Menticide - 2022

Location: Dubbo, WPCC.
Date: 1.3.22

Medium: Acrylic and Can

Title: "Menticide"
Meaning: Efforts to destroy the mind or the will of an individual or group of people.

Having completely lost touch with the reality of what is natural and true. Subjected to self-induced manipulation, distractions, and deception. Becoming a traitor to their own consciousness. Fooled into self-censoring thoughts. Soon to be a controlled complacent consumer of a master plan to enslave and indoctrinate the mind. Delusions are carefully implanted and difficult to correct, the fear of freedom turns to a fear of assuming responsibility for actions and thoughts.
No rest, No Reflection, No Conversations, the senses are constantly bombarded with Stimuli. People no longer question their surroundings as he does not see them, the screen offers answers already made.
The mind turns aside from evidence that is not to their taste, whoever can supply these illusions becoming their master. Whoever attempts to break their illusion is an enemy
And yet, there are those who suffer, who are under the illusion that nothing is occurring.

“We seldom realize, for example, that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.”
― Alan Watts

"Social Programming"

Been sitting on this for a while. Whether to talk about it or just throw the image out there and let those who view it take what they will from it. Which is my general point to painting anything. No words being needed. There it is without the abstract contemporary dog dribble, it is there in black and white, take it in suckers!

May 2020, I took part in the WPCC “scoreboard” project. Putting together a painting and trying to hit on as many themes as I could to make sense of my scrambled thinking of current issues with politics and society. Covid really hadn’t taken over in Australia just yet but the Media was just getting warmed up with the bombardment of Fear they now dump on you all daily.
To quote Prince “play with computers, but don’t let the computers play you” something like that.
And hey surely are now.
If you don’t think your every movement isn’t being tracked in the past, (which you're now just handing over without questioning) you should be aware that it is by now. Don’t be so naive to think corporations and governments will not use the data you willingly hand over against you, to exploit and manipulate you. Anyway, lots to be said. and there is enough jibber-jabber out there already.

But remember this, no matter what these Governments tell you to do right now, they should never be able to control your free will and volition. And since we now are going into “lockdown” watch these movies.
