A Wet Bio Coder is the second chapter in a series of films loosely conceived of as a guide for learning how to throw on the potter’s wheel through hypnotism. The 8 minute film explores craft logic with haptic aurality and poetics. A voice guides you across a field, under your fingertips and around your soft palate. You will be hypnotized. You will wander and trespass. With calibrated words and spinning objects you will hear what you want to hear, the flashing moments layering themselves seamlessly into consciousness. The wheel is humming gently.
