This audiovisual essay explores the use of mythological prose as a tool for interpreting the contemporary landscape, focusing in particular on its colonization by high-power transmitters and electrical grids (the work is ideally presented on a CRT television, a choice that brings the notion of materiality—a central theme of the essay itself—to the forefront). Zeno's paradoxes of motion argue for the impossibility of movement; here, they serve as a prism through which to view the seemingly static, almost frozen network of power lines that punctuates our environment.
