Martin Firrell, public artist, has produced a trailer to be seen at Curzon cinemas in London, before film sessions. Very interesting, provocative and actual. I just wanted to share that. You can see it by clicking here. The text is the following:
<<
Globalisation can only work where tastes can be globalised, where we're ready to accept less difference, less variety.
In a globalised world everyone comes to look the same, expect the same, buy, think and believe the same.
And perhaps it doesn't matter that our ideas of beauty - our tastes - are created by commerce: except that culture goes where the money is.
It's not who's right. But who's richest.
Difference becomes something to be altered, cut, reshaped, removed.
And when it seems natural to the majority to remove difference - jew, gay, disabled, romany - we all know the end is already in sight.
Only an appreciation of the value of difference can save us from ourselves.
Terrorism will not end the world, it's the homogenisation of ideas, culture and people that will bring about our collective downfall.
Security is not liberty.
Wealth is not freedom.
Control is not strength.
'different' is not 'wrong'.
A loud voice is not charisma.
Shopping is not happiness.
Ownership is not love.
