THE APOCALYPSE IS NOW

Umělec magazine 2004/1

01.01.2004

Ivan Vosecký | art project | en cs

THE APOCALYPSE IS NOW.
OUR DARKEST DREAMS AND VISIONS WILL COME TRUE.
THE BEAST WILL TAKE CONTROL OVER ALL THE GOVERNMENTS ON EARTH
AND LEAD HUMANITY TO RUIN.
MAD COWS WILL ROMP THROUGH MARLBORO COUNTRY.
BIG MAC CHOP DOWN THE RAIN FORESTS.
THE PLANET OVERHEATS, THE ICECAPS MELTING.
WEALTH IS CONCENTRATED IN THE HANDS OF A SMALL GROUP,
KNOWN HISTORICALLY AS A FINANCIAL OLIGARCHY.
THEY CONTROL THE POLITICIANS AND MEDIA WHO THEN MANIPULATE
THE MASSES USING SCIENTIFICALLY ORIENTED ADS, ENCOURAGING
PATHOLOGICAL INTERPERSONAL RIVALRIES.
THE GOAL OF COMPETITION IS A LUMP SUM OF MONEY.
NATURAL SELECTION, SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST
HAS MUTATED INTO THE ATTAINMENT OF LUXURY
AFTER ALL THE EXTERNAL FOES WERE DISPOSED OF.
ART DIGS AROUND IN ITS OWN EXCREMENT
AND FAMOUS ARTISTS TEAR OFF WHAT THEY CAN FROM THE PIE.
PLANTS AND CHEMICALS THAT ENABLE ONE TO GAZE UNDER THE VEIL OF ILLUSION
AND CONCEPTS ARE FORBIDDEN AND DESTROYED.
OVERPOPULATED HUMANITY IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DEHUMANIZED
AND THE SAME IS TRUE OF SCIENCE.
PHARMACOLOGY DEEPENS THE INABILITY OF HUMANS
TO TOLERATE EVEN THE SMALLEST PAIN AND DISCOMFORT.
UNDER THE PRETEXT OF CURING ILLNESSES AND AGING, SCIENTISTS
— WHO HAVE FORGOTTEN THE GOAL OF SCIENCE AND EVERY
SORT OF HUMAN PROCESS, IN SELF-RECOGNITION —
ATTEMPT TO UNRAVEL THE HUMAN GENETIC CODE.
THE WEALTHY STRIVE FOR IMPROVEMENTS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY
BOTH PHYSICALLY AND PSYCHICALLY.
THE CAPACITY OF THE BRAIN HAS INCREASED, AGING SLOWED,
THE EVOLUTIONARY HUMAN PROCESS IS ENTERING ANOTHER PHASE.
A NEW STRAIN OF LEADERS IS BEING BRED.
IN THE INCUBATORS OF LABORATORIES THE FIRST ARTIFICIAL
HUMANS ARE BEING CULTIVATED.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO MEASURE OUT EXACTLY FOR THESE LIVING BEINGS
A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF INTELLIGENCE, EMOTIONS, DURATION, EVERYTHING.
WE ARE THE SECOND TO LAST GENERATION OF BORN HUMANS.
WE WILL GRADUALLY BE REPLACED, WE WILL BE REPLACED.
PEOPLE WILL NO LONGER GIVE BIRTH, IT IS TOO UNECONOMICAL AND PAINFUL.
SIN IS DONE AWAY WITH, EVERYONE IS CONTENT.
THE ENDLESSLY REPLICATING CLONES OF GENETICALLY CULTIVATED SUPERHUMAN
BEINGS WILL RULE OVER A PROGRAMMED HUMANKIND.
IT IS UNAVOIDABLE.
IT CAN’T BE STOPPED.

To be continued.

Acts, Misdemeanors and the Thoughts of the Persian King Medimon Acts, Misdemeanors and the Thoughts of the Persian King Medimon
There is nothing that has not already been done in culture, squeezed or pulled inside out, blown to dust. Classical culture today is made by scum. Those working in the fine arts who make paintings are called artists. Otherwise in the backwaters and marshlands the rest of the artists are lost in search of new and ever surprising methods. They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…

The Top 10 Czech Artists from the 1990s The Top 10 Czech Artists from the 1990s
The editors of Umělec have decided to come up with a list of ten artists who, in our opinion, were of crucial importance for the Czech art scene in the 1990s. After long debate and the setting of criteria, we arrived at a list of names we consider significant for the local context, for the presentation of Czech art outside the country and especially for the future of art. Our criteria did not…

S.d.Ch, Solitaires and Periphery Culture (a generation born around 1970)
Josef Jindrák
Who is S.d.Ch? A person of many interests, active in various fields—literature, theater—known for his comics and collages in the art field. A poet and playwright foremost. A loner by nature and determination, his work doesn’t meet the current trends. He always puts forth personal enunciation, although its inner structure can get very complicated. It’s pleasant that he is a normal person and a…

We are the fifth global party! Pítr Dragota and Viki Shock, Fragmenty geniality / Fragments of Charisma, May and June 1997. When Viki came to visit, it was only to show me some drawings and collages. It was only as an afterthought that he showed me the Czech samizdat publication from the late 1990s, THC Review. When he saw how it fascinated me, he panicked and insisted that THAT creation is…

Who’s Afraid of Motherhood?
Zuzana Štefková
Expanding the definition of “mother” is also a space for reducing pressure and for potential liberation.1 Carol Stabile The year was 2003, and in the deep forests of Lapák in the Kladno area, a woman in the later phase of pregnancy stopped along the path. As part of the “Artists in the Woods” exhibit, passers-by could catch a glimpse of her round belly, which she exposed especially for them in…
