I wanted to show that what we call “device” is already a reflex carved into matter — the wood’s grain acting like nerve and bus at once. I built a hyper-detailed cross‑section of magnetic wood that drags iron filings into branching vortices, then forced the edges to dissolve so every filament exits the frame; a monochrome field with one bleeding carmine accent stages the ecstatic vertigo of the boundary falling away. In the central overlap, I stacked pre‑event residue, the live field snap, and the cooling post‑scar so they recursively overwrite; here, the scan seam doesn’t blend — it corrects and corrupts simultaneously, and you feel a new capability click on like suddenly seeing ultraviolet.
