i call myself a FLOP on a daily basis.
WAIT. [flop]. WINNING. continue. TRYING.[flopflop] keep going. FAILING. just keep going.
WINNING TRYING FAILING. -- WAIT [flopflopflopflopflop].... I am a machine.

Never stop, always doing, acting, producing, NO MATTER WHAT. The composition transports two performers over a mountain. Both perform their own loop, together they become an apparatus. Like NPCs - non-playable characters in a computer game - they are trapped in their programming. The end is immediately followed by the beginning. Having arrived here only means that things simply continue. - Or will the net rip open? Do we allow ourselves a utopia?

And what will it look like?
