A DIGITAL MANIFESTO
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psdBKP9lPPc&feature=channel_page

A digital manifesto

image through image / tapeless / filmless / cinefull

Is this your recorder? It´s recording me already, it´s modulating right?

Image through image / and Who is making it? Me? Or the computer?

These images / this life / and Who is editing it? Me? Or the machine?

Created with no brush / only pixels / pixelated paintings / pixelized

here goes my manifesto

pandora´s box

the past is a myth // a system that lives from the past / this is na echo -
system

Love / oh Love / why isn´t the planet moved by love

it should / true love

 *“another proof: music that comes from new times. It is the civilization of
leisure not business / it is a new man / a new time a new era…”*

that´s it / after Love / water a lot of water // the holy drink / not this
dead drink

*“radioart / water*

*Lord forgive them they do not know what they´re doing…*

Listen / hear / hear us

The muse//

the primitive future is being lapidated by digital craftsmen / those that
through self-sustainability / deconstruct shapes / in order to find meaning

the past is a myth // human salvation lives in the internet

TRIBES

television never more /// gone is the industrial age // long gone industrial
age

technology has not been completely understood yet // it´s messianic function
in this planet

we are the 1 and technology is the 0

maybe everything seems exact / extract /maybe

Society / liquid society // why not?

*Liquids, differently from solids, do not maintain their form with ease /
they´re fluid / don´t fixate space and don´t tie time // it´s time to
liquefy patterns of dependency and interaction / they are now malleable / to
the point in which past generations did not experience and could not
conceive of*

*there´s a new tribe in town and that´s the hybrid tribe*

*this is the post-concept*

*a cool insight in the Word post / doesn´t mean necessarily posterior but
re-evaluated / self-aware / from a psychoanalytical perspective *

*we all come from the same echo echo-system*

*digital being*

*why not share life is all live the same life*

*at the same time at the same age*

*the future is now*

the digital being liquid celebrates

digital being

do it yourself
