In French, “comment” means “how” but by asking how, the question is looking for an answer giving a comment.

This one-minute video-poem brings simulation theory into relation with questions of perception, reality, and Nature. It considers the possibility of reality as simulation and the difficulty of establishing a rational distinction between the real and the artificial. The work also examines “Nature” as a category defined through human perception. Ecological transformation destabilizes this distinction, raising questions about what is considered natural, artificial, real, or constructed. Ultimately, the work connects these questions of reality and representation to the ecological consequences of anthropocentric thinking, asking how our understanding of Nature might change when the boundaries through which we define it can no longer be taken for granted.
