Keep on Smiling

Today marks the zenith of techno-utopianism.  From its origins in the counter-culture through to the anarcho-capitalism of today's tech giants, Silicon Valley's guiding ideology has rebuilt the world in its own image.  The original prophets of techno-utopianism shunned politics and instead sought to change the world through action. The businesses their ideas inspired now run the world.  

Recently, as their beliefs have marched rightwards, senior figures in Silicon Valley have decided to become directly involved with politics.  We urgently need to understand their ideology, and its flaws, if we are to resist their power.

The network is the ultimate symbol of techno-utopianism.  To techno-utopians, everything is a network.   Society is a network.  The brain is a network.  The economy, cities, companies, libraries: they're all networks.  Lets take one specific example: the city.  Techno-utopians romanticise the slum and the favela to argue that cities can be self-organising systems.   They say that planning control destroys the very lifeblood of cities, and removes citizen's agency.  

Today's tech giants say they will free us from the communist terror of mass-transit and brutalist housing blocks.  Around the world, they are attempting to build new cities from the ground up, governed by software and paid for by cryptocurrency.  

But the language and iconography they use to describe these projects obscures the anti-democratic nature of their own technology.  That a system is decentralized does not mean it is democratic.  Indeed, their main aim appears to be to create chaos, through disruption and division, so they can rule this new world like feudal princlings.

**“Techno-Utopian Iconography”** invites the viewer to look at anew at cities and at self-organising systems.  In this techno-utopian vision of the city,  the austere geometric forms of the modernists may have gone, but the stochastic forms of computerised networks and self-organising systems are no less artificial.  When we pare the city down to something as inhuman as a network, as a data-flow, what have we lost?

THIS IS A BLIND MINT!  Increase your quantity to increase your odds! "Mental Health is Wealth" is a new kind of currency: digital banknotes that offer a different kind of Wealth!  When you mint you will receive one of 10 randomized works from 8 artists, all with equal weight. Art from Efdot, Dave Krugman, Mumbot, Adamtastic, Faith Love, Sutu, and Aoife O'Dwyer are editions of 500.  After the first 5000 mints, the art from David Oku and Flostitanarum will continue in open editions. At Amplifier.org we build visual campaigns to amplify the most important movements of our times -by any medium necessary.  This year, we are focusing on mental health and wellbeing because, with stress, anxiety, and depression on the rise, it's crucial that we take care of ourselves and each other, and especially our children, who will be navigating this world long after we're gone.  We started minting our own currency in 2023, so that we could fund art commissions and the building of teaching toolkits around mental health and wellbeing for K-12 classrooms, re-envisioning mental health as the TRUE wealth.  We continue that tradition this year to reach even more young people! This drop will fund the distribution of mental health and wellbeing toolkits and artwork to Amplifier's 20,000+ classrooms across the country, reaching millions of students. The goal is to involve as many people as possible in conversations about mental health and wellbeing in classrooms, but also in our community of Web3 artists and collectors. Amplifier is a non-profit media lab building visual campaigns to amplify the most important movements of our times -by any medium necessary. Learn more about us, and checkout our work on mental health for classrooms and beyond (all available as free high resolution downloads!) at Amplifier.org.    Oh, and we have a bonus: Anyone holding all 10 unique works at time of snapshot will be airdropped new currency by Jisu and Rizzle!  Stay tuned for snapshot time/date via @amplifierart!

Mister Dementor stands triumphant over Burnie, his diamond form shimmering against the fiery backdrop. Did you believe you could outshine me, he taunts. This moment in the BurnieVerse isn't just a defeat; it's a declaration.

The BurnieVerse - Chapter 1-24

Burnie, I need you more than you know. Your essence is key to my power. The world will soon see that I am the author of space and time.

The BurnieVerse - Chapter 1-25

In the heat of battle, a rift in the sky erupts, forcing Mister Dementor to retreat and leaving Burnie questioning the chaos unraveling around him. Catching his breath in this fleeting moment, he braces for what lies ahead, but what dark mysteries are waiting to reveal themselves?

The BurnieVerse - Chapter 1-26

Mister Dementor, with a sly grin, holds Burnie's fire at his fingertip. What secrets do I hold? he taunts, hinting at deeper magic.

The BurnieVerse - Chapter 1-27

Burnie notices a message from below, a desperate cry out for help. The next piece to #theburnieverse puzzle.

The BurnieVerse - Chapter 1-28

With her heart heavy for Burnie, caged by diamond, Ice Queen Icina is startled as the earth splits, Flora's face formed by vines pleads, Please, free me, then fades, leaving her with a choice that could change everything.
