'Play Your Part' Manifesto
PLAY YOUR PART, WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?
PLANET; THIS FORMATION BEGAN ROUGHLY 4.600 MILLION YEARS AGO; A TIMELINE OF ROCKS; OCEANS; BACTERIA; SULPHUR; RISING OXYGEN; MULTI-CELLULAR ORGANISMS; ALGAE; HARD SHELLED ANIMALS; DINOSAURS; SOIL; LAND; PLANTS; FLOWERS; MAMMALS; HOMO SAPIENS; SOCIETY. MEANWHILE, THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PLANET AND NATURE IS SLOWLY DETACHING. IN NATURE WE FEAR DIFFERENCE; IN THE PLANET WE WELCOME CHANGE. GLOBAL WARMING HAS THE CLIMATE SYSTEM HEATING; THE ENVIRONMENT SMASHES THROUGH THE MONOPOLY OF CAPITALIST INVENTIONS, ALWAYS; RETHINKING, REBUILDING, RECREATING. IN THE EXPLORATION OF THE CONTINENTS WE SEARCH FOR THE ANSWER, YET SO MUCH DIVIDE, BARRIERS, BORDERS. DERIVING FROM THE OCEANS WE’VE BANISHED WITH OUR APATHETIC MINDS; BLEACHING THE CORALS; CONSUMING THE FOOD; CONTAMINATING THE BLUE HUE. TRAVELLING FOR SURVIVAL; ON HIGHWAYS; MOTORWAYS; AEROPLANES, THE GREEN LAND THAT NURTURED US IS REPLACED WITH INDUSTRIALISATION; POWER PLANTS, OIL ENGINES, PETROL ENGINES, DEFORESTATION, RADIATION, ANIMAL PRODUCTION. RESHAPING THE PARADIGM; RISING OF SEA LEVELS; MELTING ICE CAPS, THE MOVEMENT OF HABITATS; PROBING FOR A NEW HOME. THE LONG HAUL DROUGHTS, HIGHER INTENSITY OF HEAT LEVELS; ABNORMAL WEATHER PATTERNS; THIS HURTS THE THIRD. GREETINGS TO THE UNWELCOMED, THE MASS DISPLACEMENT OF INHABITANTS, UNMANAGEABLE OVERPOPULATION, SCARCITY OF RESOURCES, FEAR OF FREEDOM; THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF MANKIND; WE ARE OVER CAPACITY. THIS IS THE PLANET! RAPIDLY CHANGING CONSTRUCTION, COURSE, CYCLE, AND COLOUR. PLAY YOUR PART. PLAY TO PRESERVE THE LAND, SUSTAIN THE OCEANS, ZERO THE WASTE, LOWER THE POLLUTION, BE CREATIVE WITH CONSUMPTION, LOWER WATER USAGE, EMBRACE MASS TRANSIT, CYCLING, ELECTRONIC TRANSPORTATION, ENERGY EFFICIENCY; COMPOST, REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE. THE POWER OF ART IS THE SALVATION; CONTINUING TO EMBARK ON THE VISUAL DISCIPLINE JOURNEY, AS ART AWAKENS EMPATHY WITHIN MANKIND’S DETACHED MASS. THE PRESTIGE OF ART CAN RESCUE THE PLANET; ART IS LIFE; LIFE IS ART.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THIS ISN’T EVEN OUR PLANET, BUT IT’S OUR ONLY HOME?
LIFE; IT FIRST APPEARED ALMOST 4 MILLION YEARS AGO; THE LIFE SEQUENCE BEGINS WITH PROKARYOTIC FOSSILS; FISH; PLANTS; FORESTS; AMPHIBIANS; REPTILES; DINOSAURS; BIRDS; FLOWERS; BEES; MAMMALS; GREAT APES; HOMO SAPIENS. MOVING IN CONJUNCTION OF THE LIFE CYCLE; 5 MAJOR MASS EXTINCTIONS EMERGE; WITH THE 6TH EXTINCTION IN PROGRESS *WATCH THIS SPACE. LIFE FIGHTS TO SURVIVE. EVOLUTIONARY NATURE HAS PLANS TO ERADICATE RECORDED HISTORY, SCIENTIFIC TRANSCRIPTS, AND ALL LIVING THINGS. IF HUMANS SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED TOMORROW; TREES AND PLANTS WILL RETURN TO NATURAL GROWTH; CO2 WILL ABSORB QUICKER; WINTERS GET COLDER; NORTHERN COUNTRIES ARE COVERED BY ICE; SPECIES THAT WERE HUNTED NOW REPRODUCE FREELY; ROADS BECOME OVERGROWN WITH TREES; BUILDINGS COLLAPSE; NEW ECOSYSTEMS FORM IN CITIES; OCEANS RECOVER FROM OVER-FISHING; CO2 CREATED BY HUMANS HAS VANISHED; RIVERS RETURN TO THEIR NATURAL COURSE; FORESTS RETURN TO SUPERIOR CONDITIONS; NUCLEAR WASTE IS THE ONLY VESTIGE OF HUMAN LIFE. LIFE DOES NOT NEED HUMANITY FOR SUSTAINABLE SURVIVAL; HUMANITY REQUIRES LIFE TO CONTINUE TO EXIST. THE NATURAL COURSE OF ELIMINATION HAS BECOME SECONDARY; LIFE HAS TO EMBARK ON ALTERING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR CONTINUITY; CREATURE’S DISINTEGRATING; POLAR BEARS, SEA LIONS, PENGUINS, STATUS ENDANGERED; SNOW LEOPARD, GIANT PANDA, TIGERS, STATUS VULNERABLE; CHEETAH, ELEPHANTS, LIONS; THE MARINES’ RISE; AS WHALES AND WALRUSES CRY. THE EARTH’S SOIL HAS 60 YEARS LEFT; KIND REGARDS, INTENSIVE FARMING; RUNNING OUT OF TIME; FOOD HAS DISAPPEARED; NO MORE HARVESTS; FOOD ARMAGEDDON; TIME TO EVACUATE. THIS BEAUTIFUL STURDY BLUE AND GREEN PLANET COMPLETE WITH LIFE GROWTH, WILL ONE DAY ABSORB THE RUBBISH WE PRODUCE, FORGETTING OUR EXISTENCE AND PROPELLING ONWARDS. THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS ENTERS ITS LAST SEGMENT,
