About
EtherAxis is an interactive game installation and reflection tool aiming to challenge the inner paradigms that shape our perception of realities. The physical relic that forms the base for this game shape-shifts in different contexts. The structure of the gameboard emphasises four main axes, each connected to multiple ancient symbols of alchemy, hacked to uncover their original meanings. In this constellation of four interlaced geographic grids, the dreamer wanders through bridging fields on a spatiotemporal axis. Throughout the Overkill, EtherAxis lures you into the streets to find its messages hidden in plain sight, stepping over to the worlds floating in the ether.
EtherAxis is the result of an ongoing collaboration between Camilo García A., Emilia Tapprest, Erik Peters, Federico Poni, Louisa Teichmann & Victor Evink, as part of the Hamburger Community of Live & Art trajectory of Roodkapje, with performances by Queer Arcana.

WebSocket is a computer communications protocol, providing full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection. The WebSocket protocol was standardized by the IETF as RFC 6455 in 2011, and the WebSocket API in Web IDL is being standardized by the W3C.
fungi are a bio communications protocol, providing full-duplex communication channels over a single animal-animal connection. body modification

3 SILICIO
AI Tech automation human not an obsolete entity, but upgraded humans ft cyber stuff and viceversa different kind of brains/computers, stuff that we cannot get the essence froim cause the prtocols and bio-architecure are completely different from Internet of Things to bioNetwork of Entities internet of beings build society from the same technologies could be ok the porblems are the protocols/purposes/goals
There is a legend that says Funix brought the The Device from this world to ours.
