THE APOCALYPSE IS NOW

Umělec 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.

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.…
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…
My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution
An American poet was invited to the White House in order to read his controversial plagiarized poetry. All tricked out and ready to do it his way, he comes to the “scandalous” realization that nothing bothers anyone anymore, and instead of banging your head against the wall it is better to build you own walls or at least little fences.
