serpent33th

note

our teeth is our very first 'weapon'-- it's a part of our bone, extension of our body, and its primary goal is to crush, cut, and tear, so you can consume the externals and internalize it. No other part of your body has this destructive singularity.

 

a serpent33th is a wearable device that depicts that flow of consumption via audio manipulation: its main goal is singular, which is to copy (mimic) and consume randomly (process), when the wearer's move their head/teeth randomly again, again, and again, towards chaos ^see entropy.

​

Girard mentioned that all our desires are mimetic and learned by others around us. Of course, we live within context, and nothing is original. That's why laugh tracks exist on sitcoms, like and dislike exists on social medias, upvote, downvote, reviews, are the main cues that "hey! you're agreeing with me! you're laughing/liking/hating at the right time!". What we love, what brings us hate, what excites us, we learn from others.

 

Similar to a mirror, our existence is a large chain of feedback loop that consumes and repeat itself, an echo chamber. We listen to the loudest / biggest ones in the group, echoing what's being said or done, copying what has been done, because nothing is original ^see babble hypothesis.

 

and if we don't echo what's being said, we're deemed "different", which often times resulted in our support of the opposing power, which again-- a serpent eating its own tail!

 

With the serpenteeth, movements and changes will trigger the serpenteeth to randomly loop itself, distorting it just as if resisting to change. This resistance to change is ultimately change itself. Violent or not, you decide. The teeth is there in the first place.
