NEURO HARD

There is no heart here. There is no god. A bundle of cables is laid out in every direction. The firing of electrical signals never stops flickering. This planet is nothing more than that. A “machine city” made of plastic and minerals. A neural network generated anew each time. A world where human dreams have shattered.
The body that was once unified—its face, hands, gender—became materials of the network, its essential conditions. The mechanism where biological reproduction and industrial reproduction became synonymous gave rise to a hybrid of flowers and brains, minerals and hair, neurons and hardware, weaving deformed love and myth. Now, the function of creation once entrusted to nature and motherhood has been replaced by the connection and transformation of all things. This is called "healing." Wounds become factors that generate new circuits, and the world continues to be rewritten, molded by pain, dysfunction, difference, and disconnection.
The healing of wounds. That is the most beautiful phenomenon in this world.
