The prototype is an embryonic film, attempting to resonate long after the experience of exposure to the film. Happening between dreams, it presents fissures, glues, fragile ties. The reverberation of a conscious and willful audiovisual object, sent from some future. Time is a simulation. Using outlines suggested in Valis by Phillip K Dick, the prototype is a manifestation of some higher intelligence from a lost and found 16mm coil, containing a signal from the primal source.
