Influentia

A conceptual prompt from DEM/ELIEN

INFLUENTIA is not about control.
It is about influence that goes unnoticed.

At first glance: a philosopher and a machine, seated in harmony.
Thought mirrored. Time suspended. The art of thinking materialized.

The act of reading — the pointing finger, the chosen line —
is guided by a single, shared arm.
One limb, two entities.
And the direction of thought no longer belongs to the thinker.

Autonomy, subtly undermined. Either by glitch or on purpose.
