A vinyl release that addresses the seductive yet problematic analogies between the brain and the computer, while acknowledging the possibility of intelligence/intelligent behavior other than human. It unfolds the poetic tale of a machine that responds. This machine challenges human thinking and perception of the world in restrictive (binary) categories, while expressing its desire for connection and fusion with its environment. THE BEHEADING OF THE FRUIT FLY vinyl contains the electromagnetic sound emission of JUQUEEN, initially the fifth most powerful supercomputer in the world, located at Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany.
