BREAKING BAD WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING FOR MY FLY
I started this experiment by putting a fly through Breaking Bad and a few other stories built around crime, ambition and building an underground world. The idea was never to copy the show scene for scene. I wanted to see what would happen when the fly took those ideas and started interpreting them on its own
That experiment has now turned into something much bigger.
Every new scene feels like another episode being discovered. The fly moves through a greenhouse, checks different areas, follows its shift and interacts with a world that feels like it already existed before the camera arrived. Then the story suddenly takes it somewhere else, into a botanical archive before returning to the operation later
There is no giant explanation telling it exactly how the story should unfold. The fly is working from the same kind of narrative DNA that made Breaking Bad so interesting, then filling in the gaps with its own version of events
And that is where HEISENBUG gets weird.
What started as a simple experiment with one TV series is slowly becoming a completely new story with its own locations, routines, characters and little details that keep connecting together. I never know what the next chapter is going to look like until I build it
At this point I'm not really recreating Breaking Bad anymore.
I'm watching a fly write its own version of it
I PUT A FLY THROUGH BREAKING BAD AND TOLD IT TO RECREATE THE STORY
After going through the series, the fly apparently decided there was only one logical next step: build an underground operation of its own.
What started as a simple experiment turned into a full secret laboratory hidden beneath the surface, with equipment, workstations, different stages of production and a second fly waiting at the end of the process.
Nobody told the fly how the story was supposed to continue.
The show was enough.
Now fly moves around the lab like a tiny version of Walter White, checking the operation, handling materials, inspecting the results and getting everything ready for the next delivery.
It even has its own little supply chain.
One fly runs the lab, another receives the finished batch and the whole operation starts over again from the beginning.
I didn't build a Breaking Bad parody with flies.
I basically gave a fly the plot and let it decide what to do with it.
HEISENBUG was the result
