Description: | The decolonization of the world is the wor(l)d reinvented. The crisis of western modernity is decolonization. Twenty-first century digital capitalism and racial necropolitics are the weapons of global oppression. The algorithms of control and finance propagate the deadly mythologies of the present. Fascist codes seeping into minds and bodies. It is time to re-make the world again in the wake of postcolonial failures and tragedies. Let us face the monstrous with the restlessness of hope. Negation is immanent. Dreams infinite. Transversing the global networks of big data and communication capitalism the manifesto returns as event, singularity, interruption as the aesthetic void in the everyday. An imperceptible fluctuation in the whiteness of reactionary techno-utopias. The enlightenment is a lie. A delusion in the colonial division of knowledge, ethics, aesthetics. Art is dead. We’ve never believed in this organisation of reality. Our world explodes in a billion fragments. |
