'Whereas TO.KYO.ZO.IC was a cyber-kabbalist myth of creation, A-ZO.IC exhumes atavisms of destruction and apocalypse, re-interpreted for the atomic age. Qabbalistic legend has it that before God emanated our world of equilibrium, there was another ruled by the unbalanced forces or ˜Kings of Edom', populated by archdemons and chaos. Even now, this world threatens to revisit ours with its quantum entropy and white noise. Synchronous with this, the suffix ZOIC bears a resemblance to Z2+C, the equation for the Mandelbrot set, symbol of the boundary between chaos and order. A-ZO.IC was computer animated with Amiga technology and processing imagery on video through up to 20 generations' - St. John Walker
