Description	This project deals with possibilities for change that are considered scientifically impossible, or of high levels of difficulty. It consists namely of an agency that offers transformation and teleportation services to the public for a certain fee, employing methods of simulation to do so. Interested people can get in contact with the agency through its website to request a preliminary meeting. The goal of the first meeting is to identify the exact transformation or teleportation wish, and to discuss possibilities of doing so together with the client. Once the deci-sion is made, a second meeting is arranged for the realization of the wish. The price varies according to the distance in time, space, and species; every case is unique. The process can be interrupted and the result is reversible at any time. Documentation is available afterwards for research purposes. Transformation deals with changing form. Teleportation involves either the transformation of the environment or – in accordance with quantum physics – disassembling and reassembling our molecular structure in the exact same form but in a different place. For this reason, Star Trek experts claim that as soon as you are teleported, you are no longer the same person. We could then argue that transformation and teleportation are two almost opposite processes, though both deal with an unknown result regarding consciousness and identity. Therefore, in Metaphorai you proceed on your own risk.
