OPENING CRAWL

(insert dramatic introduction tune)

Welcome to the do-it-yourself generation. We live in a world flooded with nostalgic references and consumer products, making it the perfect time to learn the art of recycling and reprocessing. We've shifted from a time when owning paper mills, printing presses, and broadcasting licenses was the norm, to an era where all you need is a cheap PC or smartphone in your pocket.

Take the example of Johann Gutenberg, the Western pioneer of book printing. His Gutenberg press revolutionized the production of text, giving us works like the Holy Biblia Latina Vulgate and setting the West in motion.

Printmaking wasn’t just about mass production—it was about making information accessible to everyday people. No need to confess your sins at church anymore, brothers and sisters; just read a few pages, and you might feel much better.

Fast forward to today: social media has taken on the same role. Digital platforms now deliver messages to the masses, just like the printing press once did. Analog turns digital, yet the digital often revives the analog. Think about how digital advancements have strengthened our love for nostalgia, making old products more attractive and sustainable—take vinyl records as a prime example.

So, let's raise a toast to this moment of transition. Here’s to what was, what’s coming, and the entire remix happening in between.

LOG IN, TUNE IN, PAUSE.

I: "Artistic Innovation in the Digital Age"

We stand at the crossroads of art and technology, championing the fusion of physical and digital realms.

Our mission is to leverage social media as a catalyst for artistic expansion—a global stage where creativity knows no bounds.

By integrating digital ideograms and memes into tangible, interactive experiences, we craft fluid and socially engaging events.

We design performances that bridge the virtual and the real, aiming to unravel the evolving tapestry of societal development in our increasingly interconnected world.

Our goal is to explore the convergence of online and offline existence through mediums such as talk shows and game shows, examining how art can be made accessible and relevant in contemporary society.

II: "The Evolution of Creativity in Isolation"

Inspired by the creative spirit of Henri Rousseau and the challenges of a pandemic-stricken world, we embrace isolation's transformative power.

Within the confines of our homes, we connect with nature in new ways—crafting fictional landscapes and venturing into uncharted aesthetic realms.

Amid global uncertainty, our reflections tackle societal issues, from satirizing the pandemic's effects to confronting climate change anxieties, all while navigating the fine line between scientific challenges and personal imagination.

Our goal is to inspire inward journeys, discovering solace and creative abundance in a world where physical limitations give rise to boundless internal exploration.

III: "Embracing the Tech-Fueled Future"

As we stand at the brink of a new technological revolution, this manifesto aims to explore the intricate relationship between humanity and the rapid advancement of technology.

The rise of AI, immersive virtual environments, and ubiquitous tech offers unprecedented opportunities but also presents profound ethical challenges.

We seek to examine whether these innovations enrich our human experience or risk dulling our natural senses and instincts.

At the heart of our exploration are the socio-ethical questions of this tech-driven age—how do we balance progress with the preservation of our humanity?

Our mission is to dive deeper into this evolving dynamic, sparking a conversation that celebrates innovation while fiercely protecting the core values that bind us as a global society.
