>> D In SONAR[SPACE] NO-BODY navigates through streams of data and information generated by observations of reality. This seven minutes enduring odyssey shifts high-techology methodic of observation- and decoding into an ideograph for the Big Eyes and Big Ears. In a desert-landscape, and in a devoid of humans, stationed radiotelescopes concenter permanently new receiving spots in space, while sonartechnologies transmit auditiv signatures from over- and underwaterworlds. NO-BODY travels bodiless through dense perception-levels, and interchanges identities by every re-emersion, among human and high-technology, among reality and fiction. NO-BODY is: artist, author, anthropologist, technologist, astronaut, aeronaut, aquanaut, softwareprogrammer, supercomputer, dreamer, realist, physicist, astronomer, oceanologist, observer, (...). NO-BODY accomplishes a continuum and dialog –with the self– while switching identities, contexts and times, which altogether are to be located in the present as well as in the universal dualistic ultimate principles – effects precede causes, action creates reaction, (...). The recurring question according to definition and cognition of reality is leading NO-BODY's time-travel into an observation of emptiness, when a telescope finds itself mirrored in a feedback-loop and starts to vanish in the circulating datastreams into the ether. At the beginning and in the end of the odyssey, circles are closing in a noise of coded data-streams of reality – the end begins in the middle, at the end starts the beginning –, NO-BODY, 2010.
