Come along for the slowly looping ride as a lone Muscae volitantes (floater) inexplicably gains sentience and tries its special best to decipher its own meaning as well as that of the baffling world beyond the retina where interaction is not a possibility.
floater is an online animated comic strip series illustrated and written by Jeff McElroy. In an irreverent, awkward manner it deals with topics such as isolation, wonder, hope, and serenity.
"Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye's vitreous humour, which is normally transparent. At a young age, the vitreous is transparent, but as one ages, imperfections gradually develop. The common type of floater, which is present in most persons' eyes, is due to degenerative changes of the vitreous humour. The perception of floaters is known as myodesopsia, or less commonly as myodaeopsia, myiodeopsia, myiodesopsia. They are also called Muscae volitantes, or mouches volantes. Floaters are visible because of the shadows they cast on the retina or refraction of the light that passes through them, and can appear alone or together with several others in one's visual field. They may appear as spots, threads, or fragments of cobwebs, which float slowly before the observer's eyes. As these objects exist within the eye itself, they are not optical illusions but are entoptic phenomena.”
