In the distant future, species have undergone strong mutations in their phenotypes, evolving in an environment that requires permanent re-adaptation to survive. Insects merge with humans, plants with birds, fungi proliferate in the humidity of the caves where the majority of the creatures on the planet are sheltered.

The sun having reached its maximum, the solar storms are felt more and more strongly. It is in 3520 that the three strongest waves hit the Earth, reaching its magnetic field, generating deep fluctuations, but also destroying the majority of the digital communication systems and harming the technological dependence. The interconnectivity of electronic infrastructures is gradually replaced by telepathic exchanges, exacerbating the sensitivity between bodies regardless of the distance and time separating them.

It is in this world that Extys is born. Imagine that pleasure is no longer individual, that it is transmitted beyond physical contact. That a bird singing at dawn makes a ceibo blossom, that a caress is transmitted to a body far from the one that generates it and feels its pleasure. Beings having evolved through strong vibrations and magnetic movements, everything influences each other permanently.

A world and utopian sexuality built on rubble covered with viscous moss. Entities that emancipate themselves from their reproductive functions, from the binarity of gender and from the hierarchy between species. Defamiliarizing, altering perception and disrupting the usual modes of knowledge, to give substance to other possibilities, opening other avenues to the imagination. Extys celebrates the effect that escapes from the gesture, the distorted causalities, the power of a pleasure that no longer has a center, the body in permanent mutation. It is the introduction of a fiction where bodily sensations emancipate themselves from the envelope and become worlds, electricity, impalpable.
