The burning heat of August in Europe fertilized process, exchanges and pollination.  
Propelled by Alex/Platohedro invitation to Documenta Fifteen in Kassel,  
encouraged by David’s hometown connections, hosted by a collective of young artists, we lived encounters of performances on fiber optics, of forests/humans; of remotely controlled dancers. I witness the amazing bifurcations and merging of experiences produced by choices.  
In Kassel, I was able to get a glimpse of a more fair economy caring for curiosity produced by choices.  
MotionDAO has become a fuzzy tentacular creature extending and contracting beyond the logics of form or formal organizations.

> Nobody lives everywhere; everybody lives somewhere. “Nothing is connected to everything; everything is connected to something… Tentacularity is about life lived along lines — and such a wealth of lines — not at points, not in spheres.”  
> _Donna Haraway_

We present here reports that include connected narratives, matching actions with intentions, dislocated goals, creative accidents and numbers folded in creativity.
