Description
POLAR WINDOW series 2006 - 2015 (In Progress) :
Synthetic Diaries of Illusion: the circle of transfiguration is infinite.

POLE A :
“That which did not exist in the past and will not exist in the future has no existence of its own while it lasts.… Whatever is created and revealed by something else is ultimately only that other thing”.
(Bhagavatam 11.28.19, 21)

POLE B :
"In Nevermotion Land - a infamous one dimensional world - all that a person would be able to see would be a point, because everything is just a line. In fact, some people would say that you couldn't even see that - because nothing has height or width. Whereas walking through the Uncanny Valley - a infamous no dimensional world - all that one could see would be a void, or again, since nothing has vacuum, nothing. (See figure 1 for Nevermotion Land Map and Figure 2 for roboticist Masahiro Mori's theory of the uncanny )".
("Thiefs in the Chaos Riding the Render Machine", Frank Normal 2011)
