Artistic Statement

ANTI

hosted future
creation and dissemination
for the fu – ture

diversity explosion
the own rules economy
altered eco-sys

the capital steals all the words from us
smart, art, the streets
the domain and the music

aesthetics spread from a place of
research and heart
always on the wedge of elitism

multidisciplinary pro-cesses
communities
perhaps our ultimate hope

like friendships
based on time and space
