Robin Willis15 Aug 2007 @ 01:21

My good friend Morgan and his partner Kovas have just released Issue number one of their Zine: PN. It is an introduction to the interesting work they are doing. Beautifully designed, like Bruce Mao meets Guy Deboard and a must for all programming rockstar nerds. Click Here to veiw the Issue: PN #1

PROGRAM:nature is the at the forefront of a powerful new way of understanding and interacting with our universe. From science, to technology, to the arts, the deep link between natural form and computation is radically transforming what is conceivable, what is practical, and what is fashionable. By providing access to practical tools, timely and actionable intelligence, and a network of cutting-edge artists, intellectuals, and programmers, PROGRAM:nature seeks to be a platform for extending and shaping this movement.

«culture is not your friend. It insults you. It uses and abuses you. None of us are treated well by culture. The cultura is a perversion. It fetishizes objects. Endless forms of false happiness....It dehumanizes ourselves into meme processors..By creating art. By putting the art petal to the metal, we really maximize our humanism and become much more necessary and incomprehensible to the machines.»
-Terence McKenna
Psychedelic Society

«Since in any situation 10 percent of the events cause 90 percent, we ignore the 10 percent and are stunned by the 90 percent. Without an anti-environment, all environments are invisible. The role of the artist is to create anti-environments as means of perception and adjustment. Hamlet's sleuth technique for coping with the hidden environment around him was that of an artist: 'As I perchance hereafter shall think meet to put on anti disposition on . . .»
(Hamlet, Act I, Scene V)"

«The criminal like the artist is a social explorer.»
—Marshall McLuhan

Sous les pavés, la plage !

On achète ton bonheur. Vole-le.
They buy your happiness. Steal it.

Sous les pavés, la plage !
Beneath the paving stones - the beach!

Ni Dieu ni maître !
Neither God nor master

La culture est l'inversion de la vie.
Culture is the inversion of life.

L'art est mort, ne consommez pas son cadavre.
Art is dead, don't consume its corpse.

'sois jeune - tais-toi!
Be young - shut up!
