A warning, a recollection, or a bad dream?

Travelers hurry to organize an expedition to an unknown place at a great distance.  When they arrive they come across numerous technological inconsistencies, a being taking the human form, as well as an emanating polyphonic voice that is non-recordable, and so assumed as only occurring in their heads. A person from the expedition attempts to remember and reconstruct her experience in this place and time, though seemingly falls short due to the inability’s and malfunctions of the “reproduction technologies” they had brought with them on their journey, as well as the fallibility of her own memory.
At times in English, and at others in Latin, the voices they hear in their heads speak of holism, proto-genesis, and technology and nature as being synonymous.
The experimental-fiction work The Future-Primitive has many implications and potential readings and oscillates between genres of science-fiction, and documentary.  

The most fundamental elements of human experience, that of perception and relationships are explored and pushed to the limits through the use of optical feedback, flicker and polyphonic voice.
