International Festival Talks to Rotterdam
"Live in your world. Play in ours" - Playstation 2 The invitation issues mobility in relation to contemporary artistic production. International Festival addressed mobility as a mode of production where notions of control, striation and activation produce possibilities of individualtion. With some nice assistance from commercials and a tops video projector somekind of entertainment came out.
To be playful, we are in the midst of a shift from the Age of the Robber-Barons to the Age of the Geeks and are seeing the first signs of the age to follow, the Age of the Gurus. Robber-barons love dominance hierarchies and excel in manipulating scarce atoms to their personal advantage. Their economic principles derive from scarcity, supply and demand, and organizational size. They are the capitalists of the material world.
Though we are wise to enforce safeguards in the emerging mobility economy against the abuse of spiritual power or spiritual piracy, I believe that bringing the theosphere more fully into the economy will produce the most radical revolution this planet has ever seen - a democratization of the best tools of mobility from every wisdom tradition. As such, it is not to be feared but encouraged. Those who build the scaffolding to support a mature mobility economy will become very wealthy, but will be called upon to exemplify enlightened stewardship in the management of that wealth. And the combination of these two things will constitute a true revolution. |
