It's an extension of my animation and media work, which can be seen <a href="http://www.o-matic.com" target="_blank">HERE</a>. The word "renatured" is a biology term, it means <blockquote><span class="sense_content">to restore (as a denatured protein) to an original or normal condition –Merriam Webster</span></blockquote> <p style="text-align: left;"><span class="sense_content">Given that I do not believe there's anything to restore –  not simply that we're too far gone – but that from everbefore, the notion of nature is constructed by humans as a set of malleable parameters. Nature can only change,  is in the process of always-becoming. The title </span><span class="sense_content">"Renature" </span><span class="sense_content">is akin to replay, or reset, a kind of magical thinking about winding back and repetition that is fallacious; "Renature" is set up there in its title space as a reminder (to me) to keep the networks fluid, keep asking questions, reject the compulsion for fixity, and field the mods as they come. </span>rich
