/panˈdɛmɪk/
adjective - (of a disease) prevalent over a whole country or the world.
Origin: -mid 17th century: from Greek pandēmos (from pan 'all' + dēmos 'people') + -ic
We wish to promote the ideas of reclaiming real life spaces and images in response to the advanced capitalist dystopia we now find
ourselves in. We now experience life through an abstraction in the form of advertising, prescribed gender and social roles and media manipulation which leads to the us living in a substitute for reality instead of living reality itself. Via television documentaries we have armchair tourism, via royal spectacles we have emotional tourism, via soap operas we have drama and intrigue, via reality T.V we are given "reality". We advocate that we: create not consume; question not accept, and act and not just
dream.
The purpose of PANDEMIC is to inspire as many people as possible, to spread like a DISEASE - we wish to kill BOREDOM and replace it with the CREATION of a better life.
We already have many visual artists, writers, activists, lecturers, performers and musicians involved and there is always room for more. We remain open to anybody.
