NOTES:

JUNIPER depicts an unstable world of shifting dissolving landscapes inhabited by big and small cursors.

The cursors sing melodies as they try to navigate through their frantically nebulous world.

Sometimes the big yellow cursor’s friend (big blue cursor) shows up and seems to be happier than he is.

Sometimes when the big yellow cursor meets a small cursor, the small cursor either disappears or pauses with a drone and then just continues along the way.

Sometimes when the big yellow cursor kisses the small red cursor the entire world momentarily disappears in a dream.
