Tera Nullius

Nobody never gets to heaven and nobody gets no land. Terra nullius is the «geological» activity of a software entity, in the disembodied and abstract nature of a computer system. This activity creates the variables of its orography, whose movement can be well-read in turn as sound variables. This micro/macro universe is observed/listened from the intimacy of an alien eye/ear that attends (without any intervention) to its natural evolution. Inside an infinite scale, a minimal, uninhabitable, and impossible landscape gets created and destroyed, thanks to the fragile balance between opposite forces. Before, the Gods offered us the Promised Land; Now the promise is offered by machines, and their land is digital.
