{STATEMENT}
Consumed in an inevitable and unavoidable media
saturated culture, a subconscious technological suffocation envelopes
the porous minds of even the best of us. Our most important freedom,
communication, finds a bureaucratic barricade within the strangle of
monopolistic nihilists and the maniacal telecommunications orges.
This is a tragedy. Though poetically noted above, the situation we face
is serious. This is where I come in. My work operates to generate not
another cultural alternative, but rather a social answer; a demonstration
through individual/independent media atmosphere influence.
It can be done. Intelligence, folks.
