“Endless” climaxes as two Oceans converge to load the wooden structures built in previous scenes. The Oceans scrutinize our insatiable hunger for digital culture. Over sparse instrumentals, they sing of a world pacified by panoptic devices, a discursive view of our recreational madness.

All the while, the two Oceans continue to construct on screen what we can not see until a spiral staircase reaches back to the sky.

How are we still looking for a flat life? A flat wife? A smaller conception of what it looks like to spill forth from decimation?

Now we think as we fuck. This nut might kill us. This kiss could turn us to stone.

But human beings are put on God’s green earth for at least one reason: to consume & be taken up & consume other people.

Will I keep love?

Have you fixed your fascination with wolves? With hunger? With beasts not big enough for you to even fill myself?

A killer whale is not really a killer whale at all. Although many continue to use the term, the creature heralded within this misnomer is more closely related to dolphins.

Since the 1960s, “orca” has steadily gained traction in common vernacular.

Although the genus name Orcinus means “of the kingdom of the dead,” or “belonging to Orcus,” the word “orca” is euphemistically preferred by some to avoid the negative connotations of scientific solecism.

According to some scholars, the name “killer whale” is a misappropriate version of the 18th century Basque phrase, asesina-ballenas, which literally translates:

whale killer.
