IMPULSE DEVIATION
Impulse deviation, an instinctive urge to act beyond the norm. A strong desire to not walk the beaten track. A staggering force that causes a temporal change of momentum. A catalyst for deep level chainreactions that trigger your mind in unusual visual ways to expand your mental horizon.
Impulse deviation, signal manipulation … , is it distortion? Is it a glitch? It is a stimulating itch you can't get rid of. It is an inspiration, powered by Geert Lenssens: G.L. Itch??
