So this is only the entry point, the project may permutating and expanding into another realm or it may not, depending on how relevant still the project and the ideas and values behind it at the particular time to keep riding on it.

this blog, digital dimension is a medium to record, capture, grab, portion of everyday signs and signifier toward the day. To find solution of being right in the past, present and future... to see it as one single dead...to keep (some) honesty...to not lying too much..to see the process, circumstances as part of it...to not packaging truth...to get naked...to put life into dead or the other way around...for some sense of stability and permanence... immortallity...to live it now... to see it growing, expanding, mutating, and dying... as it is...to keep on learning, giving and taking...

death as a concept here is not about being pessimistic, losing energy or end of life, but rather the other way around. It means reborn, metamorphosis, growing, moving on and gaining new energy  all the time - a new beginning. The battle is always about old and new and the richness  tonal color of gray is in between how much people want to keep themselves in the old and to dare to stepping into the new. The battle is always there happening in different realms of life whether it's individual, social, cultural or political. To understand that death and life is sitting next to each other and the duality is almost no distinction in between, part of us somehow is always dying and losing. There are things we are going to loose in every decision and action. To realise it, to get  involve and participate and to admit it is part of this. Everything that fall under this situation is part of this. This is about it. This is the movement. Towards a more open, freer, democratic self and society! (within the limitation that I have :- ) ehemm!.. power to the imagination!)
