The future is already here, the one of a designed restoration of inequality as the standard and only possible horizon. No one can continue to pretend that they aren’t seeing it. This inequality shows itself in our experiences, our emotions, and it appears in all of the screens with the omnipresence of its radical and violent transparency. We don’t know how long this will last, neither do we know what is it we will be forced to live in this relaunched normality.

We’ve composed a folk tune and activated our anger in a series of pencil drawings. We’ve ourselves enjoyed doing them, stirring the moods up, using taunt and irony. It helped us, we needed to create this tool. Now we can go and speak to others, to young people, about the fact that this given fate isn’t all that we can aim to live.
