this instATION represents the capitAL state of AFFLUANADAN during its OPTIMAL UTOPIA (2100)

the world is pristine, full of light && EUPhoria. pOVERTY is extinct. HEalth& wealth are of optima.



Earie yet elated,
The elite masters of frugality exist nonchalantly In a state of sterile serenity
Glazed towers of wealth elevate through a crystal, lucent sky
A chique & orderly rustle bustle
Phony smiles, & trivial errands
Cheese & wine is the extent an evening does breach
Nobody feels, nobody cares , all & sundry ignore.


 

   DOWN underneath  hERE is AFfluanadan’s DYSTOPIA.


THE LOSS OF FAMINGEA lead to a severe deficiency in resource. The pOPULATION of Affluanadan became weak. & undernourished. tHEIR neuronal transfers became slow, and inept due to the obstruction of the euphoric GENERATOR. pEOPLE BEGAN DISCONNECTING THEIR DEVICES IN the hope of regaining power both in mind &body.
however- without these generators, nobody had knowledge/memory of how to perform any of the simple tasks that the generators took control of. IE- using the loo, collecting supplies, maintaining a healthy diet& lifestyle- ETC.
infact the RADIOactive decay of the generators had shrivelled the brains of the USP’S to the size of a small plum.
THey had as much knowledge of life as a 5 year old.
TECHNOLOGY DECAYed & infrastructure withered in the polluted TROPOSPHERE.

The alienated crowd is dispersed & bodies ramble the highways, alone.
scavenging for their fodda
Nobody speaks, nobody does, nobody laughs.

Houses are left derelict as desolate estates, a neighborhood absent of its herd.
An uninvigorating, opaque chill, a roar of insecurity looms about the air.
A cataclysmic decline of vigor.


a population of cavemen-  a reincarnation of humanity
a reincarnation of emotion
a reincarnation of life.

 

this INSTALlation is a rePRESENtation of TODay’s world.
 -tHE 21st century

 

The BRANDT line, IS A LINE WHICH outlines a division in wealth and Power across PLAnet Earth. The North are in control of the worldwide economy, politics &trade, the SOUth suffer its consequENCEs, both in terms of wealth-&& environment -ETc.
The NORTH of the sculpture is made of a control system from a PC &the SOUTh is represented by the burnt VCR, and tapes. THIS is to present how the NORTH’S power is implementing destructive action upon the SOUTH.
THE installation is in correSPondance with the FILM TODAY’S WORLD which is the first OF the films played on the looped prOJECTIOn. --the fiLM reads this script.-

For all, all is commonplace
no question of why to war
no question of why to poverty
no question of why to crime
some live adequately
some live opulently
some;  empty of penny & soul.
the divides are ever augmenting
a divide in wealth
a divide in culture
a divide in humanity
ungovernable- some say.
2013.
Today &Tomorrow.


 


a dAY in a life of The USP of Utopian AffluanADAN during the Phase of the SIM SYSTEM.

tHIS is a person who is reSIDENT of 2070 (please refer to timeline)
A euphoric GENERATor/internal PC, is engraved into his/her scalp to ensure he/she does NOt have to be burdened with THinking about doing mundane/stressfulll activity. The GENERator takes over the neuronal TRANSFER systems and makes THE body perform these actIONS quickly and effectively, when the generator is in ACTION the brain/thought system is blocKED-(examples of actions for which the generator takes control of -goiNG TO the toilet, GOIng to the store to collect sUPPPLIES, goiNG to work, goING ON dates/enduring a relationship, doing exercISE,...

 this means people NEVER EVEN THINK/have any memory of performing such actions.-ie - the personas actuAL brain NO LONGER HAS KNOWLEDGE/MEMORY of anything inconvenient/excitiNG IN LIFE. -TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE- every day is the same- wake, consume, work, socialise, work, consume, work, socialise, consume, sleep- this consistency ensures constant euphoria for the USPS.

here is the script of the voice;

i wake up each morning at 7 oclock- brain waves are electrotransmitted from my PEC (personal engraved computer) to my neurones and slowly wake me over a period of ten minutes so that i feel at optimal ease for wake up. I walk to my kitchen andd am instructed as to whetherr i should enhale, absorb, or consume my breakfast. this instruction comes from my PEC  who is able to determine the science of digestion for thus morning.
Next i sit at my EPC (external personal computer) and begin a 2 hour work session where i control a digital person known as a DSA (A dystopian sect animal) - this year my DSA works in a battery farm- so i simply control its work routine on my EPC which transmitts instruction to the DSA’S PEC. every one of us USP’s (utopian sect person) has a scheduled 5 hours per day to control a DSA’S work schedule. It is much like a game of SIMS that our children may play - however we are controlling in order to receive resource  for an optimal utopian lifestyle.
once my 2 hour work placement is over i sit to a break where i may send SSM’s (social signal messages) to my fellow USP’S.  All fellow USP’s are purely digital- i do not interact physically with a friend- it is sould a digital rencontre. we may chat and gigggle for 25 minutes before i settle down to another 2 hour of DSA control.
this process of wake, consume, work, socialise, work, consume, work, socialise, consume, sleep is a mandatory routine it is one that keeps us USP’S at optimal ease and happiness.
we are happy, happy, happy and live a perfect utopian lifestyle
i give grace to the politics of our existance.
