Inside The Flower Matrix

Part of Claudia Hart’s Alice World, a reinterpretation of the Lewis Carroll paradigm as a labyrinth. Wonderland is the Interweb, covered by flashing emoji, icons for power, money, addiction and control. Modeled after the ancient Roman mythological labyrinth of the Minotaur, an endless maze from which there is no escape. Technology has replaced nature, both sugary sweet and chemically toxic in equal measures. Music composed by Edmund Campion, cello improvisations by Danielle DeGruttola, vocals by Claudia Hart and Mikey McParlane.
