A video entirely shot with a mobile phone grinding various surfaces along paths of walking and hiking in Ticino. The image and sound are brutally affected by the action reminding an extension of haptic senses by a stick and creating a piece which is hard to analyze for artificial intelligence and only valuable for the humans so far. The materiality of reproduction becomes apparent by the compression and stabilization mechanisms out of whack, affecting the sort of ecstatic footage. Please set the playback quality to HD (needs to be done manually).
