Comment:
This is haunting, this specter of you. It calls to mind a video of Derrida talking about the science of ghosts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nmu3uwqzbI" Have you seen it?

I'm no authority on Derrida, but read the Echographies.

He says, "A specter is both visible and invisible, both phenomenal and non-phenomenal: a trace that marks the present with its absence in advance." Your animation embodies that brain-twister for me.
