MŪ(μ), 30 February 2168. They said the rocks were able to sing. They said the light was particle and wave. They said the sea had limits. Our analog memories melt into this post-human landscape.
The imaginary exploration of MU in the year 2168 takes place between an analog and a virtual dichotomy. Disruptive phenomena of climate change produce a post-human digital hypothesis of the European continent, where the analog landscapes from our current memories fade away.

MŪ(μ), 30 February 2168. They said the rocks were able to sing. They said the light was particle and wave. They said the sea had limits. Our analog memories melt into this post-human landscape. The sea level is 3 meters above what our ancestors used to call land. MU is where sea level rose, and our landscapes of care disappeared, letting space fishes fly and snow horses swim. In February 2021 , a paper published in Ocean Science suggested that past projections for global sea level rise by 2100 reported by the IPCC were likely conservative, and that sea levels will rise more than previously expected .
Historically, Mu is a hypothetical disappeared continent in the Pacific Ocean, described by the Anglo-American James Churchward (1851-1936), on the basis of a translation, from the 19th century by the Flemish abbot Charles Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg from a Mayan manuscript. MŪ (μ) 2168 is an imaginary not-so-far future, where our present landscapes will become the next theatre for MŪ's lost legend.

“And then, they danced on our melting memories.”
