    AMASS

    I took to watching low-res wrestling videos on YouTube.  I would pause the video periodically, and the grappling bodies would blur in pixels and color, indistinguishable masses.  I would un-pause and the forms would reestablish themselves and separate.

     

    I liked to imagine that all this was really happening--for a split second their boundaries collapsed and blended-- so quickly that only the machine could perceive it.
