still unbroken in those days – the risk was still great and real men, real women still existed, and happy little nautis were still real, happy little nautis.

Either the climate was not quite that which it should have been on that late afternoon decade

– the day was long, half an hour long – or images of forbidden biogenous wishes lay in the unimaginable waves of the little crystalline animals.

– the marine crystal did not have and was not given the correct, soothing soft pink.

– blue.
This is how, somewhere in the galactic museum – terra – the humanoid condition was created for a fantastically primitive, new industry - the genetic confusion of happy nautis. Pets with their own and foreign programs, soft and hard, luminescent, trivial, curious and mirror-crazy.
blue,
blue by special requests,
a blue current
and no more pink …
