'Whatever human art is, it is telling us something very deep about the structure of how things are: ‘the structure of how things are’ being a pretty good paraphrase of the word ‘ontology’.' 'OOO [object-oriented ontology] thinks of art not as decoration, but as the fundamental operation of cause and effect. To make an artwork is to interfere directly with the realm of causes and effects.' 'Restructuring or destructuring this logistics, which elsewhere I’ve called agrilogistics, is the one thing that would end global warming, but it is usually considered out of bounds, because it implies accepting a non-‘modern’ view, a view established on (although it thinks itself as a further disenchantment of) now ancient and obviously violent monotheisms, which in turn find their origin in the privatisation of enchantment in the Neolithic with its ‘civilisation’. We are all still Mesopotamians. We are Neolithic humans confronting the disaster the Neolithic fantasy of smoothly functioning agricultural logistics has wrought, and we want to hold on to the philosophical underpinnings of those logistics for dear life…' 'The 1970s ecofeminists were correct. We live in a death culture, an extinction culture.' 'Enchanted. What does it mean? In terms of charisma, it means some of us submitted to an energy field emitted by the sounds of the whales. The fact that this is a wholly unacceptable, beyond-the-pale way of describing what happened is a painful and delicious irony.' 'According to this view, an artwork cannot be reduced to its parts or its materials, nor can it be reduced to its creator’s life, nor to some other context, however defined (the last decade, the current geological era, the economic structure of human society, art discourse, power-knowledge – anything). And art has an actual causal effect. Art just is tampering directly with cause and effect, because art is what cause and effect actually is. Art is charisma, pouring out of anything whatsoever, whether we humans consider it to be alive or sentient or not.' 'Exposure to art should be kept to a minimum, as if it were like nuclear radiation. Such reactions actually say something deep about art, in an upside-down way: art is causal. That’s what’s frightening about it.' 'Art sprays out charismatic causality despite us. And unlike a lot of things in our current world, and within limited parameters (sophistication, taste, cost), we still let it in.'

Everything you do is political. Stop blaming politicians. Start taking responsibility for the planet. Rethink the human agenda, redefine progress. Thank you @adbusters.magazine thank you #timothymorton

Timothy Morton, Being Ecological (UK: Pelican Books, 2018) Several thousand years from now, nothing about you as an individual will matter. But what you did will have huge consequences. This is the paradox of the ecological age. And it is why action to change global warming must be massive and collective. p.35 Humans don’t ‘have’ Dasein [mysterious being], because Dasein produces or realizes the human, in the same way that our violinist realizes the Bach sonata. p.48

the phenomene of faith in recyklation starts with the first sin, when the Adam pitting to catch the apple, just bite and waste them all. people starts to profit from the planet and ecological awareness has the form ofa loop. in this loop they become aware of themselves as a species. so some people start to feel depression and darkness witch is travel from the space to earth, as the living growing hyper object, at the same moment when people begin to realize that the right way to understand yourself as a species is like a hyperobject. they imagine Godzilla, who appears to have grown as awareness of hyperobjects such as global warminghas taken hold. having started at a relatively huge fifty metres, by 2014 he had grown to a whopping one hundred and fifty metres tall.

we have realising that the whole world, including ‘little’ us, is in the vice-like death grip of a gigantic entity including ourselves as the human specie. human as a geophysical specie has become a machine for generating hyperobjects.

to avoid the consequences of the last global warming, humans devised a logistics that has resulted in global warming. people start to recognize that the ecological value of the term Nature is dangerously overrated, because Nature isn’t just a term. it’s something that happened to human built space, demarcating human systems from Earth systems. nature as such is a twelve-thousand-year-old human product. the Anthropocene doesn’t destroy Nature. the Anthropocene is Nature in its toxic nightmare form. toxicity is happened to be the bridge of unconsciousness on how to be part of the hyper object and avoid the nature in its latent form waiting to emerge as catastrophe. it is starting to be hot in here. accelerations common with depression, through the wearing black, trends and especially fashion of Man in Black. the new hyper object starts to form as the subculture. the ecological thought includes negativity, ugli-ness and horror. what is called Universe is a large object that contains objects such as black holes and racing pigeons. people find out that they can control them by their own unconsciousness. that this is the only way through, after the end of the world.

it would make more sense to design in a dark ecological way, thought the black hole, admitting our coexis tence with toxic substances we have created and exploited. thous young peoples waiting to go trough the Supermassive Blackashole. To recyklate their selfs. To the new shiny world with no plastic bags.
