Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is. - Oscar Wilde

I love the style of this film. It reminds me a little of Giger‘s art, a bit of Druillet, and a tad from The Mind’s Eye. The story puts a twist on the idea of exogenesis or panspermia in a very well done animation. The almost-continuous evolution of the mechanical bio-analogues through its life-cycle of adapting local materials and spreading that bio-actual over the planet is quite stunning and beautiful in its fluid complexity.
Animated by Richard Mans.
