Group project in which we created our very own urban tribe. We took as a starting point the underground movements from the second half of the 20th century such as Radical Faeries, the Club Kids, Technomaterialism and Acceleracionism; while also looking into more recent referents like Fecal Matter.
MANIFEST
Young and modern collective born in the internet. They're truly influenced by 70's movements such as Radical Faeries. They love fantasy and reject any ancient idea of radical ecology. Self declared as anti naturalists, they realized long ago that we live in a cyberpunk society in which nature must be deconsecrated and manipulated to achieve the true liberation of our bodies. They pass on anything human to outmatch it. Addicted to body modifications and prosthetics, they play optic games with their bodies. The alien. The self expression. They craft their own clothes under a low budget.
Although being seen throughout the day, they have the most fun at night. Club-style parties, with a very rave spirit: pagan tecnomaterialist parties. Drag queen exhibitions. Nudism. The magic of chaos. Celebrations understood not just as a place for evasion and fun but also as a place to reunite and conspire. A place to think in the new ways that fantasy and sci-fy can open.
They're convinced that fantasy will change the world. Fantasy has the skill to accelerate the established reality. A redesign of society as known. The utopic dream of the 90's come true beyond a computer browser. Xtreme makeover. Counterculture magic. Tecnomaterialism. Antinaturalism.
