Welcome to the Phylogenetic Tree of Life. Welcome to the dentist’s office, to the paintings on the waiting room’s walls. Welcome to the worlds inside those paintings: the hidden surf spots, the lonely but beautiful island, the photogenic lake, the majestic barn, the huge cliff. Inside the dentist’s room, high above, numerous stickers assault you with their advertising and their quick, heedless design. Music is on. It’s not vaporwave. It’s the Jurassic predecessors of vaporwave — soft rock, smooth jazz, and New Age — shaken in a blender on a DJ’s mixing board, massaging you in their familiarity and non-becoming. Telozkope knows how to be there with you in the dentist’s room. He knows how to become the motivational painting, the tourist souvenir, the whiter-than-real smile. His world is not a plastic world, it’s a vaporized one that comes with a pause screen, a box of tissues and a subreddit. We travel, flipping through pages of this National Geographic odyssey. Follow him to the MIDI spa, if you please. There will be champagne and chocolate turtles.
