i was walking around gwanhwamun the other day, and got shocked by sudden voices that ‘followed me’ on this road.
i can’t remember exactly what it was saying, but it was an ad for something. looking closely at the green, i realised that it was actually made of plastic, like the one that’s not so gracefully hanging on a cheap little plastic christmas tree. there were speakers hidden underneath, which gave me an illusion that the voice was actually following me.

it reminded me of the direction-focused multilanguage speakers at the ubiquitous dream hall and briefly thought about what it’d be like to walk around seoul in the future.

i will need to cocoon myself, i thought. i put on my ipod and quickly got on the subway to come home to my cocoon house.
