Team Voodoo Delirium - 2009_v.5.pptx
|
We are going with the idea that TIME is our greatest menace and illusion, that makes us go forward so fast, that we are leaving behind all who cannot pick up the pace in this race. Thus, the problems, or the 8 UN millennium goals had to be set, as people do not feel obligated to consider, what they do not see. There is a very low awareness about the global problems which cause misery to most of the planet's population. But we do not seem to care, as we do not have the time for that, as we need to ego-maniacally follow only our own path with no regard what so ever towards the problems which are far out from our scope.
The time is running by, we live and die, but we change nothing, we leave no footprint, no trail, that generations to come could use to set things right. At least, we are not leaving a positive one.
We came up with the time concept, because it embodies our idea. The watch represents our planet and our lives. When the "Watchmaker" made the watch, and gave it to the people, it was in perfect shape. Our mismanagement, or better to say, our negligence caused the problems at hand. We are the cogs, bolts and gears of that watch, but we all need to work together towards betterment. We are as strong, as our weakest part. The point is that we drive the problems further toward worse by just ignoring them, and ironically, we are the only ones who can repair the problem, as we are the perfect technology for that task.
The point is, which problems will emerge after we fix current ones. These 8 are currently on top of the charts. But where the trail ends?
We need to be aware that you can break a glass. Then you can glue it back together. It will never be the same again, as all the seams will be visible. Our world can never again be perfect, but we can save what we have, only by acting now.
Take care,
Team Voodoo Delirium

Project Overview:
Answer:
We believe that human beings with their minds are the best technology to be used worldwide. We present the problem of society that missuses the technology, and slowly converges towards a submissive position. We forget who invented what, and who should be the ones directing the technology flow, not the other way around.
People used to be technological beings. People used to be technological individuals. Today, technology is an materialized obstacle. Technology is a pole set too high to leap over, and man has ceased to be the one to jump over it.
