Our mission is to co-create extraordinary art that connects with contemporary audiences providing innovative, engaging and inclusive digital and physical spaces for appreciating and participating in practices in art, technology and social change. As well as finding alternative ways around already dominating hegemonies, thus claiming for ourselves and our peer networks a culturally aware and critical dialogue beyond traditional hierarchical behaviours. Influenced by situationist theory, fluxus, free and open source culture, and processes of self-education and peer learning, in an art, activist and community context.

As memories fade + wander back again
images loose the pain that living gives
dealing with existence
trying to discover essence
it lies outside/inside over,
around us
maybe we never had it,
just neurotics dealing with fear
but memories are our guidelines,
our connexion
to learning what is and what isn't
external space
it grows out there

memories fade and
wander back again
can we grow,
begin to learn/relearn
as worlds out there blow up and expand?
Implode
while we assess our smallness
uncomfortably,
too often
Deus is myth,
a part of our lives
reality is perception,
as is unreality
do we really want more,
is it such a bore?
We deal consequence
and situation
modeling ourselves
on fickle ideals
age creates
retro/wisdom can lie
