Kolonaki Commercial Market of Athens / Void Network Against the Market

it all started 10.30 in the morning...23 November 2007
We brought 8000 Watt in the high luxury commercial center of Athens / Kolonaki sq. / the perfect symbol of neoliberal cynicism and bourgouasie apathy.
We prepared the sound system and dj Kernecolemode started playing total noise...
For sure...
It was not possible to consume happily and enjoy shopping

The owners of the cafeterias appeared first, then came the owners of the shops
all of them shouting in the middle of the total noise that "nobody can buy anything under this circumstances" and "nobody can stay in their shops with all this noise"...
Everything was under control...The plan was working!
Then the police appeared...

It took us half an hour to negotiate with the police...They said that they will arrest us all as long we don't go away after 2.00 o clock...This made us shout louder / we could not go on until the night / unfortunately Furokawa collective had to wait for the next total noise attack of Void Network to the city market. The poets made the noise louder shouting Wake Up! to the rich consumers/ 
Shouting Help!The earth is Dying!Your Life is dying!
The Void Manifestos was making the people wonder...
Many super-ego rich people came near by 
to tell us go away, many young and rich people 
wanted to make fight with us to defend their identity...
many old people found it 
interesting to speak with us 
(under all this noise)
many people they was just standing, looking at the sky,
thinking, taking our flyer in their hands to read
to have a moment of introspection...
Many people say that 
we need just a moment for to change our mind
We hope this moment happened today

Bρισκόμαστε στην άθλια εποχή των πιο σπουδαίων άθλων...
Η ασημαντότητα δομεί σταδιακά τη νέα κυριαρχία.
Ύπνωση , συναίνεση , αποδοχή είναι τα εργαλεία της σύγχρονης κυβερνητικής. Η κυνική απάθεια επιδικνύει την πλούσια λάμψη της , οι μεταμοντέρνοι αστοί απολαμβάνουν διανόηση και κουρνιάζουν στις ανέραστες κρυψώνες τους.
Οι ελαφροϊσκιωτοι αρτίστες έσπασαν τον σβέρκο τους πέφτοντας
στον τρόμο του κενού.
Η σκέψη πεθαίνει στα τυφλά απογεύματα της εξάντλησης των νεαρών εργαζομένων...
Βρισκόμαστε στην εποχή των σπουδαίων θαυμάτων όπου
οι άνθρωποι της επιστήμης ,
με τη βοήθεια και τις ευλογίες της κυβέρνησης , προσφέρουν δωρεάν τεχνογνωσία και πληροφορία για τον αμοιβαίο και ολοκληρωτικό αφανισμό της γης και των πολιτισμών της.
Πρόοδος!Πρόοδος και λοιπόν?
Κάντε την ένα ευανάγνωστο μυθιστόρημα αν μπορείτε ,
κάντε την ένα χάδι , ένα χαμόγελο ,
ένα δάκρυ χαράς!
Πρόοδος!Πρόοδος...ε...και Λοιπόν?
Κάντε την μια γιορτή ανοιχτή για όλους άμα μπορείτε , κάντε την έντονη κουβέντα με φίλους ως το πρωί ,
κάντε την έρωτα πριν το ξημέρωμα αν μπορείτε , κάντε την ένα κατηλημένο σχολείο , κάντε την ένα πιάτο φαί
και λευκά τραπεζομάντηλα στην άκρη του καταυλισμού των αστέγων.
Όμως μην αερολογείτε για τη ζωή και την τέχνη , μην είστε τυμβωρύχοι...
μην μας αραδιάζετε αρλούμπες για φιλοσοφία , πολιτική , κουλτούρα ,
ποπ είδωλα , ευρωπαϊκό πολιτισμό
και εθνική υπερηφάνεια...
Αφήστε καλύτερα τους ποιητές ,
τους τρελούς , τους περιπλανώμενους ταξιδευτές , τους εκστασιασμένους σχοινοβάτες να πλέξουν
το ηλεκτρισμένο νήμα μιας άγνωστης μελλοντικής αγάπης.
Δεν υπάρχει τίποτα καθαρό , τίποτα υγιές , τίποτα ελπιδοφόρο σε αυτή την εποχή των θαυμάτων -
εκτός ίσως από τον λόγο...
Και οι εξεγερμένοι θα έχουν ίσως την τελευταία λέξη...

From the pleasures
will born the daring and the laugh that doesn't care
for the commands and the the law,
the value, the price, the order and the measure.
With the power of the collective happiness
and the audacity of celebration we will eliminate
whatever still tries
to judge, to repress, to sentence,
to prohibit and to govern

Από τις απολαύσεις θα γεννηθεί
η τόλμη και το γέλιο που αγνοεί τις διαταγές
και αδιαφορεί για τους νόμους, τις αξίες και το μέτρο. Μέσα από τη συλλογική χαρά και το θράσος της γιορτής θα αφανίσουμε ό,τι εξακολουθεί να κρίνει, να καταστέλλει, να καταδικάζει, να απαγορεύει και να κυβερνά.

EXPAND YOUR MIND ! / a void art film made by Global Eye and Void Network

The threat of expulsion in the absence of conformity:
This state of fear disables the individual.
A mental control that subsequently becomes physically manifest.
We believe
that societies’ biggest impairment is the belief that any one of us or even all of us are not capable of improving our world for the better. The root of this impairment is solely mental, not physical.
As a result, we aim to fight power structures
while empowering the individual as well as collective consciousness.
The very existence of
international financial, political, religious, intellectual and artistic Elites has resulted in the denial of Freedom of speech, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Open Public Assembly, Freedom of Mutual Aid and Collaboration.
Placing “art” solely in an art context is, in a way, relegating it to exist only within that context.
Restricting the distribution of and opportunities to access new ideas and emotions is something "govern-mental" institutions do.
Why voluntarily censor yourself?
We see Art, Philosophy, Critical Thinking, Enthusiasm, Collective Ecstasy and Revolt as mental and emotional practices perfectly suited as a tool for enablement,
a mental liberator that in turn can lead
to positive physical revolutionary changes.

Void Art Film: American President Ecology PsychoDub

The "parental" eyes of the future president

will be as cold and vicious
as the eyes of all the past and dead presidents.
The Earth is assassinated.
We have to Grow up !
Fast and Sudden
as a thunder in the cloudy night!
We will raise our hands up
like antennas in the skies!
And we will meet each other!
...to find new Solutions
in very old problems...

V.I.P. Earth Tragedy / video by Global Eye / London Void Network

money makes the world go wrong
planet earth is an alive paradise
but our life is limited in Necropolis
we have to fight
like a vast wave
that crashes on the city fronts
first we appear
then we exist
then we take our life back

visiting Alcatraz prison U.S.A.
music:
California Sunshine>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There are millions of people in the prisons today...And for as long as even one person is still in prison no one will ever be really free...The imprisonment industry will grow, the law will capture day by day every moment and every side of everyday life and all the social causes that brought these people in prison will be sustained...The authorities that decide the life and death of all of us will still be there...
Who will protect us from our protectors?

solidarity for all prisoners
