A MANIFESTO
FOR ACTION
ON A
WORLD

1.1 - This is art
Art that brings you nothing is not for me. There was debate about the art, many different forms.
Coding is art.
Making is art.
Technology is art.
It is about confronting and enlarging the sense of what is possible in the art form. For me, it is about complexity of paradoxical natures - where the digital meets the physical.
The key for us: it is an art form. // Art is just another problem solving tool

1.2 - The world as we know it
The ominous change has happened stealthily and under cover of night: the gradual but steady consumption of today. The situation, sadly, is that we have a world that's becoming increasingly dominated and even belittled for financial gain. Nature revetted and re-modified until it’s ready for consumption. This is happening in many places around this country and around the world. The act fills me with terrible sadness.

1.3 - Hope may fade
I might have been excited by these pictures of the universe. For anyone who dreams of the future, the moment is brutal. But the danger of today's dismissive emotion demands everything - it can’t really be any other way.
It's a perilous time...

1.4 - I will not give up // Though sometimes I feel like it
There was an extraordinary event. It created chemistry. It was electrifying. And the climax takes place on elegant compositions with emotions at the centre of the story. The climax is a feat, but it's profoundly unsettling.

I make no demands, only pledges!

1) If you have the capacity to help, you must. I will.
2) We will create, understand and share.
3) Technology can be used for good or evil, and we must use it for good.
4) Embrace a world with technology, this is evolution.
5) We can fix this. // I'm pretty sure...
6) These improvements belong to all // Open Source!

The Environment Machine Shop

This is a shop where changes can happen - connections between physical and digital ecologies are created - to work towards healing our planet. This shop is a mindset, a commitment to do what I can. This shop is a physical place where ideas and solutions are created. This shop is a place that gives me hope.
