In a time and space where matter and information are highly decentralized, a “postman” often rings the recipient’s doorbell repeatedly to ensure that those inside the house can clearly recognize the arrival of messages. For the recipient—whether anxious or long-awaiting—the news, good or bad, always arrives as expected after the second ring.
This scenario mirrors how people react to external changes, where swift responses are often required. When sudden emotions, nightmares, memories, or conversations strike seemingly without harbinger, how do we anticipate, speculate, or rehearse our reactions—decisively or hesitantly, lightly or heavily?
Whether dealing with aluminium mailboxes or digital inboxes, focusing on delivery systems or returning to broader cellular ecosystems, the demands for order, accuracy, and security transform unexpected messages into an inevitable unknown. These messages disrupt and break the current moment, pushing us into the next cycle: winter gives way to spring, life and death alternate, yet the sun always rises anew.
