Text

Home is a machine that consists of many, mutually interacting mechanisms. The most important ones are the bed, the screen and the chair. They are the most active and demanding elements of the entire system. In order to function correctly, they require regular presence of the human body. Sleeping, sitting, looking Home is a permanent machine, whereas the human body serves as the variable component. The body undergoes various deformations. It is decomposed into individual parts, to be then reassembled in different configurations. The machine tests different combinations of the body with other mechanisms. Some arrangements are wrong, while others start to function correctly after some time. When do we fall asleep, we don't know The chair is gazing at the hands, illuminated by the blue screen The bed is patiently waiting. So many things left to do Time's swirling with a smile, flashing its menacing fangs. A council is held at home: The eye, the hand, and the chair are the most important organs. A correctly formed body is very comfortable and loyal. It spends most of its time at home, engaging regularly in cooperation with individual mechanisms. It is exclusive, it does not require contact with other bodies to thrive. It becomes a function with a definite life span, after which the process of forming / programming will have to start anew.
