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.

Le Dernier Cri and the black penis of Marseille Le Dernier Cri and the black penis of Marseille
We’re constantly hearing that someone would like to do some joint project, organize something together, some event, but… damn, how to put it... we really like what you’re doing but it might piss someone off back home. Sure, it’s true that every now and then someone gets kicked out of this institution or that institute for organizing something with Divus, but weren’t they actually terribly self…
An unsuccessful co-production An unsuccessful co-production
If you know your way around, you might discover that every month and maybe even every week you stand the chance to receive money for your cultural project. Successful applicants have enough money, average applicants have enough to keep their mouths shut, and the unsuccessful ones are kept in check by the chance that they might get lucky in the future. One natural result has been the emergence of…
Magda Tóthová Magda Tóthová
Borrowing heavily from fairy tales, fables and science fiction, the art of Magda Tóthová revolves around modern utopias and social models and their failures. Her works address personal and social issues, both the private and the political. The stylistic device of personification is central to the social criticism emblematic of her work and to the negotiation of concepts used to construct norms.…
Wicked / Interview with Jim Hollands Wicked / Interview with Jim Hollands
“A person must shake someone’s hand three times while gazing intently into their eyes. That’s the key to memorizing their name with certainty. It is in this way that I’ve remembered the names of 5,000 people who have been to the Horse Hospital,” Jim Hollands told me. Hollands is an experimental filmmaker, musician and curator. In his childhood, he suffered through tough social situations and…

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…

THC Review and the Condemned Past

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…
