Lecture Title: The Journey of Agapios

And so the story of Agapios begins... a blind man living in 256 A.D. Chalcis, Greece discovers sight through traveling. Experiencing foreign environments and meeting unique creatures, he identifies the presence of new codes, and discovers a universal language. His travels end at the top of a mountain above An Imperfect City, which pushes him to accept contradiction and embrace the beauty of incompleteness.
