The Lair of the Marrow Monkey
The Lair of the Marrow Monkey is an interactive investigation into the seductive power of digital technology. The website’s main focus falls on a single character who goes by the name of Orion17. Orion is a minimalist composer who is fascinated to the point of obsession with the patterns and logic that frame reality. “I would leave all this in a moment if I could be the marrow, the idea, the virus, the entry whose self is not corporeal,” he explains. When a powerful vision shows him the way to archieve his dream of uniting with the world of abstraction, Orion makes the leap and joins a small team of researchers at the newly-founded Institute of Investigation into the Mind of Marrow. There, he experiences first-hand both the euphoria and the frustration that comes from living life as a “marrow monkey.”
