.24 Cut the World

"Today it's almost inconceivable that we're going to be able to shake this shitty system off its foundations, to create a new trajectory for ourselves as a species, in relation to nature. But [...] why not try? All we've got is legend to make of ourselves. The legends are being written, whether we try or not. We're either a bunch of assholes who lay around, waiting for the inevitable to happen, while we indulge our every last tidbit of consumerism. Or we try to use the platforms available to us to at least shake things"

"Typically the youth culture stance for the last 20 years has been, "Why bother participating, it's all so corrupt." But if we don't toe the line, nothing's going to happen. And what are you supposed to make art about if it's not what you care about? If you're only making art about your own pedestrian life, abstracted from the reality of the world today, soon you're just going to have this creative cesspool of meaningless work. Because it's not built on any values. The video is not clean enough to really be considered activist work, but it's provocative [...]
 At the very least, it's going to provoke dialogue that's relevant to our times."

.23 No hay necesidad

I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The in between is mine
I am mine

[...]

There's no need to hide
