EXHIBITIONS / THE LIQUID PHOENIX: SUPERIOR SAUCE OF PURE ENERGY
28.04.2011 to 21.05.2011
In the future - having eradicated all cyborg and humanoid artists - the Machines slowly become despondent toward their machine art AKA The Machinaism. Mother-machine has concluded that robo Mechinaism is more time and cost efficient but lacks what the great Apple-Eye sees from the human art.
A group of humans known as Renesistancism bread purely for art making have begun to flourish. Mechartcritics develop a taste for the superior sauce of artistic energy - not unlike The Matrix. The Renesistance hive is buzzing with new material as a hacked channel into Mothermind extracts folders of monk scrolls, ancient humanoid relics and highly rare VHS recordings of the ancient world.
As the Liquid Phoenix of Renesistancism rises Apple-hard-core-drive appears back on the screen. Awakening from deep energy saving sleep, the founder and Fatherboard of Machinaism announces a challenge to all humanoids of Mechart combat.
Who will delete Android-Apple-hard-core and drive the rebirth?
