“(…) my approach is by no means the only one. At best, it offers a space for meditation and a place for reverie around the transfer of energy. I feel that the available means fall short of describing (…) what it is like to live through a revolution in information technology and to witness the energy exchanges that flow across the Earth’s surfaces — and it becomes even harder when it comes to the fantasies we might hold about parallel realities. I want people to be in a position where they can grasp some of these things.”

Cerith Wyn Evans, interview with Louisa Buck, The Art Newspaper, 31/03/2017.
