The world is much bigger than you can imagine.
You can suspect how the system works only from above.
It seems to be an international elite that runs it,
the black underbelly of the Anglo-Venetian empire,
the most powerful and criminal international forces…
…but it is us.
A horde of workers, the unemployed and civil servants
who do nothing.

A curse for such a fate.
Bronze giants with feet of clay.
The weight of their arrogance and haughtiness
On our shoulders.
They spit the earth to the skies
As if they were gods.

Pavements are marked with expiry dates.
Prostitutes label their breasts with barcodes
that can only be deciphered by
only decipherable by state-of-the-art optical penises.
Men with plastic phones stapled to their ears.·

Better not to know of his wild hatreds
than of this buttery physical intuition.
For the sake of passing the time I wished to mystify,
I just had to use this name or the other,
sex as sport or coffee substitute,
run up another hill, another empty building.

The Outsiders

Presentado por OFFF (E) CCCB, Hall, Barcelona
The enigmatic Han Hoogerbrugge and the Spanish Rubén Cárdenas are two of the most heterodox and non-classifiable creators of interactives who nowadays are working on the Net. The world of Cárdenas is full of warm motifs completely removed from the usual geometric aesthetics on the Web. For his part, the small Flash pieces by Han Hoogerbrugge starring hieratic and hyperactive characters have jumped the boundaries of the Net and have turned him into one of the most recognizable artists of his generation.
