[ BODY TOOK ] is an immersive meditation on spectacle, abjection, and the uncanny intimacy of witnessing something that emerges only to disrupt, then withers. Viewers navigate a fractured digital landscape—an unstable ruin where organic and synthetic collapse—while a disembodied voice reflects on the corpse flower, a rare bloom that mimics the scent of rotting flesh. Eventually, the viewer encounters the flower herself: an artifact of a world in ceaseless becoming, both ancient and newly born. This is not just an experience, but a ritual of becoming—an invitation to witness, to embody, and to dissolve into the speculative remains of a future in bloom and decay.

[ TIME COILS ] is born from an endless process of resampling, recomposition, and of learning. Each singular track from the album shares subtle connections with their counterparts, in addition to LOREM’s prior projects. The album is imbued with global cultural correspondence and reimagined connections sourced from a wide range of references, inviting the listener on an engaging quest to uncover hidden meaning and secret datasets. The album is a reflection on the essence of intertextuality, and nudges us towards a transpersonal approach where identity is no longer anchored in originality, but is rather shaped by the myriad of relationships forged with the world around us. The richness of 'Time Coils' can also be credited in part to several of LOREM's longtime collaborators: Manchester-based producer Acre [Tectonics, PAN] and Italian sound artist and researcher Luca Pagan.tion as biological life wherever in the universe it can be found. LOREM @lorem_____ is an individual/multiple identity working across sound and media by exploring states of consciousness and emotional datasets through visceral narrative AV experiences. After several years of research in the field of Machine Learning for the arts, LOREM has begun to expand the boundaries of their research, developing a unique sonic and visual language, a product of the convergence of diverse approaches. LOREM has collaborated with artists such as Danny Elfman, Blixa Bargeld, MAEID Bureau, and Mario Klingemann, with work shown at Ars Electronica, Biennale di Venezia, London Design Biennale, Berlin Transmediale, NXT Museum, and more. LOREM is directed by Francesco D’Abbraccio - co-director of Krisis Publishing - an editorial and curatorial platform focusing on the impact of media culture on contemporary contexts.
