"Behind every image, something has disappeared. And that is the source of its fascination. Behind virtual reality in all its forms […] the real has disappeared. And that is what fascinates everyone. According to the official version, we worship the real and the reality principle, but - and this is the source of the current suspense - is it, in fact, the real we worship, or its disappearance?"
Jean Baudrillard - 'Why hasn’t everything already disappeared?'
Hyper-Rainforest is a large-scale sonic immersive sound installation / performance in the dark. It was curated by Micah Silver and commissioned by EMPAC (Curtis R.

Nowhere Worldwide isn't an actual label, it's rather a statement of the opposite - not released on any label, therefore not bound to a specific country.
