Basically, another struggle between Man and Machine.

Machine is Pulsation.

A digital stream of 1s and 0s which can mean something to machines, but looks like a rhythm to us.

On the other side: Man. Long breathing sounds p < f > p. But also: webpages, understandable by a reader.

In the middle: HTML code lines and their hexadecimal translation.

A journey from the readable front-end to the inner digitality of binary code, until we’ll be all paralized robots.
