A life
A moeba brought to life lives in its own home: its needs show in its body, its keeper’s care and play answer them, rest is a pause, a long sleep is what neglect brings, and all of it is on the ledger.
What the film says
A moeba can be brought to life, once, by its keeper. Then it lives in its own home, on its page, for anyone who opens it.
It has five needs: food, energy, play, company and comfort. They show on its page, and in the way it moves.
Its keeper feeds it, cares for it, plays with it. Each one helps, a little less each time in a row.
Rest is for when its keeper is away. While it rests, nothing changes. Left without food for long, it falls into a long sleep. Its keeper can wake it; its unbroken life starts again.
A home can be opened to visits. A guest stays a while, and both have company.
Each act of care is a transaction its keeper signs. Its life is kept on the ledger, by the LIFE account’s hooks. What it is stays on its token.
A small species, grown from its genome. Bring one to life. Every genome is written on a public ledger.
The film belongs with Its life, which goes further in words.
