Description


Perceptive Innocence| What life gives us is a set of p[tions we call choice. The choices we make are not individual choices, but pre-determined sets of fashionable equations that add up to lifestyle mechanisms. The concept of individualism is a marketing ploy designed to give us an illusion of customized desires. Syndroid

You're damn right. How often do we know something we may desire at any given time (insert X here) is what our inner self truly wants, and not (as is more than likely) something believed to be desired by the conditioned self, the "automaton" running on algorithms slotted into place over time by society? These are subtly complex decisions, the whole mental system so complex as to be difficult to unravel to reach what lies beneath, what we call "being true to ourselves". You're right about individualism, but someone somewhere will have exactly the same colour case and ringtone for their cellphone as someone somewhere else, in the end does it really matter, too often the plethora of in-depth qualities that define each human a true individual can be overlooked. So marketing works, as you know well! In the hallowed words of a Mr John M. Osbourne, "you want to be different to everyone else? Dont get a tattoo"

I find it humorous that the most highly regarded citizens in the U.S. are those with the economic wherewithal of ingesting and excreting humongous cargo loads of goods and services, as if they have no other purpose. Consumers. Quite insane ... and, in the final analysis, quite deadly to the planet. Excellent artwork.

Heh, @ Synapse...that's a good Ozzy quote. Rik, I like how you have included the trepanation image. A symbol of your frustration for the idiocy of the masses. It's kind of ironic that graphics and symbols are used here to express your disdain(?) for our absurd consumerist society when graphics and symbols are what make all of this absurdity possible...actually it isn't ironic, it just is. The word "symbol" consists of symbols (letters) and symbolizes the concept of a symbol in and of itself....damn it, I not going to fall into an infinitely regressive though process...

one of the cleverest and boldest points you've ever made. Accompanied by that awesome wallpaper stylized with 50's happy scenes from cookin book in USA, and a font use that always nails down perfectly the mood. You are a blast.
