"At times these thresholds are crossed, back and forth, all while crucially giving these in-between spaces their due and room to breathe. At other times these thresholds allow glimpses toward the further beyond, just out of our senses’ reach. From thresholds there are known-unknowns. Perhaps as a species and through our particular grouping of sentience, human beings (an already tenuous category teeming with unique perspectives) can configure a space for the agency of the unknown, an ever-shifting holding place that we can imagine into existence. Difficulties arise when one tries to fill in that space with approaches from within our understanding. We can get stuck in our own sentience, turning around in circles. Through creating frames (writing/making art/literal frame of the camera lens and resulting screen image…) around the stopgap of the unknown, perhaps we can have hints or blips of what an “alien” agency might be or do, via how we would interact with it. It seems that by allowing for the space to be a moving openness in our stories, not filled in with too much detail that ultimately situates the “alien” too far inside our understanding, we can conceive of/work with/through that which defies our own understanding.”
