In "Dystopia," I invite you to contemplate the intricate dance of societal norms, as a meticulously woven utopia gradually strains, twists, and reflects into a haunting dystopia, revealing the claustrophobia of conformity and encouraging a reflection on the vulnerability of the human spirit within a world dominated by rigid order.

This Is Not an Exit invites you to transcend the confines of the material world and pursue the limitless realms of imagination and creativity.

“During the day we unconsciously seek the lost images of our dreams and this is why, when we encounter an image that resembles a dream image, we believe we already know it and we say that merely to see it makes us dream.” Salvador Dali

Why are we so sure about not living on someone's life simulation? Reality is a game. What kind of game? A video game, maybe? Why not?

The ancient democracy was inclusive only for a small group of citizens: the so-called polis. It did not include women, slaves, or foreigners among others. Our modern democracy in its present form, at least on paper, promises to every citizen and every resident, rich or poor, the fundamental rights, including the right to communicate in public space, to speak fearlessly and fearlessly listen.

"In the Kulturforum canteen, Neeb finished his coffee. “It can help us shape our thoughts,” he said. “It can help us find and articulate our opinions. On an individual level. More than that…” He paused for a second. “We shouldn’t overestimate the power of art,” he said. “But we shouldn’t underestimate what it can do either.” *

A literal translation of a chess game into a mind map. A game between the person's mind within itself. Every move made by the player has a twin brush line. Every brushstroke repesents each move made by the player which creates map looks a lot like calligraphy. Contemporary calligraphic practice can be defined as "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner". In this case, a game of chess gives form to signs in an expressive manner. And it creates the symbol. What is fascinating is that the symbol, the map, represents one’s mind in a game within itself. It’s weird because I think it’s a departure from a certain narrative that all these other things that we are doing more now are the things that we did before. So in a way, it’s kind of trying to control not falling into this ineartia of what we should be doing or will do.

"We are like a drop of water in a vast, divine ocean, distinct yet immersed in something much larger than ourselves. It’s only when we experience our connection to infinity that we’re able to dream powerfully." Alberto Villoldo

“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.” Cesar A. Cruz

I kept seeing these patterns in every city, which I began to frame as conditions of life as we know it. ''Towns and buildings will not be able to come alive unless they are made by all people in society, and unless these people share a common pattern language, within which to make these buildings.”

Did the Mad Hatter and the others pretend to be mad to bedevil Alice? Was this Carroll’s playful intention? Who knows? We do know that on occasion officials considered feigning madness to bedevil enemies, it gets curiouser and curiouser.

souvenir (n.) 1775, "a remembrance or memory," from French souvenir (12c.), from Old French noun use of souvenir (v.)
