(insert dramatic introduction tune)
“Welcome to the "do-it-yourself 'generation. We live in a flood of nostalgic references and consumer products, it may be time to learn how to recycle and reprocess? We've gone from owning paper mills, presses, broadcasting licenses, to have a cheap PC or a smartphone in our pockets. From the introduction by the western book printer pioneer Zur Laden! Real name Johann Gutenberg, gave us the Gutenberg press, an accurate and efficient machine for production. Without him, no Holy Biblia Latina Vulgate, how this put the West in motion, oh lord.
Everything is about conveying something to an audience and printmaking made the information available and accessible to local people. “No bother going to church and confess your sins brothers and sisters, just read a few pages of this and you will begin to feel much better…”.
Fast forward today, I think social media plays the same role: delivering this through digital platforms. These new digital tools carrying the flag further into the digital realm, the new reflects the old, analog turns digital. But also vice versa! Think about how things going digital reenforces the power of nostalgia and thus making an older product become even more sustainable and attractive? Yes, the Vinyl is a perfect example.
Let's have a toast for this while we are lucky enough to be experiencing the transition. A tribute for what was, for what is coming, and for the entire remix in between.”

I: "Artistic Innovation in the Digital Age"
We stand at the intersection of art and technology, advocating for the fusion of physical and digital realms.
Our mission is to harness social media as a catalyst for artistic expansion—a global stage where creativity transcends boundaries.
By infusing ideograms and memes from the digital sphere into tangible, interactive experiences, we create fluid, socially engaging events.
We curate performances that bridge the gap between virtual and real, aiming to unravel the evolving tapestry of societal development in our increasingly interconnected world.
Our purpose is to explore the convergence of online and offline existence through mediums like talk shows and game shows, probing the accessibility of art in contemporary society.
II: "The Evolution of Creativity in Isolation"
Inspired by the creative spirit of Henri Rousseau and faced with the challenges of a pandemic-stricken world, we embrace the transformative power of isolation.
In the confines of our homes, we forge connections with nature, weaving fictional landscapes and exploring untrodden aesthetic territories.
Amidst global uncertainties, our reflections touch upon societal quandaries—satirizing the pandemic's impact, grappling with climate change anxieties, and navigating the delicate balance between scientific dilemmas and personal imagination.
Our aim is to inspire inward journeys, finding solace and creative abundance in a world where physical boundaries limit outward exploration.
III: "Embracing the Tech-Fueled Future"
As we stand on the precipice of a technological revolution, our manifesto seeks to navigate the complex relationship between humanity and advancing technology.
The integration of AI, simulated environments, and pervasive tech brings both unprecedented opportunities and daunting ethical dilemmas.
In our exploration, we question whether technological advancements enrich our human experience or desensitize our innate senses.
We confront the socio-ethical implications of this tech-driven era—navigating the fine line between progress and preservation of our human essence.
Our mission is to delve deeper into this evolving relationship, fostering a discourse that celebrates innovation while safeguarding the core values of our global society.
