Synopsis

A six-eyed humanoid moves through a strange, steampunk-like world of machines, laboratories, and shifting landscapes. The figure appears to be assembled, instructed, and brought to life as part of an experiment, but the process soon becomes unstable. Mechanical forms multiply, mutate, and collide in a rapid stream of surreal imagery that follows the fractured energy of Machinedrum's remix. Rather than presenting a literal narrative, the animation works like a fever dream, suggesting creation, control, and an experiment that escapes its maker.
