Peter & nou comes in a web version. Constantly evolving, never the same twice (though technically, it could be the same twice, it’s just highly unlikely), frustrating, annoying and verging on the incomprehensible www.rabbitcottontoothcottonrabbit.com‘s domain name refers to a specific moment in time and space; a narrative used by a dentist to hypnotise a child,…
