“I discovered that our clan included loads of cousins and uncles and aunts and animals of every shape. I was taught that chaos and competition were family values. And I learned that we all loved the sea.

“"Motherboard," for me, has four different levels: the bottom part is the water, vegetation, and growth. The second part is the world with figures and animals; there's chaos and civilization. The third part is the digital zone - these red things are turning into really loud digital sounds. Then the fourth level is like ether and things turning into air. This idea of how we're becoming partly digitalized is really interesting to me.” WorldIdeasDifferentSoundGrowthWaterAnimalInterestingLevelsFourAirFiguresBecomingCivilizationRedThirdsChaosBottomLoudZoneDigitalFourthReally InterestingDifferent LevelsVegetation Author:Ali Banisadr
