split pattern project inspired by a curious experience while recovering in post-operation, mild delirium that was caused by anaesthesia, during which i felt that my consciousness was splitting in two, where the body seems to be separated from the mind, and the mind does not have any control over the body; it was strange and fun to see myself ripping out the IV tubes and sleepwalking out of the ward and causing panic amongst the nurses; yet the mind cannot seize h o l d o f t h e b o d y ’s m o t o r f u n c t i o n s . there were sensations of lights flickering and lines crawling like restless insects across my vision for at l e a s t a d i s o r i e n t i n g h a l f h o u r. was the body controlled by the subconscious for that brief period of delirium? it is like being drunk and trying to watching a really slow movie from afar and nothing registers.
