TUNICA – Issue 8 💚💙🩷

“Reloaded”

Science fiction is being invoked.

Technology has just been an extension of ourselves beyond our current
physical limits.

As we grow, we upload our consciousness to the web.

Our identities are all enmeshed.

Time is distorted by virtual form.

When we pass away, our digital footprint lives on forever.

The body is empowered through expansion.

New worlds are being imagined and communicated with beyond objective
reality.

The truth is we are already cyborgs.

The lie is in the horizon.

While everyday acts of utopian longing reject existence.

The future exists to critique the present.

Someday this ironic system will fail and be replaced by something much
greater.
