Everything we do is our nature. It is that hacking that makes us human, I believe. I think we MUST hack, or over-ride, the dumbing-down conditioning that are "masters" have imposed on us. The docile sheep lets the masters trim its wool... and eat its flesh. We must counteract the negative influence with positive. Balance.
Dankity- There are signed prints of both of those images in matte AND canvas right now.
Thanks for all the feedback guys!

IMHO, metaprogramming via evolution is the "hacking" we are doing on culture en mass. Kinda like the max planck quote-
“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. ”
The same goes for the dogmatic beliefs and self destructive behavior mutating our culture, or possibly being "hacked" by manipulative powers.
The point being is that its evolution happening rapidly. Peoples minds have been changing faster and faster at realizing our flaws and finding solutions, and realizing that the dogmas from the past are just that and need to be cast aside.
Eventually the enlightened that see the limitless benefit from casting aside dogma and embracing the need for change, will out number those that hack the system to try and hang on to their illogic and the benefit it gives them in some cases.
The ability and desire for people to culturally evolve into something better than what we have has been accelerating faster and faster as we have moved through history imho, the last 200 years especially, eerily reminiscent of TMK's timewave zero concept.
Newer generations will see the error/mistakes of the older ones, and evolve to fix our problems. Evolve culturally and intellectually as to embracing whats possible, and what limits us and how we can change that. Other wise we have serious problems.
Either way, artists, scientists, psychologists, engineers, etc will all have their part.
But you could just listen to rush closer to the heart for a much more elegant way of saying what i just did :lol:.
Its evolution happening right before our eyes, a new dominant trait, fighting to replace the outdated and unsustainable ways of the previous.
Beautiful prints BTW. You say hacking i say metaprogram/evolve but its basically the same idea. Good to see an artist moving us closer to the heart.
Keep up the good work!
