Hey everyone,
I am Dangiuz. Many of you here are already familiar with my work, as we’ve connected and chatted over the past 6 years, and I’m truly grateful for the consistent support this community has shown me.
A few weeks ago, I published my Romantic Cyberpunk Manifesto. It took me months to get right and it represents the culmination of more than 15 years of visual practice, research and study. The text is extensive, demanding and at times technical, so I don’t expect it to be read in one sitting or even in full, at all. That said, I’m not a writer and English isn’t my first language… And yet the response from those who have engaged with it has been deeply encouraging, to the point that I felt it was worth sharing it with you, as well.
I’ll include the opening excerpt below. If it resonates with you, you can continue reading via the link at the end of this message, or download it as a file and read at a later time.
Thank you so much for every bit of attention you will decide to give to this one.
Best,
Dangiuz
"I never planned to write a manifesto. For about fifteen years I made work, shared it, moved on to the next piece. But lately I've been noticing something about the fragments I leave scattered across social media. Quick thoughts about art, technology, what's happening to human attention, how systems work when they stop looking like systems. They're all pieces of the same observation, the same slow-motion documentation of a curve I've been tracking since I started making art."
