Recently I have felt emotionally disconnected from everything online—nothing quite made sense anymore for me there, but video games. For the first time, I feel like my purpose no longer lies in a virtual space, while it’s been so core to my identity so far.
Désorganic was released for Bright Moments Paris, and while it was planned for many months I went through many struggles to produce anything remotely decent, for the reasons aforementioned. Nothing quite ticked, and my usual process algorithm->concept didn't ignite for a while. The many directions (mostly new algorithms) I explored all seemed garbage to me. After months of mist of emptiness, I had a conversation with my wife about it and—as often—she was able to point me a light I could perceive from afar.
"Maybe you could start from Ethereal Microcosm ? This way you would have a solid basis." I quickly discarded the idea—I will start from scratch, there's no other way! And then as the idea settled with me, it started to make sense. A thanks, a kiss, straight to work. At last, some light.
"I will shape Ethereal Microcosm into something new, into something that will be the imprint of how I feel now. I want them to feel the chaos. I want them to think they can maybe tame the chaos. But they won't, and eventually I want them to get lost in it just like I suddenly was."
