The Antennae women, concerned about the increasingly severely disturbed vibrations, are going on a journey to Mother Earth. They intend to finally solve the problem of the planet by restoring the factory settings of the patriarchal system - returning it to the harmonious origins of the first mothers. Using their powers, they want to reverse what is systemic and incessant in a naive, panicky gesture of stopping the accelerating avalanche of modern times. By performing, they try to affirm ancient values, restoring the ease of communication devoid of any cultural framework and the autopoietic power of living matter.

We restore the factory settings of the patriarchal system in a poetic coding language.
By using it without understanding, we create something like Dadaist poetry, inspired by parrot sounds. We repeat the machines, completely not understanding the meaning of messages, based on the words we know. We remove, clean / purify, disenchant, reconstruct, arrange into original shapes, looking for the source and agency in phonetics. We make commands that are seemingly abstract and invisible to users, manifest themselves and transpose them beyond the virtuality.
We use sci-fi and VR aesthetics to symbolically define the time frame. Silver openwork catsiuts are to refer, on the one hand, to anthropomorphic robots created by white men,
and on the other to the model of the alien from the movie Spermula - the secret tamer of the patriarchy.
We use the theme of the radio telescope to embed the whole thing in a club-like and esoteric narrative.
We want to reverse the irreversible in a naive, panicky gesture of stopping the speeding avalanche of modernity, at the end of which we were born, and we will probably not see its spectacular end.
While performing, we try to affirm ancient values. We can restore the culturally-free ease of communication and the autopoietic power of living matter.
