Anarchavists Manifesto

"But when two thirds of global copyrights are in the hands of six corporations, the capacity to rework one's memories into the material symbolic form of individual testament and testimony is severely constrained. We rarely own the memories we are sold."

Such a massive portion of the media we encounter on the daily is funneled from the same sources, distributed subversively into our psyche. Coca Cola, iPhone, and MacDonalds may be the apparent 'front propositions' of mainstream commercial imagery, the variety of niches associated with these moguls are endless. In the capitalistic structures, the megaliths rising to the top enables exponentially greater allowance to exact their power.

It's not really about the companies though, or their ideologies, but about the myriad of avenues they display their ethos. The distribution of images is so multifaceted and ubiquitous, and combine that with a relatively small variety of images circulated- that creates quite a punch of reception.
We are repeatedly subject to the same media, repeatedly visualizing and acting upon impulses shaped in a similar vein. To act otherwise-that would be anarchy.

Travels in Hyper Identity

It's not unlikely to imagine an existence in the next sphere of human corporality. Wether influenced by technological factors, evolutionary, or more likely both, I think it's not improbable that our bodies will modify, transgress and break the boundaries of our current human skin. While it's all speculation, a small, ghostly version has already occured-through our digital presence aka trans-bodily internet expressions. Internet clones, 'deepfakes', impersonation, we've already encountered a potent combination of expressing internal consciousness within a different set of parameters. No matter what, I think it we consider ourselves human, we will consider ourselves to have a body. "These artists encourage us to revel in the materiality of our own anatomy, regardless of how far we've traveled from it." From Patricia Piccinini : Graham The comforter The naturalist Wether we interpret this externally or internally is a complex aspe
