Lying is ecstacy-which lasts longer than a second-there is nothing that lasts longer.Idiots brood over the centurythey start all over again several minutes later-idiots remain within the circle for ten years-idiots hover over the dial of the year- Myself (an idiot) I stay there for five minutes.

cyber CYBERdada PUNK manifesto The Cyberpunk Project 11th October 2002
DIGITIZE THE WORLD. (A NEW LIFE AWAITS YOU). TECHNOLOGY IS SPEEDING AHEAD: DIGITIZE THE WORLD. (A NEW LIFE AWAITS YOU). TECHNOLOGY IS SPEEDING AHEAD:
are you following the integrated golden horizons? Take apart technology and see what it really is!
REUSE EVERY THING
!
Make sculpture out of polystyrene, computers, plastic, metal, anything! Become a techno junky. Wear technology!
ANY
YONE can make or be art.
Exhibit on the street. Exhibit on yourself. Glue your piece to Alan Bond’s front door
!
RIGHT OF ACCESS TO ALL DATA.
Graffiti artists: start cyber-tagging.
DON’T BE RUDE: talk to your fax machine.
CIVILIZ
ZATION DESTROYS the world so lets digitize it and and save the entire society on mainframe laser disk. All humans and the junk they produce will be sealed inside a huge computer. Forget the meat of your bodies. Full-on brain experiences await you inside a computer. Even have sex with a computer.
!
INTE R FACE Your true life and aspirations are inhibited by the weak flesh of your body-your body is a burden. It is simply meat. Wetware can enhance it. Cyborg implants bring you closer to true experience.
Jack in to neutro-circuits. Once all people, objects, senses, and experiences are digitized onto laser disk (with backup copies) the real world can finally breathe a sigh of relief as man has disappeared forever. He has already tried to create his own envionment, now the potential is here! Organic life is no longer a valid lifestyle. Fully synthesized environments where all physical and emotional feelings can be chemically simulated. Soon it will be possible to inject a biological computer to program your brain, extend your life,
ANYTHING.
THIS IS YOUR
FUT
TURE
!
You are your consciousness, don’t let a physical existence fool you. Physical bodies are superseded, replace your body with machine and computer components. And become superhuman
Self-sufficient society, solar powered.We can now venture to the limtis of the cosmos because we are not bound by earthly dimensions. Cybernetics does not discriminate by looks, race, sex, spacies because it is pure brain to brain communication. Jack in your neurons to complete expression and communication to self. Be free of disease, food, be totally efficient. Learn technology. Modern man’s aesthetic is grounded in pre 20th century decorativeness, and over indulgent art theorising.
The new aeshetic is computer generated
CYBER
DADA.
The new species are cyborgs, man/machines, precise superior flawless beings to house our consciousness and create a new world.
DON’T BE AFRAID: CYBER DADA
LEARN TECHNOL0GY:
DON’T BE AFRAID.
By wearing circuitry you will represent the new age. Take electronics apart and see what they really are. Learn electronics, computer programming: the arts of the future. Don’t be intimidated by flashing lights and buzzing, and computers that look like microwave ovens! Master technology so it wont beat you as it rapidly fills the world. Technology controls the world so if you control technology...... The end of the world is coming, but it is the beginning of a perfect techno world.
STOP REVIVING OLD CULTURES-
HAVE NEW ONES
!!!!
The youth of today have become complacentand apathetic, easily controlled by advertising, the media, and unscrupulous governments. Let the top of the hierarchy know that they can’t use technology to control us, but that we are fully integrated with technology
AND IT IS OURS.
!
DIGTIZE THE WORLD
It's time to interface with technology and understand it. KNOW it personally. Get
TECH. out of the establishment and into the streets.
DIVE IN CYBERSPACE where all feelings and physical realities can be psycho-chemically simulated.
DON’T B EXP C
BE AFRAID: POSE YOUR CIRCUITRY. COME TO TERMS WITH TODAY’S MATERIALS. The future will come whether you like it or not so be ready for it.
PAINTING HAS DIED AGAIN: stop using purely old materials like oil and canvas. It will not last in a cyber world.
(WHICH WILL COME WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT).
Art, life, and the world are becoming increasingly meaningless so
!
CYBER DADA IS POPULAR CULTURE, IT’S TODAY’S SOCIETY AND IT’S FUTURE
