When the diversity of cultural critiques multiplies to the point where the mind can no longer comprehend, then it's time to sweep the playing field clean of contaminates. In Amoeba Culture, the new culture races like a wild-fire disease throughout the world establishing the simple parameters of a new paradigm of existence.

La notion de la maladie en tant que culture se faufile à travers une parodie des structures du langage post-moderne. Pastiche d'images manipulées numériquement, qui finit par ressembler à une narration.
