Turned off animations on my android phone - like time travel, saved years of my life watching spinning circles.

According to Plutarch’s Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans - they were all mass murderers except for Cicero and Demosthenes, and not a single woman in there.

The corporate state apparatus obfuscates the individual through the generation of bonding and domestication rituals, labeling and enumeration.
The purpose of my installations and performance is to create art state machines that oppose and redirect the corporate state machine by creating spontaneous creative rituals.

The universe is the ultimate art-making machine and the ultimate art protocol.

Art is long form. Short form is decoration.

Hands New York City is a series of animations created during the Manhattan lockdown and inspired by New York City and its people.

With Hands Empire State Building. I have been watching the heart of New York City beat on top of the Empire State Building, I watched the moon rise over it.

A city electric and luminous with many people, we are all so different and we live in peace.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Songwriter: John Winston Lennon

To arrive at the edge of the world's knowledge, seek out the most complex and sophisticated minds, put them in a room together, and have them ask each other the questions they are asking themselves.

And my favorite question - but make sure to check out their last question as well:

WHAT SCIENTIFIC TERM OR CONCEPT OUGHT TO BE MORE WIDELY KNOWN?
