Silent Lattice

The void not as the self fading away, but as a switch you play — your familiar world goes dark and an invisible alien architecture ignites and re-assembles in its place.

Press Begin, then touch and hold the field. A calm isometric grid answers your touch directly. Keep contact — more fingers press harder — and dissociation depth climbs past the switch: the grid fragments, an impossible Escher machine ignites in its place, and your touch decouples, its answer sliding far off into the machine. Release to come back. Left it alone? It plays itself. Sound on; no mic, no camera.
