OUR VISION
 
 

As artists we are constantly struggling with the duality of art as a means of expression as opposed to a means of subsistence. The fact of the matter is; the best art is almost never the best selling art. As Alexander Hamilton once pointed out "the masses are asses". Society is laden with mediocrity by its very nature and we simply cannot expect it to be otherwise. The best art is always ahead of its time and rarely has a large following. Vincent Van Gogh, arguably the 19th century's most influential painter never sold a single painting while he was alive. In frustration he cut off his own ear as his work went largely unrecognized until his death. While Van Gogh's story is widely publicized, there are countless others that go unnoticed, undocumented, melting away into time as history that will never be written. 

While realizing the desperate nature of our situation we must not lose sight of the many benefits the 21st century has brought us. Today more than ever before, we as individuals have access to resources that will allow our voices to be heard. While slowly bringing the corporate world to its knees, a redistribution of wealth facilitated by the information age has given us the artillery and ammunition to pursue our own assault on capitalism. What was once a largely inaccessible pipedream has turned into a fuzzy reality. 

Today we are here to bring you our message. Today we urge you not to succumb to the powers that wish to exploit your talent and vision. Today we insist that you arm yourselves and struggle violently against the forces of greed and oppression shaping public opinion. Today we remind you not only to be warriors but to be scholars as well. There is no greater power on this earth than knowledge and never has that been more evident than it is today. 

Our goal is to bring together art, music and information from all corners of the globe in seamless harmony creating an orifice through which our message will resonate louder and clearer than the voices of politicians for whom we do not vote and corrupt business leaders that consistently exploit our very existence. 

We are not here to make money, we also don't give a fuck about what anyone thinks or doesn't think. Our mission is clear and we will stick to it regardless of any obstacles that are certain to present themselves in our path. We urge anyone interested in what we are doing to contact us. Although we welcome all forms of expression, we are not open to viewpoints that are not aligned or congruent to our broad perspective on art, music, politics and the general state of our society.
